Thread: Macos Monterey 12.3 - Python removed, FFIXV will not run

On the Japanese forums there isn't much chatter about it, but it's there. One person unable to get it working on 11.6 Big Sur and how to revert to Monterey, and a few posts in that thread about the python EOL removal.

One person put up a link to https://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes.../blog/4980625/ which is the "download a python 2.7 tarball and try to ram it into your computer" type post. Of course, that is a messy way to do it and urgh, they don't really go into all the modifications that are needed, so people will end up destroying their computers. Although she does mention xivonmac as well in the comments.

I hope that SE can provide what we paid for. It's really not acceptable to make people stay on insecure unpatched operating systems, especially when the support was supposed to be there by the end of December latest.... then it's just dropped into a pit of silence.

We shouldn't need to use third party tools to play the game we purchased.
