All accounts upgrading to Square enix accounts

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?

I use an EU account, on an NA client with an NA credit card, I've had my SE ID since they started selling mog satchels, It's working fine so far.

This change is going to be great for people who got FFXI The CORRECT way instead of importing the game from another country before the game even came out in the US or EU.

You're assuming that people never move from where they were when they created their characters.
