SEA players and resident of US/EU, how are you paying subs right now after the change

They aren't scrapping Crysta, are they?

Crysta usage is very restricted, my region is Australia and adding Crysta always gave me Error 11000. They don't tell you what's that error is but reddit mention that it was region blocker.

Im told paypal still work around the whole credit card/regional address thing, so no worries. (Athough if you have to use any currency conversion with paypal look into it, they like to add hidden fees.)

Players from the philippines are now unable to use CC, Paypal or Time cards . I guess square wants to kick us out.

Really? Oh my.. I have 5 days left on this account. Sad.

Also, hello my fellow kababayan.

[Burmecia]

use paypal or paysafe card to buy crysta
im very careful with any auto-payment shenanigans, i don't want any of that on my bank account

Caribbean user here. There's still a glaring problem with their payment systems. Their site *locks* your region to what you first signed up with. As someone who played this game from the 2.0 launch, I created my account with the US as my region as it was the only option at the time. In order for my Visa/Mastercard to work, the address needs to be verified to *my * address in the Caribbean. I can't change my region so i'm SOL. And their lodestone post doesnt give me much hope that they're about to address that. If this problems persists, i can tell you who won't be subbing anymore. I'm not about to waste my time using work-around methods.

I think it locks you in to the version of game you purchased.
so EU/NA/JPN
so if you're not in a region they acknowledge to be in any of those three, fake it til you make it xD

and I think you also gotta fake an address to buy stuff from the SE store. Even for digital stuff

If you have retainers, want to buy something in mogstation, then you can't do that. Given if Timecards work cause from what I heard, it seems to do address verification also.

I've never seen a company work so hard on making paying for it harder. I really hate it. I wish we had paysafe here, but it's not available in my country.
It's so stressful, everytime my sub comes around I'm stressed...now I know it probably will never renew again. I won't be able to buy anything from the mogstation and will lose my retainers. Just lovely.

[Doomfist]

As a SEA player I always renew my sub with gametime cards, but this time I ran into the address verification issue. Entering the same address I used for years gave me an 'invalid address' error.

The way I solved it was by using an address lookup website that checks if my address exists. I just had to change my zip code to a different one for the area, and change my street address to match the valid format for the address website (valid format seems to be [Street Number, Street]). Took me two hours to fix my address info and I was about to quit ffxiv forever until I solved this.

Edit: you may have to abbreviate Street as St, like 12 Greenhill Street vs 12 Greenhill St
