The issue is that due to server limitations, the system is automatically off-loading NA users to the EU site.  Yes, I know, you've clicked the American flag and attempted to login with your typical Square-Enix account, but it still takes you there.  Clearing cookies doesn't help, refreshing doesn't help.  The good news is that SE is aware of this, and they essentially want you to wait it out until the server capacity drops a bit.

Not everyone is having this issue, and it doesn't seem to be as high priority as the "Something went wrong, please try again later" error. Â If you look at the fine print on the bottom of that screen you can see that the domain you've entered is registered in London. Â A fellow RPCer went through all of the same steps without issue, so just keep trying.
TL;DR ~ Don't worry about it, try again late. Â Love, Squee
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That explains why I was seeing an eu site loading in the bottom left of my Chrome window. Â I had this feeling that maybe something was pulling from somewhere else, but that would explain everything.
