Minimum Mac specs
The following examples were published by ArenaNet: [1]
- iMac 21.5", 27" (Mid-2010 or Mid-2011)
- MacBook Pro 15", 17" (Mid-2010)
- MacBook Pro 13", 15", 17" (Early and Late-2011, Mid-2012)
- Mac Mini (Mid-2011)
Display
While perfectly playable on smaller displays, the "Small" Interface size appears to be designed for about 1400 pixels wide, and the "Normal" interface size for about 1550 pixels wide. On smaller displays than this, the Chat panel pops up out of alignment from the row with the skillbar and minimap. Resize it smaller from the upper right corner. However, at 1280 pixels wide, even with the interface size on small, the minimum width of the chat box does not fit in one row.
Installing the game
- Download the launcher from the official site.
- Place the launcher in the directory from where you want to store the game and run it.
- Start the launcher. It will perform any necessary downloads and patching before taking you to a log in screen.
- Log in with your Final Fantasy XIV account details. You can try the game as much as you want, but you're locked to level 35.
Notes
