It would figure that I get paid and then go into the JP SQEX store so I can make my purchase and have it shipped to a friend in Japan (so it can, in turn, be shipped here as the SQEX stores don't ship outside of their respective regions) AND THEN THE WHOLE THING IS DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE

That damn limited edition FFXIV magazine better still be available for preorder in the morning... I'm going to bed.
