FFXIV ARR on Macintosh

[Monsalvato]

Anybody running ARR on Mac?
Does it run better on Parallels or Bootcamp?
I'd love to hear your experiences and detailed comparisons.

Since I can't get parallels to show the true video card specs to any given game, I just use bootcamp for FFXIV. It sure does look sweet at 2560 x 1440 with ultimate settings. The imac's reitna display is breathtaking with this game.

If you use windows 8, the initial launch of ffxiv will require it to be ran as admin to even launch. after that no special privileges are required.

Ooooh official Mac Client! Nice ^^

I'm playing on my Mac through bootcamped windows 8 and it runs beautifully. ^.^

Hi Starla,

Just a few questions, if I may...

Realm Reborn is currently on PS-3, but it would be nice to have it on a Mac as well.

-- If it's on both the PS3 and a Mac, will the game status remain the same on both? Can I pick up where I left off on one or the other?

-- Here's what I'm macking with: Mac Pro 2.8GHZ, Quad Core, 20 Gigs core ram, System Mountain Lion.

-- Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX285, with an extra cooling fan

I can put Realm Reborn on a separate bootup drive (booting into bootcamp), and can make it a Mercury Electra SSD Drive.

Will all this suffice?

Will Realm Reborn run on a Macbook Air (4 gigs RAM)?

And finally, Will Realm Reborn run on Windoze XP? If not, what is the minimum Windoze system required?

Thanks much!!!!!
