I’m about to buy a new computer and I’m curious about the performance of Final Fantasy XIV on the 2022 MacBook Air with the M2 chip. Has anyone had experience with this?
1 Answer
I had a MacBook Air with the M2 chip (8GB RAM). Before the Dawntrail update, it ran decently, though I did experience occasional lag spikes. After the update, the performance tanked, dropping to under 15 FPS, making it basically unplayable for me. I ended up switching to a PS5, which performs way better for FFXIV. Personally, I wouldn’t recommend playing on a Mac, especially the M2 Air; if you can, go for something else.
