FFXIV for Mac

Not to jack your thread... so if you like I'll delete this post, but also what about some type of portable OS content...
Bazaar or retainer management from the Iphone would be cool

They announced that we would be able to manage our Chocobos from an upcoming app. I forgot the exact quote, but it had something to do with breeding.

This game can run on low-medium setting on a Macbook-Pro by Duel booting into a Windows 7/XP. i recommend XP for Bootcamping anyway Windows Vista/Windows 7 have a Control issue with anything installed on the same HDD.

PS: the Mac died the second they stopped rolling out with the G Series Processors, all you get now is a standard subpar quality IBM compatible PC with Control Chips that force you to buy outrageously priced upgrades.

I run the game on a top-of-the-line iMac in Bootcamp. It runs as well as it would on some other brand's hardware. Perhaps better, as Apple puts some pretty decent hardware in their machines, at least in my experience.

I would really like to play in OS X, though. I hate having to reboot so often, and I can't multitask while playing, as all of my work is on the OS X side.

Also, for what it's worth, I run WoW on the highest possible settings in OS X, and the game runs amazingly well. This iMac is a beast of a machine, I'll tell you what.

Say what you will, but my Macs -always- outlast my PCs. Whatever the PC manufacturers use, it's obviously worse, or has been in the machines and parts I have purchased in the past.

Because they are not the exact same parts?
Because every single component in your mac can be used to make a PC.. and since you paid to put windows on yours... the only difference between what you have now and what you'd have if you built a PC is price...

Why, thank you! I am quite happy with my acquisition. It's really nice having money to throw around. Don't be so jelly!

Mac... PC...
Use whatever you are best fit with. I use Mac so I can test things in both OS X and Windows environments when I develope things. One thing is for sure.
Mac = Work, Graphics | Windows = Games

Of course both environments can be used for both things, but from personal experience games run better on Windows (if they are Windows only) and working is more fluid and safe in a Mac OS X.
I personally have an iMac 27" with a Windows Bootcamp when I wanna play some FFXIV.
