Any Update on FFXIV Compatibility for ARM (M1) Macs?

First you need users for that. If there were more customers who played games on Mac then the games would be already released on Mac. Only big big titles hit Mac or Linux.
Even GW2 dropped Mac support and offered refunds for people

The game is released on Mac OS; it requires license purchase separate from PC/PS4 versions. It’s just currently not supported on the new Apple M1 CPU.

It's supported and running on the M1, under Rosetta 2. It runs surprisingly well for a laptop that sips power.

I know it runs on Mac M1 machines; I have tried running it on my M1 mini soon after I got the machine (I have Mac starter license). I just thought it has not yet been officially supported even after the announcement of Big Sur support.

Now that I looked at the Mac requirements page and I’ve found out where my confusion came from. On the English version it merely stated “ iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) or higher”, but on the Japanese version there’s an added footnote “ ※「Apple Silicon」搭載モデルには対応しておりません。”, which roughly translates to “Models equipped with Apple Silicon are not supported”.

So which is it, Square-Enix? =_=

Oh Yes! I hadn't though of looking at https://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/system_requirements, but I see what you mean.
