Mac client?

[Delmontyb]

I would love for there to be a native Mac client for this game, I think it will happen eventually, but I would also like to see the game on as many platforms as possible. Xbox One would be a great start. And while it might be hopeless, I got to try. http://www.change.org/petitions/micr...shared-servers

It will never be on Xbox One because MS will not allow it. They require all Xbox games to have their own separate servers walled off from other platforms. Obviously you can see how this might be a problem for an MMO. So blame MS for no FFXIV on Xbone, not SE. Alternatively you can blame yourself or God.

Also if FFXIV was on Xbone you would have to pay for Xbox Live Gold to pay for your FFXIV sub because literally everything online is paywalled behind Gold on Xbox. You can play games with separate subs for free on PSN.

ESO is already a bad game but it will be even worse on Xbone where you have to pay for Gold to pay for your ESO sub so you can be on servers which will be dead in a week because they are only for Xbone players, but PC and PS4 players will share servers and have a much higher population.

You shouldn't make things up to further your console bashing of, omg one is better then the other. PS4 is just as closed off as the Xbox One in ESO.

Q: Will PS4 users be on the same severs as PC users? — @Adzaofoz
A: PS4 users will have their own dedicated ESO megaservers (European and North American). PC and Mac users will not be on the PS4 megaservers. This is good news for PS4 players as they won’t have to worry about contending with higher-level PC players when ESO launches on PS4.

What's a MAC ?

From another Feb 20 2014 interview with Yoshi-P, this time on Famitsu's site, translation by Reinheart (as ever, it's greatly appreciated):

F: OK, how about releasing for the Mac version?

Y: For the OS itself it’s gaining popularity, as well as other MMO makers are starting to look into Mac version as well, so we also are talking with staffs about starting to look into this.

I'm really happy to see these articles address the issue directly. SE's presentation and these direct quotes from Yoshi-P came within days of the start of this thread.

bump, sort of. But really, I'm tired of seeing the silly windows people saying that macs are a waste of time, and yet we live in a world where we have different machines for different purposes and functions. It's just silly to keep feeding the fat hog food while the newborn needs more nourishment. Just saying...

No ancient magics please.

I don't think Mac's suck, but I do think that there is very little that's not downhill from here on out.
What with Jobs dying and all, it kinda feels like any "revolutionary" changes are impossible now.

Don't get me wrong!
Apple will still go for a long time and possibly even upgrade their products, but the "new, longer, thinner iphone" thing right after his death and whatnot, kinda cements some things for me.

Everyone has an opinion, this is mine.
