They did have their own system -- People complained about it because they were so impatient they couldn't enter FFXI in a few seconds.

They can take Direct CCs in Japan but not the west yet.

Thus showing that they didn't put enough thought and work into making there billing system. For a company that's as big as Square Enix not to have there own billing system, and there relaying on 3rd parties to sad. Every other game I can think of right now that's a MMORPG has there own payment system. Heck Rune Scape and Fly FF have there own payment system, and if there's an issue you call them, and not deal with a 3rd party billing system, that you hope will work.

You pointed out that players in Japan can pay Square Enix directly which is great to read, but talk about dropping the ball for the rest of the world... Thuse causeing the games and compaines image to look even wores with all the people having billing issues, and issues with the custormer service on both ends!
