Had no issues with this game or any other MMOs previously and suddenly, I need to pay extra for a VPN to play a game?

How about SE deduct the cost of the VPN from my monthly subscription if said VPN is deemed required to play FFXIV?
Perhaps you should educate yourself on how the internet works and take this up with your ISP.
