I just bought a 2020 MacBook Pro 13' and am having trouble launching FFXIV. When I click 'play' the screen goes to black and nothing loads. I've heard conflicting reports about if the game even runs on Catalina, but am hopeful since I just dropped 20$ on this game.

First time playing FINAL FANTASY XIV? Don't worry! This section will explain the basics of setting up an account, creating a character, and getting your adventure started. The game is currently localized into English, French, German, and Japanese so we hope this quick overview will help you start playing now! Let's go!

1. FFXIV on Mac OS: The solution is downgrading your Mac! Good evening y'all, Right after I purchased yesterday the Complete Edition voor Mac OS I tried to install the software so many times.
2. Aug 31, 2020 Final Fantasy 14 had a rough start, especially on Mac. The base game was flawed in so many ways, even Square Enix worried it could be “the end of Final Fantasy”. And to make matters worse, FFXIV’s Mac performance was so poor at launch, Square Enix officially apologized, suspended sales, and offered refunds.
