Graphically its got some amazing games on it, and it has enough memory to support it. Again you have to look at it as a portable way to game. Tablet, with keyboard, plus xbox controller, = great portable FFXIV experience. The surface pros are using terrible graphics cards, with intel processors. So, its not a hardware issue at this point. The iPad of 2015 is not the iPad in discussion, its the iPad of 2021 which is sufficient for FFXIV. Case and point, its already on the mac using identical hardware.
The surface has better compatibility being windows and x86. I know parallels released a update to create VM and run windows but that means the 8gb is gonna be to limited, and still arm.
