Hi there everyone!
No, Square-Enix didn't sued me, but a friend of mine raised this question. So I want to ask anyone here that is well versed in laws overall. I only know the laws of my country.
The setting is this one:
I develop parody games, I already developed two parodies before (one of Ninja Gaiden and other of Castlevania Symphony of the Night respectively) and so far, Koei Tecmo and Konami didn't seemed to care about it.
The main characteristic on my parodies is that I don't quite parody only one single game, but a mashup of a lot of games in that same genre and the game plot doesn't even resemble any of the parodied games in the end.
My country laws freely allows parodies of any artwork or media. (Lei nº 9610 Art. 47)
With that said, I still wonder if Square-Enix would consider my recent work (Fantasya Final Definitiva REMAKE) an infringement of their rights anyhow.
It seems that Square-Enix is a bit grumpy on these subjects, but I'm pretty sure I'm clear on this and that any lawsuit filed against me would result in anything in the end. Even so, having to respond to courts would be a hassle and I honestly prefer to avoid this if that's the case.
Anyone here can shed a light on this for me?

- In short, my parodies are a original work completely different of their parodied counterparts.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
