I once lived for some years in Japan where the game is available on Steam and bought it there,
I then went back to my home country in SEA where surprisingly,
until this day, the Full Game is still not available in my country's Steam Store, or even in SEA (except SG) but the Free Trial is since a long time ago.
Having the Free Trial available but not the Full Game available on the Store is something that makes no sense.
Also, since the OCE server which is very close to my country is coming soon already, it would be weird if it's not even available on the neighboring country.
We only ask for FFXIV, its Full Game to be available here in SEA Steam Store just like the Free Trial (and with a localized price if possible).
I have a lot of friends ready to throw money into this game just to get discouraged because they have to go through hoops just to register an account and purchase the game.
Or a slightly worse option, let us buy the expansion using Crysta.
Sure, I still have to buy it at a higher price because of currency but her, at least I can buy it.
Or maybe just let me move from Steam to Non-Steam?
There are a lot of things can be done but I still think just making the Full Game available on our Steam Store just like how the Free Trial is will be the best option.
If you don't want to sell it at local pricing, then it's fine, just make it available first.
I know this might not be much for other people who plays on other platform and can easily buy it from outside Steam, but I have no choice since I am locked to Steam.
If allowed, I could buy the Full Game again from Square Enix Store as long as they let me use the same account, but unfortunately that's not the reality we live in.
My sub is ending soon so unfortunately I won't be able to reply until FFXIV is made available on SEA Steam Store.
I really hope they would realize that we SEA players also exist and we spend/would spend money on this game.
My friend also made a thread regarding this but unfortunately a lot of people only read the title and misunderstood the content.
