The first M1 was meh in running FFXIV. But now we have Pro, Max and Ultra which is very capable.

Also in the past 1.5 years, they've been fully concentrated on Endwalker.

I was just hoping that if they're looking for new players/platform or more possibility of current players to play on the run/go. I believe if they do consider mobile gaming platform, building the Native version for macOS on its Metal API would almost as easily as switching a switch to go to other iOS, iPadOS or tvOS.

As technology progresses, and if they're in for the long run like they said in their Live Letter, then perhaps they could consider the native macOS client as a stepping stone to ARM based platforms
I’m looking forward to that Ultra. I use an M1 mini for photo and video productivity. Fantastic little machine that is silent and powerful. I use a PC for gaming, but toyed around with native M1 WoW. Ran really well. I imagine the Ultra will shred WoW if it properly allocates all video cores. I imagine the fused cores may be wonky to support like the early Zen architecture.
