This app will contain everything necessary to get you back in Eorzea as quickly as possible - from a custom build of DXVK to reduce stutter and the latest version of MoltenVK with optimisations for Apple M1. No CrossOver needed.

Since we are now in charge of shipping the Wine runtime, this also paves the way for even more optimisations in the future.“

I hope this fixes your issues as it did mine and allows all of us Apple Silicon players to enjoy the game.
If it would be an upgraded WINE or DXVK thing alone then it would be not a problem. But they have also support for ACT, Dalamund plugin and the famous XIV Launcher. This tools clearly violate the terms of service.
