Mac client needs to be reborn..? :(

[Avenger]

I just started the Mac FFXIV client up, and in the game start screen when I scrolled between "Configuration" and "Exit" I noticed large red text that would momentarily flash in the middle of the screen. The text read:

ß Version ß Version ß Version


Perhaps this explains why it's not quite ready to be played.

I think it would make sense to declare the current Mac client an open Beta version and to stop selling it until performance issues and bugs have been addressed.

This is really the most groan-worthy part. It was clearly not ready to go, much less be paid for.

I think the best move is to offer it for free alongside a PC License as a beta. I hardly think anyone would object to that.
