I live in Australia and have an NA Square Enix account (originally from FFXI US launch since it wasn't in my country)

During phase 3 I received a code to download the client and was able to link & login using my NA Square Enix account without any issue.

I got a code for the Phase 4 beta and when trying to login with my account it said 'The region is different' and did not allow me to link my Square Enix account to my PSN one, asking for me to use software from the correct region.

I had actually asked about this very thing in the 'A Realm Reborn purchase questions' thread moons ago without answer. I then asked SE support about it and they said they couldn't answer, so I repeated my question in purchase thread, highlighting it was an important question and still received no answer.

I ask this again, now that I have already paid for an NA PS3 CE to get pre-order bonuses.

Will I be able to attach my Square Enix account to my AU PSN account like I did in Phase 3?

I'd hate to have to make an NA one purely for this purpose, especially since this would effectively lock me out of any/all of the features to use from my true PSN account.

Please answer
