PLEASE FIX PAYMENT PROCESS !!!

Hi!

I'm from SEA, Philippines. And I've been playing FFXIV since 2019. My partner is from the US so I use his US address and card to pay, so I at least have no problem going through the whole payment process. However, I have friends from my hometown that I recruit to play FFXIV and I'm just so disappointed that they're having problems with paying their sub or pre-ordering Dawntrail just because of the current update.

I don't know why SQUARE ENIX in general makes it a point to cast out SEA countries in the list. You guys make it hard to support your games, FFXIV especially. This game has given me comfort throughout the years, knowing that it might be impossible for us to play the game because the new payment process where it is now region locked is just so disheartening.

Is there anyway you guys can fix this? Make it accessible to us SEA players???? I've been advertising this game to my friends, wanting them to experience what I've experience, and now they can't have that just coz of the recent payment update.
