This is like seriously the best news ever!
Because you will now be able to use Crysta to pay for FFXI, and I have 10,000 just collecting dust, plus I'm assuming one will be able to continue to purchase Crysta via Paypal and other optional sources instead of having a 3D Secure CC. Sure they say you still need one, but with Crysta/Paypal one should be able to bypass that ridiculous system.
Man do I have such a huge smile atm. Maybe, just maybe I might consider playing FFXI afterall, at least for a month or so, but we'll see. Really depends on if I decide to jump back into Rift until SW:TOR or maybe TERA. I still wanna try that one.

In order to better safeguard the account security of PlayOnline users and to provide a more streamlined account management experience, we will be transferring all PlayOnline IDs to the Square Enix Account system.
The transfer process will be available in the last half of July, and will give users access to an improved user interface that will allow account management from any web-browser.
Please visit the following URL for details on all of these changes.
http://support.na.square-enix.com/j/kb59527na
Please note that all users will have to log in and agree to the transfer by August 31, 2011, or they will lose access to PlayOnline and FINAL FANTASY XI.
In the last half of July, a walkthrough detailing the transfer process will be posted on the PlayOnline website as well as the FAQ section of the Square Enix Support Center.
This transfer will require you have a Square Enix Account. If you don’t already have a Square Enix Account, we strongly encourage you to create one in advance at https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/register. Customers who already have Square Enix Accounts need only complete the transfer process.
We hope you’ll agree that this marks a significant step towards providing a more secure, user-friendly, and responsive experience.
In order to better safeguard the account security of PlayOnline users and provide a more streamlined account management experience, transfer of PlayOnline IDs to the Square Enix Account System will begin at the end of July, 2011.
Please visit the following URL for more information on Square Enix accounts.

* Transfer Process
A walkthrough detailing the transfer process will be posted on the PlayOnline website as well as the FAQ section of the Square Enix Support Center at the end of July, 2011.
