He urged the game's community to respect each other's privacy and to report any suspicious activities.

Final Fantasy 14 is one of the most popular MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games) today, boasting a large and active player community. It is essential for the game's developers to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for their players. As such, the team is committed to taking strict actions against any form of harassment, including stalking.
