Final Fantasy 14 Confirms Date for Broken Payments Fix

Highlights

  • Final Fantasy 14 Visa Debit payment issues to be resolved July 23, after new processor caused errors.
  • Players can buy game time codes or use Crysta as workaround until Visa Debit payments are back.
  • Recent payment changes introduced applicable state and local taxes for purchases in Final Fantasy 14.

As a long-time fan of Final Fantasy 14, I’m relieved to hear that the Visa Debit payment issues are finally getting resolved on July 23. It’s been a frustrating experience for many players, including myself, who have had to find workarounds like purchasing game time codes or Crysta to keep playing. The recent switch to a new payment processor seemed to cause more problems than solutions, and I’m glad that Square Enix is addressing the issue head-on.


Starting July 23, North American “Final Fantasy 14” players can utilize their Visa Debit cards once more to cover subscription fees or shop in the game’s online marketplace. Following the implementation of a new payment processor towards the end of April, processing Visa Debit transactions for these users in North America has been an issue, but this hurdle is soon to be overcome.

In late April, Final Fantasy 14 gamers started encountering payment problems, a situation that has been identified by developers as being caused by the introduction of a new payment processor on April 23. At first, errors were linked to Visa debit and credit cards, Discover credit cards, and Mastercards issued by Capital One. However, Square Enix’s subsequent announcements have exclusively focused on the issues affecting Visa Debit cards.

The payment system glitches are being sorted out after thorough examinations, and following a short upkeep phase scheduled for July 23, the system is expected to process Visa Debit cards as a viable payment method again. This patch encompasses Square Enix’s Online Store and Account Management, including Mog Station – a platform for managing Final Fantasy 14 subscriptions and accessing account information. Players reported issues with the payment system since early May, unable to pay subscription fees or make in-game purchases. Developers acknowledged the problems on May 1, assuring a resolution that would materialize sometime in July, as announced on the Final Fantasy 14 news page.

Final Fantasy 14 Payment Errors Have Workarounds

players can buy Crysta, Square Enix’s digital currency, through Mog Station using PayPal or Amazon Pay. Additionally, game time codes from authorized retailers remain an option. US gamers returning to the title should be aware of recent changes on Mog Station and the Online Store, which now include taxes based on their state and locality, effective June 25th.

At an unfortunate moment for Square Enix, payment issues arose as the excitement for their MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) was gaining traction. The highly anticipated expansion, named “Dawntrail,” officially released on July 2, bringing a fresh wave of engagement among players. With enhanced graphics and new elements such as an increased level cap, the addition of two new jobs, and another intriguing chapter in the storyline set in a newly discovered continent, the player base has been rejuvenated.
