Sorry if this is an old thread but i just finished installling ffxiv on my M1 macbook pro and it runs very smoothly!! Far better than expected with the Rosetta2 x86 emulation. I can play FFxiv on the go tethered to my phone. The worst part was patching on the client is woeful and required a vpn (which i didnt need before on my pc client). Although I only played capped at 30 fps with the macbook only feeling slightly warm after about a couple hours of play. Still for an on board chip thats pretty crazy with my lowww expectations.

Makes me wonder what it would be like optimised for M1...although im fairly sure SE may not bother for a while.
