QooApp also exists globally to provide access to KR, TW, JP and a handful of CN based games (I forget if Traditional or Simplified is the easier version to get access to) to non-regional players. This is how I'm currently playing the KR version of Persona 5X for example while an English version is still in the works (which funnily enough just expanded their range of accepted forms of payment to include US credit cards and Google Pay (at launch it was just KR based payment methods) so they must be enjoying having people on the West playing their game lol).
When I signed up for the JP version of PSO2 in 2012, I had to give them an address. So of course, I used the physical location of Sega of Japan like every other westerner without an address in Japan.
