All accounts upgrading to Square enix accounts

[Alhanelem]

There are still quite a few people that imported FFXI many many years ago, as such they play FFXI from a region other than what their install is. Are they going to be safe with this new change?

You will most likely need to use a region-appropriate square enix account, which you most likely are doing already unless you don't have an account at all yet.

Just the overview sounds like it's going to hurt more than help.

To me it sounds like the first step in completely removing playOnline, which I think everyone should be jubulant about.

There's a flipside to that. With POL you could exit the game while staying logged in, change your graphics settings and then restart FFXI without having to log out. One of my annoyances with FFXIV was that you had to completely log out and shut down the game to make any changes to graphics settings.

Also, will I have to memorize all of my account info for all four of my accounts? I like that POL has an account list and remembers my password and login ID for each so that I only need to provide the same SE account password and one time password from my token to log in to all of them.
