■Warning for Users Who Started Up FFXIV Before Service Began
We have confirmed an issue wherein unintended files were created if you started up the Mac version of FINAL FANTASY XIV before Jun. 23, 2015 12:00 a.m. (PDT).
To resolve this issue, please delete the files located in ~/Library/Application Support/FINAL FANTASY XIV/
■IME (input method editor) Support
The Mac version of FINAL FANTASY XIV supports the OS’s default IME to input special text characters.
Please note that any other IMEs may cause text input to not function properly.
We are currently focusing on finding ways to display IME mode changes while in fullscreen mode. Further information on this will be provided as it becomes available.

Users can back up their game settings from the Windows version and transfer them to the Mac version.
