Cool! To get the DS4 synced, open Bluetooth by going to Settings > Bluetooth. On the DS4, press and hold the PS button + Share button (left). it will start blinking, and on the Mac you'll see "wireless controller." Sync them and you're good. Now, in the game, select controller option from character settings, then from system settings, select controller and then calibrate, and just follow your nose!

I'm very interested in playing this on OSX. I've heard horrible reviews on the Square Enix forums. Do you think my iMac's specs will work? I feel like they will, but I don't want to make the purchase to find out it will be lower quality than on bootcamp

My iMac Specs:

• 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz
• 12GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2 x 4GB and 2 x 2GB
• 3TB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5

  So it has been my experience, so far, that the main town "the Foundation" is the reason for all the horrible reviews. its the snow dropping which is very GPU taxing, so folks log in, get some lag with 100000000000 ppl around + snow lag, and call it crap.... You can see from this video that the iMac 5k /w 295X can do just fine in a 8 man trail.

Hmmm could you give some details on FPS in a variety of areas? I know reddit/forums exploded at the poor performance of the osx client, but this appears to be running well? I play bootcamped, but I'd really love the efficiency of playing in OSX

  +Spencer Brown-Pearn It is terrible, i removed bootcamp from my computer, because i honestly thought that it would run smoothly, but i was wrong. The game is unplayable on OS X, well, for the macbook pro at least. I have a 2013 macbook pro, and it is still unplayable. it sucks 🙁

  reddit is blown up with folks with 2-4 y/o MacBooks with integrated GPUs who thought the game would play well... FFXIV is a somewhat modern 3D game; now a 10+ y/o game like WoW you would play on an iPad. You need a decent GPU, and Mac does not sell many models with one. It runs very well on the iMac with upgraded GPU. It also runs well on the MacBook 15 /w AMD m370X GPU. Other than that, outside of the Mac Pro, this game will not run.

  +Cord 01111 I have played FFXIV on my macbook pro since the release of 2.0, i played 1.0 on a windows computer though. My computer has always run FFXIV smoothly on bootcamp, but when i bought the mac version of the game, everything just went south :(.

  +Cord 01111 Yeah. Ultimately I wish they'd offer a free trial download so I could test for myself without committing $60 to it...I've got a late 2012 iMac with an nvidia geforce GTX 680mx. I run fine in bootcamp (50-60 FPS on High), but I'm still weary as I've heard stories of people going from that range in bootcamp to 15-25 FPS on low in OS X...

  +Spencer Brown-Pearn yeah, I am honestly surprised Square-Enix advertised the Mac version, if it was going to be this bad. It plays so well on bootcamp, but once i use the mac platform, i can't even see the ground when i log in...

I have a macbook pro(2013) and the game is completely unplayable on my computer...been playing this game since 1.0, and i took bootcamp off my computer so that i could have more space, but this is just ridiculous. The screen goes black every 2 minutes...i want a damn refund....

I know that Mac rules, but it sucks at playing videogames. Just build a low-mid range pc and you can run FFXIV very well, or get a PS4.

I did not know imacs came with such powerful cards and CPUs.
Did you upgrade this yourself?

This must have cost an arm and a leg. While you could build a similar PC for a 10th of the price you could still not enjoy the mac osx experience, a true shame.

It's too bad. This "port" becomes more unusable every patch, it's past the tipping point now and is pointless to own.
