[Need Help] Square Enix Account Region does not match my CD Key's region

[heytheresunshine]

Hey, I need some help.

I bought this game in July, but didn't get around to trying to play until just now. I had to register a Square Enix account, and I set my region to USA because that is where I'll be moving soon (I currently live in Europe).

However, when putting in my CD Key, it didn't allow access because the CD Key is under a different region from my Square Enix account.

After contacting SE support, they basically said "SOL, you'll need to buy a new copy of the game". Is there anything I can do Steamside? Get a new CD key? I saw another forum discussion when someone had the same issue, and people suggested a trade with someone who has the same issue with opposite regions?

Any advice or help would be appreciated!

Edit: I was able to contact SE customer support to transfer my Steam account's link to a new, region-appropriate SE account.

You can't change regions ever with this game, which made things complicated for some people who moved regions.

All I gotta say here if you can make it work is simply to make a EU SE account and use your CD key there and you technically should be fine for paying even when you are in the US as you can pay with the Steam wallet and the Steam wallet does support multiple currencies.
