Square Games?

I dropped out of the loop for a while and I knew that Funimation had expressed an issue with fan games of their licensed shows being on BYOND but what's the deal with no one having a Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts fan game?

What did Square say and what would happen if I were to make a FF/KH fan game? Are there simply the same restrictions as with Funi games or is it stricter?

They may not care, or they may feel offended and request that you take it down, It depends on the company. If you're truly curious, go ahead and make it, it'll be months before anyone even stumbles across it, and most likely they won't care enough about an amateur game under the same title, racking in $0, to say anything to their boss or lawyers about it.

In response to Danbriggs
Square shut down all of the final fantasy games on BYOND a while back, leading to Final Fantasy Legacy to start pushing ahead with their conversion to an original IP. I don't remember which other games were specifically named in the C&D, but they pretty much said no Square games IIRC.
