Thanks for the response. A few nitpicks, while Macs are primarily for office and pictures, they're also good for software development, creating and editing various forms of media (music, movies, digital animations), running complex calculations for science and mathematics (aka data science or big data), and high end design work in packages like CAD. Also, I'm not so sure I'd recommend Windows 7, considering Windows 8.1 and the upcoming Windows 10 have had no issues with running games.

Furthermore, your response isn't even relevant to the conversation. Regardless of "what Macs are primarily for", SE advertises FFXIV as being playable on OSX and sells a client in the store. I think it's not unreasonable to expect that said offering delivers a satisfactory experience.
