Square Enix unveils a new group customer harassment policy designed to protect its employees from bad fan behavior.

The policy states that there are situations where “the actions taken by certain customers … constitute ‘customer harassment’ of employees” that may be carried out through violence, defamation, intimidation or other means.

"This type of behavior not only prevents our employees and partners from working with peace of mind, but also causes interference to other customers. Square Enix will not tolerate harassment and will take action if necessary," the policy reads.

In addition to defining the harassment it holds, the company stated that it reserves the right to cease providing support services or products and will protect its employees through legal actions or criminal proceedings.

This policy does not specifically list examples of harassment, but it is obviously formulated because of the emergence of such behavior.

The Final Fantasy 7 fan base, in particular, was notorious for having disagreements about Iris and Tifa and their relationship with Claude.

In December, Brianna White, the voice actor of Iris, said: "I say this with love: Final Fantasy 7 fans need to calm down. We love these characters, we are a family.So relax."

Last January, Claude's voice actor Cody Christian said that fans' "rat-matching" behavior "sanded the wonderful story development" by over-sexualization.

At the same time, Naoki Yoshida, the producer and director of Final Fantasy 14, has also talked about the abusive behaviors targeting the game developers many times.

As early as January 2022, Yoshida Naoki talked about the abuse targeting developers, saying: "I mean, I can bear this, and although that won't make the situation a little better, the employeesAfter trying their best to create content that everyone can enjoy, it is frustrating to hear those words, which may eventually lead to them not creating interesting things anymore.”

Then last year, after the release of the latest expansion, Dawntrail, he gave a comment on the terrifying and insulting remarks sent to Vuk Ramatt voice actor Sena Bryer.

"It's a pity that one of our employees received very negative comments, which was almost like a personal attack, which hurt me because she was really working very hard and the criticisms were not constructive at all.. This is not only of losing motivation for employees, but may ultimately damage the quality of our game, but also detract from the fun of the game. So if you have any criticism, please give it to me because I am reviewing theseThe person with content. I want to stress again, please do not personally attack our employees.”
