Final Fantasy 14 Connection Issues

The MMO Final Fantasy 14 recently had the early access and official launch of the Stormblood expansion. Users experienced a number of issues at launch that prevented users from playing the new content.It was initially believed that the issues were purely caused by the servers being unable to handle the sheer amount of people playing the game. Now Square Enix has that a third party is launching a DDoS attack on the servers in the NA data center.
Furthermore these attacks have been happening since the early access launch on June 16th and have continued since.Square Enix had this to say to fans: “Our technical staff is continuing to work on countermeasures for this issue. However, with the attack we are currently experiencing, only a massive number of access attempts are being made, so character data and personal information registered to our customers’ accounts are not in danger of being exposed. We apologise for any inconvenience this may be causing.”.
I haven't had a weekend off from work in a couple months and now that I finally do, PSN is being shitty. Is anyone else having issues with this? My internet on my computer is working fine, but both my sister and I can't play, so I'm sure it is PSN. I see there is a PSN maintenance scheduled for the 17th. Hopefully it fixes my issues.
