You don't make a "crysta account." you just buy crysta and choose it as your payment method in your square enix account.

If you don't have a square enix account yet, then, well, that's what you need to do.

Click the big red button on the left side of the official FFXI site to get started.

Can we use crysta to buy things from the square enix store? Or is it only for paying monthly subscriptions?

[DarkBass]

Can you use a Visa card through Click and buy> Crysta? cuz its sayin my card isn't valid. I hear most CC companies flat out dont work with click and buy because of its slim shadiness.

You don't go through click and buy to get crysta. You use PayPal or Ultimate Game Cards. Select Crysta as your payment method, and on the Square Enix Account page's sidebar, click Add Crysta to charge your account.

Do not sign up for click and buy or give them your credit card if you don't intend to use them, because it's a pain to close a clickandbuy account.

If you're in the US, I guess their pretty easy to find. I hear that most gas stations/7-11 stores sell them, probably EB Games, Best Buy, etc.

I still have not found a store that sells them in my city yet, but I live in Canada.

[DarkBass]

found out they sell them in wal-mart too. so if you got a wal-mart try the check out lines.

Yea, a whole bunch of stores have em. My local Wal-mart doesn't though; at least not in the electronics department with all the other game cards.
