Square Enix Co., Ltd (“Square Enix”) is delighted to hear that fans want to share videos and images of our games online.

While Square Enix would like to accommodate such requests, the images, videos, characters, music and all other media that make up our games are the intellectual property of Square Enix or its licensors, and therefore Square Enix has set out individual guidelines regarding the use of videos and other assets from each of its games on a title-by-title basis, in order to suitably maintain and protect the settings and stories of Square Enix’s games going forward.

Please adhere to the terms of these guidelines in relation to the use of videos, live streaming, and images (“Content”) of FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH or any demo for FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH (collectively, the “Game”).
