Site itself isn't blocked, but I can confirm that trying to enter the SEGA-ID site gives a 'can't access from you region" error.
1. It's "お客様の環境からはご利用できません。 " for me.
2. I'm in the middle of a 3 month long vacation in my home country at the moment, going back there in January but found changing the location just for that to be a tad annoying so I left it as it was.
Edit:
Ah, got it. You can't create a new sega ID from outside Japan (the registration button on the Player's site), but you can access your old one to manage it.
Could this be an elaborate plan of SoA to scare people into not starting on the JP server?!?!
Luckily my vpn provider offers jp anyway.
Here is a free web proxy if anyone needs to register an account

Select japan, paste URL.
So basically they're blocking only the creation of new accounts? Does this mean they won't touch those who are already registered and playing the game?
Probably for the time being. Once the NA/EU server is up, I imagine they'll start blocking gameplay because it's in their interest that you cough up some cash in your regions version of the game.
The only way for people to get AC now from overseas is from Bit Cash resellers thanks to all the blocks, so I would not be surprised if foreign players get blocked from the JP version.
It could be to stop more RMT bots from being created, I have been online for the past hour and there are still plenty around. Probably a measure to try and stop the flow of bots and exploits.
