I'd be curious to know what sort of FPS you're getting in various environments and window/fullscreen resolutions as well as what graphics settings you're going with in XIV itself.

I'd also love to see the activity monitor graphs for processor load while playing, considering how many layers the game has to play through (32bit win directx9 client -> TransGaming/Wine wrapper -> Rosetta 2) to run on M1.

And of course, we all need to know if the bottom of the M1 MBP will sear the flesh off your legs if you play XIV with it on your lap, or if the M1 really does run as cold as reviewers have been saying.
