They said on they taking counter measures. That's all their going to say or will say on the subject.

The counter measure is swapping their ISPs since the entire problem is the NTT nodes getting hit, but they clearly don't give a shit about the DDoSing. The reality is that Square Enix does not care about their non-JP playerbase. They do not read the English forums, they do not read English feedback, they've ignored ping-related clipping issues for a decade, they create useless datacenters like Materia purely to get non-JP people off their precious servers, and now we have this DDoS issue that has happened for over a year with zero changes or improvements. They literally couldn't care less if NA can play the game or not
