    There's plenty of how-tos on the Wine AppDB on how to get FFXIV working. (It still won't work quite as on Windows. Dual-booting for games is still the best option).

    That's the trouble. I have seen people getting it to run through wine on Ubuntu but its all that messing about with Winetricks and what have you. Me and Wine don't mix. (Not talking about the drink either ) :P
