Final Fantasy XIV's Mac version resumes sales February 23

Starting on February 23rd, Square Enix will resume sales of Final Fantasy XIV for the Mac platform. The original released alongside the Heavensward expansion last June and was fraught with problems, chalked up to a miscommunication of minimum system requirements.

Not long after, director and producer Naoki Yoshida made the call to pull the Mac version and offered an apology and lengthy explanation into what happened. He announced those who purchased this version would be entitled to a refund in full. Since then, the team has conducted testing on a wider amount of configurations.

Fast forward to last Saturday’s Letter from the Producer Live broadcast where Yoshida announced the resumption of sales of the Mac client. The community team has since posted the new minimum system requirements, which you can read on the Lodestone here.

If you purchased the Mac client in the past and have not requested a refund, you have until February 21st to do so. Fill out this form at Square Enix’s official support site to proceed.

February 23rd is also the release date for Heavensward’s second post-release content patch entitled The Gears of Change. This update will see the continuation of the Heavensward story, a new raid tier of Alexander called Midas, a trial featuring the Warring Triad’s Sephirot, a new PvP mode called The Feast, new dungeons, a Mentor system, and much more.
