I'm getting screwed over by you guys again and obviously you can now fix it. I have a Japanese account, but I live in the US. I have to pay over 20$/month to keep my character because you've stopped accepting foreign credit cards, and webmoney is overpriced. Now you're punishing me for buying a security token. Why was this option not available when we first created SE accounts? This is the second fake name and address I've had to make, do you know how confusing Japanese addresses are?

Please reconsider this statement:
"Customers who currently have a link in place will be required to transfer their PlayOnline account to the Square Enix account it is linked to."

At the very least have the decency to let me call you and do this over the phone. Every three months: Go to website A > buy 3 months worth of webmoney for 67$ > go to website B to pay for it > go to webmoney to add funds > open up JP POL > try and remember how to navigate to pay since I read almost no Japanese > enter in long code > repeat.

Why do you have a Japanese account if you don't live in Japan? Why would you create a Japenese account if you can't read Japanese?

Maybe he purchased a JP character/account? Isn't that against the TOS?

Maybe because I love the FF series and I have family overseas who came to visit and asked me if i wanted anything. It took me 2 days to figure out how to set up an account, and that was with guides. Took me another day to figure out how to not die endlessly. I learned Katakana and Hiragana by force: I'd see an item and have to ask other importers what it was so I had to type it character by character trying different combos eventually i just remembered what they were. It was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. Lost in a world where basically no one speaks your language and you can't understand anything.

tl;dr cause I love FF games and I had the chance to import it so I did. I started playing about 1/2 a year or so before it was released in the US.
