Mac Client

[Avenger]

I'm looking at the fact that I'm potentially going to have spent £240 on this expansion by the time all is said and done, £80 of that is is for the ability to multi box with my mac..

Maybe wait for a sale on Steam or something. I snapped up an upgradable PS3 version for $10 when it was on sale on PSN.

It seems that Lexia is saying that even if you are playing on another platform and have the client installed (e.g. downloaded for free trial) you still have to buy an unlock code. I can't verify this but I do seem to have unlock codes for three platforms registered on Mog Station, so maybe FFXIV doesn't allow subscribers to log in unless they have the unlock code for the platform they're using.

Incidentally, why are you paying £80 for the OS X download version? I see it listed for 44,99 € in the Euro store.

(Note: I already play FFXIV on my Mac but I'm looking forward to not having to boot Windows to do it!!)

One thing that's clear however is that the CE bonuses apply to your *account*, so you only need one CE (inc. digital version.)

Two accounts

£130 for a boxed CE and £40 for the mac client for my main
£30 for a regular expac+£40 for the mac client for the alt.

And yeah, whilst I've had to stump up the RRP for the CE, I'll be holding off on the rest as they will no doubt be dramatically cheaper elsewhere.
