vmware has anyone tryed

The game will never run under VMWare, because in the virtual OS it uses an emulated graphics adapter which cannot run heavy 3d games.

If you want run ARR under Linux you should try Wine, it apparently worked very well on 1.00, so hopefully it will run well in ARR. Whist Wine is essentially an emulated environment unlike VMWare it recognizes and uses the hardware graphics adapter which allows it to run heavy 3d applications.

You didn't mention that you've actually tried this with the latest versions of Fusion/Workstation/etc which advertise better 3d support.

Here's someone who has (at least with Player): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yOEwqhniSE Granted, it's not FFXIV, but this at least shows that 3d gaming is possible.

I'm going to try this with Workstation 9 for fun in a couple months, but need to finish building the actual box first.

Lemme check what workstation 9 says downloading now.
