(Clearly this won't happen until Apple decide to run MacOS on the iPad or Codeweavers get wine running on iPadOS, but that's different to the entitlement around saying "nope" to someone with just a meme. I find that overly rude.)

I know I wouldn't get overly sensitive or passive aggressive about it.

I wouldn’t care of FFXIV hit iPads but I would wait until they are available with hardware options a good few tiers higher than current min Mac OS specs. The more wiggle room the devs have out the gate, the better.

But, I still want them to follow through on the promised Xbox console version that we can guarantee will have the hardware for whatever new things they come up with next.

Basically, I don’t want the devs to have to drop more client options as swiftly as they had to for PS3. Apple’s design philosophy to buck PC’s module upgrades or gaming consoles years of relevance is my concern with this kind of port.

This will never happen, for various reasons. None of those reasons have anything to do with the iPad hardware. I doubt very much we will see full convergence between macOS and iPadOS as Apple seems to veery much keep these revenue streams separate. In addition the already brought up App Store issues with payment processing. The ball is 100% in Apples court and I doubt XIV is even a blip on their radar. Would be seriously cool though.
