Linux Version of FFXIV

[Thorium]

Considering the mac version is also wine based(last I heard) what do you think an offcical port would look like? Probably same with wine only the commercial transgaming version(same as mac). I wouldn't mind it on Linux since only OS that I use along with various BSDs but I play on the PS4 so for me it wouldn't matter.

Your saying the Mac version isnt really a port and that it's basicly like a dosbox program but using wine? I had no idea i thought it was a real port.

Yeah sadly.

Well wine is not like dosbox. It's meant to be more of a compatibility layer that replaces some calls with some others. And there is a commercial version of it that gets used for certain game ports with support and such. But in the end it's still an extra layer. You can find the info easily. Maybe it will eventually change but that's the last info I know about it.
