    Heya!

    I think it will resolve the DirectX Alt-Tab issue, since it would use OpenGL, which is FAR more performant, basing from what I'm seeing around Youtube.

    Anyway, yeah, I'd like a Mac implementation of FFXIV (playing in an iMac 27" right now, BootCamp a go go), but I propose to perform this question after some years, when the game takes foot to the global MMO market, then we can talk about this topic more firmly =)

    Still, there's still hope that a member of the Dev. Team will tell us what they think about the future =)

    See ya!

    Were you saying OpenGL is better performing than DirectX?
