First of all, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, I'm borderline dumb. :P
But, I noticed the site offers USD, GBP, and EU currencies, but not CAD. Please, this would make it easier for Canadians like me to know how much they're spending!
Or just use math... easy. :p
Wait, really?

Huh, I never noticed they didn't have that. I wonder why they don't use CAD too.
That seems like a silly oversight. I hope you get your wish and they add it soon.
just google the exchange rate or just literally enter $X US in CDN.
Having a local currency option is nice in most cases because you don't have to deal with currency fluctuations and actually ends up being cheaper. E.g. a 20 USD game on Steam typically costs 25 CAD in our local currency pricing. With the current exchange rate which is pretty average it would have been $27 plus potential bank exchange fees if Steam didn't change to localized pricing several years back. Sometimes it ends up being more than you would have paid, but I find that's more of an exception than something that's common.
I would also add that this would be nice to have for our subscription cost as well. Right now I pay for 6 months at a time at legacy pricing plus some retainers for $71.94 but I never know if I'm going to be paying $80 or $100 or $120. Can't just google the exchange rate for that since it's a specific day in the future that it happens.
Yeah, it would be nice for Squeenix to offer more local currency options. I seem to remember there was a thread from someone in south america I think who said that the exchange rate cost was prohibitively expensive for anyone making average wage in their country.
