We apologize any inconvenience you have experienced when playing Final Fantasy XIV on Mac. At this time, this problem is still ongoing as we are addressing the issue for supporting Mac models utilizing the Apple Silicon chipset (such as M1). Additionally for future updates regarding specific macOS support, you may review the Lodestone post regarding macOS Monterey here. We appreciate your patience and understanding regarding this matter.

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support forums!
It's May. 5 months later. The only way to play the game is through 3rd party means. Square gave up on Mac. Period.
