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.
