Can no longer access email I used for my Square Enix account. How to proceed?

[drbuniYT]

I have been feeling like playing a decent MMO, and FF14 is pretty much the only one that exists in 2021. I already played the game here on Steam before (screenshots in my account, plus you can see about 100 hours of it clocked in my profile). However, the email I used during registration has been long deleted due to hackers being not fun at parties.

I managed to log into the account on Firefox because it is linked to my Steam account, but I can't really log into the game with it because I don't have access to the email (because it doesn't exist), to click on the confirmation link.

I don't mind buying the game again, so I can get a new CD key, and register it in a new account, but Steam won't let me, because I technically already have it. Plus, there should be a more elegant way to solve this that doesn't involve buying the game again, right? I assume the fact I can log into the account with my steam account should prove that it is, in fact, mine, but perhaps it is a lot more complicated than just that.

Help is appreciated.

You have to check it with Square Enix support, using Mogstation.

They will most likely ask you a few questions to make sure you're the owner of the account, but they should be able to register your new mail.

It might not be immediate, you might have to wait a few days maybe, but it can be done.

Thanks! I didn't know about MogStation.
