I feel cheated buying SE prodcut

Should have mentioned you used Steam trial. For Steam, you will have to buy the game from Steam and also sub from there. It's a Steam thing. So, Steam will decide on their own price of the game. Go ask for a refund on the copy you bought from SE store.

It sounds very complex for new player, lol. Anyway, thanks for your prompt reply, that's much appreciated

I didn't realize you bought it through Steam. Unfortunately... because the various platform owners want a cut of the sale... there is some limitation here. For example, if you want to play on the PS4, you have to buy the game for the PS4 even if you already have it (so Sony gets their cut). In your case, so Steam/Valve gets their cut. Unfortunately yes, it is a bit convoluted.

Good luck with the refund. And belatedly, welcome to Eorzea.

It's really steam that is the problem more that Square Enix in this case. I hate the way they handle games that require separate subscriptions like this. Their handling is horrible.
