    ARR/Heavensward for Mac

    Quick question:

    Will I need to buy a new copy of ARR as well as Heavensward when the Mac version is released?

    Yes this would fall under the same as needing to buy the Playstation/PC version to play on both, so yes you will need to buy XIV for mac if you wish to play on mac also but the base and heavensward is bundled together as one price.

    Hmmm. Hopefully there will be some kind of discount for current players.

    Unknown at this point. They could allow you to just download the Mac client and use your existing account. I don't know why anyone would want to use the Mac client though, considering it's not a native client, it's going to have limited performance compared to playing it through bootcamp.

    Also, it's not the same as the PlayStation/PC thing, considering Square can host the Mac client download themselves. For PlayStation you need to go through the PSN store because Sony wants it's share of the money.

    Under that logic wouldn't it be the same to say if person plays on Playstation they could just download the PC version and play with their current account cause SE can host it directly but it not, so it exactly the same as PC/PS setup.

    Wasn't the only Mac version that you'd be able to buy/pre-order the bundle version of ARR + HW to start with?

    Squenix could have allowed PS3/PS4 players to download the PC client and be able to play yes, but they didn't. They could also allow PC players to download the Mac client, but they might not. Sharing a Windows and Mac client is a LOT more common than sharing a PS3/PS4 client though.

    Yes, you can only buy a bundle for the Mac, the expansion will not be available separately. You will also not get any Early Access.

    Could we please get a clarification on this? If I as a PC user will be able to use the Mac client for travel without paying twice?
