SQEX Attempt to Eradicate "Foreigners" from JP Server by BLOCKING/Convolute PAYMENT.

I doubt it.

Mostly because if it is, it would be really, really effin' stupid. Because literally nothing is stopping say an NA player from making a character a JP DC, since unlike say WoW there is no necessity to have separate game accounts for each region.

The difference is, NA player have place in NA to play on their own server, it's not a problem for them if NA doesn't have reason to play in JP and can't speak their language. SEA region doesn't have and the only destination is JP, we "have to" play in JP.

What you don't seem to understand, and wasn't able to penetrate the tinfoil you've wrapped your head in, is that North American and European players can readily make characters on Japanese data centers and play there should they wish. Obviously, the payment processor move has nothing to do with keeping foreign players off the Japanese data center. If, in conjunction with the change to their payment processor, they locked people to their home data centers you might have a leg to stand on.

Either find a way to pay with a method of payment accepted by the store or resign yourself to having to buy gamecards.

Tinfoil or not, the fact is NA/EU able to play in JP is not a problem for them because there is no reason to unless you have a friend. NA/EU never caused problems in JP DC unlike SEA.
You can play in JP right now, but do you need to? No you don't, so does 99.9% of NA/EU population. Just because you can, doesn't mean you need to.

I've playing in Japan for years and I'm in NA.

Frankly I think the test for Materia Regional Travel is the opening for having that travel everywhere.

Ok I count one person, out of 30 millions registered player. Who else?

You can't count and you have no clue so don't make up stuff you have no idea or knowledge about. Pretty typical here though in the land of fuss and budget.

And you do not represent every NA players out there. So why bother commenting?

I'm genuinely curious why they don't have license in SEA/ SEA Steam tbh when you can buy 15 and 7 on steam with no issues.
