Square Enix Co., Ltd. (“Square Enix”) is pleased to receive requests from everyone interested in sharing videos and images of our games online, but we ask that you be mindful of a few things, as set out in these guidelines (the “Guidelines”).

Square Enix permits you to post online and otherwise use certain content from TRIANGLE STRATEGY (the “Game”) subject to these Guidelines. These Guidelines apply only outside of Japan; if you are located in Japan or have obtained a Japanese version of the Game, please check the different guidelines that apply to you.

[Permitted Uses]

You may post the Materials online for the following permitted personal uses (the "Permitted Uses”) only:

  • Upload or stream gameplay video to video sharing sites such as YouTube, Niconico Douga, etc. (however, these are limited to sites that are already under a music usage agreement/contract with the Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers (“JASRAC”))
  • Linking the above video/stream URL and/or thumbnails to microblogging platforms, etc., including but not limited to personal blogs, Twitter, etc.

*Any derivative uses of video content outside of the above is prohibited.

[Usage Conditions]

  • Do not use the materials for commercial purposes.
    However, you may use official monetization functions available through video sharing sites such as YouTube, Niconico Douga, and other similar services that have an agreement in place with JASRAC. If the video sharing site sends you an inquiry regarding the copyright of a monetized video, please direct them to this guideline.
  • Display the below copyright on posted or shared content.

  • In order to avoid spoiling players’ enjoyment of the game, you must mark all content that includes details of major plot developments with a clear spoiler warning.
  • Do not modify the gameplay element of your video content.

  • Do not reproduce shared content other than as expressly contemplated by these Guidelines. For example, you cannot collect and distribute Materials via other media —e.g., in book form— even if you do not stand to gain financially from doing so.
