Mac client?

[Bossycow]

I was thinking about this when FF14 got put up on Steam. Here are some other really old threads with requests to having a Mac client (figure it's better than doing a necro bump).

Currently I dual-boot my Macbook Pro, so that I'm not limited to Windows only programs like this one. It would be very nice (and expand the market) if there was some native support for Mac.

I can probably guess the answer already, but now with some time passed, is there any plans in the near future to create a native Mac client? My gut tells me that there isn't any, but it would be awesome to hear that some thought has been put into it. I know there's the work to get PS4 support, and DX11, so even if it's a "maybe by next expansion," would be pleasant news to me.

I'm posting this in General for more viewer eyes, and maybe additional discussion. Thank you!

It runs beautifully via bootcamp windows 8.1 on my iMac.

As I mentioned here, I also dual-boot my mac so that I can run programs like this one. It would be great to not have to use workarounds like this, and have some knowledge of possibly extending support for a native client. I know this option is not available for everyone for various reasons (not owning a Windows license, resources, etc.), and also a native client can be better optimized for the system.
