Paypal please! (or Riot :P)

Again though, It's not like it has to go through Paypal directly. They were able to use UltimatePay for quite a while before they shut down. Its not like they cant go through another 3rd party that would offer that support.
Another option they could do is instead of Game Time Cards they could make "CRYSTA" cards. Crysta is usable for subs and cash shop items. Or come up with a simple method to convert a game time card to crysta currency and keep the current game time cards available.

They could easily offer Crysta digitally through the NA Square Enix store. Since the store accepts paypal through Digital River this would not be hard to accomplish. Then just enter the "code" as one would a gametime code or what have you, but instead of time, it would give you an amount of crysta.

They said they were working on adding paypal and asked for patience. That was months ago, however. No idea if they really are working on it or just said it to shut people off.

It could be because Paypal won't accept funds from a Japanese bank account. At least, they didn't when I tried to make a Japanese account while I was there.

Then only offer Paypal to the accounts registered under an NA/EU, problem solved. Different regions, different methods of payments.

Except somewhere along the line a Japanese bank is going to be involved.
It's probably not as simple as people think it is, especially when you MUST understand that not only are Japanese banks archaic as hell, but they're also rather shady.
You know how you can go to an ATM anywhere in the U.S. and pull out money with almost any bank's card so long as you pay a small fee? Yeah you can't do that in Japan.
Remember that SE isn't maliciously trying to screw you over. If they could "easily" do PayPal, they would've done it already. They want your money.

Uh, yes you can. If you are with a ridiculously small local bank you might have some trouble, but otherwise it's fine.

I wish they would Offer "ideal" for european customers as well as paypal, or release Crysta cards in stores across europe.

Though for me it is not such a big deal, but "ideal can be quite useful over a Creditcard. Besides I have friends who don't have creditcards but wish to purchase things from the shop.

This is completely false. I am currently in Japan and despite having language barriers, I have been able to withdraw funds from any and all ATM's I have attempted to withdraw funds at. While paypal is understandably problematic for Japanese banks, That doesnt mean that things like Game Time Cards and "crysta" cards aren't either. I stand behind my earlier comments. They could just as easily incorporate Game Time Cards as a way to pay for Crysta, by converting the "time" to "crysta" So if you paid for a two month time card ($30) that should be "3000" crysta.

Wait a few days. I had the exact issue, if you try one, and it doesn't work, and you try another one, you get locked out for 24 hours everytime you get the 401/whatever error. They don't state this, which is very wrong, but yeah, wait some time.. I had to wait like 2 weeks.

[Vespar]

I dont get an option, I have to wait for this archaic system to decide its ready to accept :P

Paypal payment is sorely needed for this game . Please implement this devs .
