All accounts upgrading to Square enix accounts

I really hope SE is gonna make it so we can use a CC directly on the account

some of you keep bringing up FFXIV, the game is still free to play so that argument is pointless, they have no need to implement another payment system on a free game, but SE stands to lose a lot if they don't implement a real payment system for FFXI, I just hope they realize what they have to lose, they could always just transfer their current POL billing system over to the S-E billing system, that would help quite a lot of people and the risk would be too high not to consider it

this quote below tells me it may very well be implemented so that we keep the current payment methods

* Payment Methods
Square Enix Crysta (http://www.square-enix.com/na/account/crysta/), debit cards, and credit cards will be viable payment methods after ID transfer. Debit and credit cards must support personal authentication services (such as 3D Secure) in order to be used.

there are clues in the answer to the first question on this post below as well

it sounds to me like they plan on keeping the current payment method but also the change will allow for a few more options, which will be good for some of the people I know since they don't have credit cards
