All accounts upgrading to Square enix accounts

I doubt that the names on the POL and SE accounts have to be the same.

And can't you try calling support to fix your name? How did you enter it backwards in the first place? Shouldnt you be double checking before submitting important personal information?

They don't have to be the same. As my name isn't Japanese but my account is, and you had to type in a kanji name, the name on my account isn't mine. The name on my SE account is mine though.

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.

And what about those people that lived in Japan at launch and then moved out of that country later, for work/school/other reasons...? 9 years is a long time to live in the same place. I've lived at about 6 different addresses in the past 9 years. You can't change the region the address on your account is for if you move out of the region.

The switch to SE IDs may allow us to finally change the region of our accounts though. They did it once with SE IDs, they should be able to do it again.
