Will Square Enix be extending its services to more countries in 2.0/future?

[deathstix]

I've just been notified (in another thread, not by SE personnel though...unless the person does work in SE) that by entering a wrong country in the registration process, I'm not allowed to be a customer of Square Enix because I've already broken the Terms of Service. I didn't have a choice, as my country (Singapore) is not listed here. Apart from that, other information like credit card number/address/city are just as real as I am, just as real as the money I diligently dish out to keep Yoshi-P's coffee and cigarettes coming to him

Many of my Singaporean friends (and some from neighbouring Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines) would have done the same thing to get on this game. We would have either bought the EU or NA versions of the game locally (because we all do communicate in English).

I hope they are working towards expanding that list of countries to include us in future. This would mean we will get official support for this game and opportunities to participate in future forum-based competitions and stuff. We are certainly no aliens to FF XIV (including many who have spent years in XI). And after all... I'm sure Square Enix wants our moneeeeee

I looked at that list of countries again and am surprised to see "Brunei Darussalam" listed under Europe and the Middle East and am wondering if it's a honest mistake by SE's lawyers.... Brunei is nowhere there but is sandwiched between the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak and Indonesia's Borneo! How come they get serviced when we don't...

That's strange, a Linkshell member/friend of mine is from Singapore and he plays every day.

There's support just not official support, you usually have to be paired with x region (usually EU and Japan for a lot of SEA regions.) It's being extended to China region officially.

Zezlar I play everyday!!!!! And so do many of my friends on Masamune.
we can successfully create an account with Square Enix that enables us to log on and play the game, but for the longest of times none of us (I think) was unable to log on to these forums (which was rather funny because we pay subscription too). After almost 2 years of "Temporary session invalid. Please try again" error messages, I found a workaround (anonymous proxy) that enabled me to finally register and get me here.

Singapore is NOT in China...... (we get this joke ALL the time LOL).
Chances are the official support for China will be in .... Chinese. My Chinese Singaporean friends are fine with that, but I'm not Chinese...
Speaking about support, I had submitted two separate enquiries through my Square Enix account on my unability to access the forums... and.... yes you've guessed it. No reply.

Zezlar... and my blog and Lodestone profiles are active! I wonder how many times have I ranted about that on my Lodestone blog...

Hope they fix that for you guys. Didn't know those problems even existed :/

Pretty sure Elexia said your support would be from China not your country is within china. Would be the non-Japanese Asian support hub lol

Or she?/he said there is a general support called SEA not sure about that since I'm NA.

Jp onry.

I played ffxi for like 5-7 years listed in the wrong country. Don't worry.

Gee I missed this reply somehow.
It would make sense to lump us (South-East Asia) together with China since we are technically around the same region, we'll just have to wait and see if that will be the case for 2.0 (which will officially launch in China as what we've been told recently). And nope...there has been no official support for SEA all this while... except... Brunei Darussalam!!

Guess till then....it's Jp onry...... (but hey they are nice people okay.. I happen to know quite a number of Japanese here in Singapore but none with interest in this game )

You know what? SE even put Timor Leste, our youngest ASEAN brother in their list. and PNG (though PNG is not in ASEAN)
I personally find this, dissapointing
But oh well, what matter is we still can play
Contest and all is secondary need for me
