    I'm too lazy to check for myself now, but:

    There ARE alternative ways of paying the fees ("virtual" visa, etc), but you cannot buy a game card in stores, like WoW players can.

    Check playonline.com and choose your local region for details. I think I've heard something about additional methods for German players, so how many options there are, may depend on where you live.

    Yeah i checked it said cred it debit cards with visa or mastercard only that kind of ticks me off because i don't have a cc or debit unless i use another family members card which i don't like doing that D:

    I just did a check on the EU and US versions of playonline.com

    The EU site has a minibanner/logo on the left site: Available Now Virtual Visa, the US site does NOT have this. If you click on it, you end here:

    https://www.epassporte.com/secure/finalfantasy.cgi

    Yup - error!

    The EU site doesn't provide any useful info if you search for "payment". The US site (as always) has more info:

    "Credit and debit cards with Visa and Mastercard logos are accepted as the only payment method."

    So it seems that without Visa or Mastercard you can't play this game - sorry. I don't know why the Virtual Visa sends you to an error page at epassporte.com, but it may be a temporarly error, or that this method isn't offered anymore for some reason.

    You may be able to play if you get yourself a virtual visa, because the several banks who offers it, claims it's just as good as the real one. Try to search the web yourself for info about it.

    Something I said in the first post, is now confirmed via the Playonline Viewer (which you use to log into the game):

    There is an extra payment option/method for Germany, but it's delayed. It's called ELV, but I don't have further details about. it.
