    Mac FFXIV client is embarrassingly bad, because SE went with Transgaming/WINE

    It really is disappointing that FFXIV doesn't work even as well as it works in Parallels.

    I don't play WoW, but I love how Diablo 3 works great out of the box on both Mac and Windows!!

    I wonder whether Transgaming pulled a fast one on Square Enix and then nobody at the mothership ever heard of WINE or actually tested it out to discover how embarrassingly awful the "product" actually is.

    p.s. Windows trolls and idiots: nothing to see here, move along. We get that it works in Windows, and that it also works fine on a Mac when you run Windows using Boot Camp. We might even own Windows PCs as well. We still like OS X and hardware like the MacBook Pro, and we would like a real version of FFXIV that actually works well, kind of like what Blizzard delivers for their games. Unfortunately the current FFXIV client is nowhere near SE's usual standards of quality or performance.
