Aside from being region locked, the game itself is great. Just use a VPN. Square Enix still sucks.

People stop being stupid. If you want to play the game and your serious about it install the app first then get a vpn. Set your vpn to Canada and download the game. Yes, you will have to put on the vpn everytime you play but that can't be helped. It doesn't affect your gameplay with lag or the like so it doesn't matter, as long as your serious about wanting to play the game. So far the game has been phenomenal it has the generic setup of other turn based rpg but its done so well that I can't be impressed. The combat it decent with a little bit of innovation with the linked attacks. The music is great. Animations great. Story is phenomenal and based. The only issue you can have with this game currently is either the limited open world aspect or this soft launch.
