Most people nowadays (especially us net-savvy folk) use a combination of alternate browsers, No Script, Ad Block, Ghostery, Do Not Track, et al. Security settings are nice and tight. After speaking with a chat agent, I was informed that the back end error (for me) was "Null Value not allowed for expiry date". Something in part of my security cocktail was forcing that to happen.

1) In your preferred browser, try to white list or turn off security settings for Square Enix, Global Collect, Mog Station, etc.
2) Failing that, use a basic browser such as Safari or Internet Explorer (IE ended up working for me on the first try. Went straight to Mog Station, no browsing elsewhere).
OMG THIS WORKED FOR ME TOO! /endthread

However in the future, the error message should guide the user to use internet explorer.
