Mac Help Please :)Follow

#1 Oct 04 2010 at 4:17 PM Rating: Decent
Hello!

I was just wondering if anyone has successfully installed Final Fantasy XIV through Boot Camp, and if so, please give suggestions/assistance to how to make it best work. All I've seen so far is turning graphics all the way down, some say it doesn't work if you try to use it with Vista, yadda yadda. Please help :)

Boot Camp basically just assists you in dual booting Windows with OS X. The hardware is nearly all the same stuff you could find in a Dell/HP/whatever anyway, the only big difference is the lack of a BIOS in favor of EFI.
Boot Camp can be fussy about 64-bit versions of OSes on certain Mac models, as Apple only supports 32-bit versions on a fair number of models (which is not to say you can't get them to work...it's just trickier), but generally is pretty simple.

The bigger question when it comes to that is what model of Mac you have, and in turn, what specs. A Macbook with Intel GMA graphics won't be able to run FFXIV, same as any other PC with Intel GMA graphics will be unable to, that sort of thing.
