Step 1 Install Xcode from the Mac App Store -It's free
Step 2 Install XQuartz - get from xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.7.0.dmg - Once installed run this code from terminal:
defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 SUFeedURL static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/sparkle/beta.xml
- Open quartz and hopefully it'll ask you to update to the newest (XQuartz 2.7.1_rc1) -If not, just click check for updates -update -Logout and log back into OSX
Step 3 Install Mac Ports -Get from distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.0.3-10.7-Lion.dmg -Open the dmg and double-click the package and run through the steps on the installer
Step 4 Install Wine - Open the terminal and su into your account with administrative privileges(not root):
su $your_priviledged_account_name
-then enter your password - now, type:
port search wine
you will see a few entries here(6 as of 1/8/2012) - You are going to install wine-devel and winetricks.
type:
sudo port install wine-devel
- This will generally take a very long time. It took me about two hours to install all the dependencies.
now type:
sudo port install winetricks
- this only takes a few minutes
- now exit out of your su
Step 5 Setup Wine to accept FFXIV - in terminal type this command:
winecfg
- this will set up your directories to accept the install - Once it's done you will see your first Microsoft looking window. You don't need to change anything in here. Just click "OK" - Now, to avoid lockups and such, every time you close an X11 window, cmd-Q X11 and Terminal. - I do this every time. Wine tends to take over your terminal when you run it, and it doesn't always reset it when you close your windows program.
-reopen terminal and type:
winetricks
-Make sure "Select the default wine prefix" is selected and click OK. -Click "Install a Windows DLL or component" and click OK -Check the box next to "IE8" and "winhttp" ---> These are the only two you need to install via wine tricks. -Click OK - Wine will now run in terminal installing the programs. You will see the installer for IE8 come up. Click through it, don't worry about installing updates as it doesn't seem to work anyways. When the install is done, your window will close for a bit..don't freak out like I did and start closing stuff. I think it took about 15-20 seconds. Internet explorer will open up and navigate to a webpage to show that you have internet through Wine. -Close Internet Explorer and cmd-Q out of X11 and terminal.
Step 6 Installing FFXIV -Open terminal and navigate to the directory of your install file on your disk. -easy way is type cd "space" then click and drag your disk image from your desktop into terminal, then press enter - now type the following command:
wine ffxivsetup
Install Directx using your cd. Not winetricks it will ask you if you want to install directs. Select yes and install it. When it's done, the box should close and the ffxiv installer won't come up. -cmd-Q out of X11 and Terminal again. -Navigate back to your install directory and run the wine ffxivsetup again. -Now ffxiv will install. Just click through the install and don't change anything. -Once everything is done, I don't remember if the game automatically loads or not, but I know it glitches out the first several times you try to load it, but don't worry, keep trying.
Step 7 Updating FFXIV -Navigate to your installed FFXIV directory. For me its: ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/SquareEnix/Final\ Fantasy\ XIV/ffxivboot.exe Type:
wine ffxivboot.exe
-Once I got it to load the updater downloaded the needed files pretty fast so I didn't worry about using another torrent client to do it, as it's glitchy enough loading to try to close and throw files in the directories and reopen it. -When all of your updates get installed(an hour or so), close your windows and cmd-Q everything. -now open terminal, navigate to your application directory and type:
wine ffxivconfig.exe
-this is a little tricky, select language, click OK and click Yes when it asks you to save your settings. -don't worry about cmd-Q here. Only do this exactly as written because it can crash at this point. Open ffxivconfig again, click only on the "Font Settings" tab, click the box next to "Use Windows system font", select a font, Arial worked the first time for me, so I assume that's safe. Click ok, and save. -reopen ffxivconfig, you can adjust your video settings here. Keep in mind that "General Drawing Quality" and "Background Drawing Quality", affect whether or not your character is invisible in-game. My settings are GDQ=5 and BDQ=2 and it works perfectly. Window size is 1280x720. - In graphics I have "Ambient Occlusion", "Depth of Field", and "Disable cutscene effects" all unchecked. "Enable hardware mouse cursor" is checked==> This is a must. TQ is standard and TF is low. -Click OK and Save. -cmd-Q your programs.
Step 8 Run FFXIV ------- Now the point that we've put all this work to get to------- -open terminal, navigate to your FFXIV directory, and type: wine ffxivboot.exe
Enjoy Your Game on OSX!!!!!
Optional Step 9 If you want to make separate executables for your programs, open apple script editor, type in this code, and save as an application:
tell application "Terminal" do script "/opt/local/bin/wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\\ Files/SQUAREENIX/Final\\ Fantasy\\ XIV/ffxivboot.exe" end tell
if you want one for config too, just change ffxivboot.exe to ffxivconfig.exe and save as an application to another file.
I found these all very helpful: xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X11-UsersFAQ for confusing the heck out of me www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/ for showing me how to make executables for loading ffxivconfig and ffxivboot www.macports.org/install.php - Walkthrough for installing macports appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=21478 - Craig - for getting me past the ffxivconfig crashing; Daniel Bethe - for the tip on installing xquartz.

A few differences between the guide above are that I'm using XQuartz 2.7.2, and I could not get the game to load using a Windows system font - I had to use the game's font.
Initially, I had invisible characters, but that was remedied with a few reloads. It still occurs occasionally, but maybe 1/10 loads. Here are my settings in FFXIV Config. If anything isn't listed, it's because it was left default.
Video:
Windowed 1920x1080
General Draw Quality: 7
Background Draw Quality: 3
Graphics:
[ ] Ambient Occlusion
[ ] Depth of Field
[ ] Disable cutscene effects
[x]Enable hardware mouse cursor
Texture Quality: Standard
Texture Filtering: Standard
I have had the game crash during cutscenes, or rather, when trying to load the world following a cutscene a fair number of times. I am going to try disabling cutscene effects and see if that helps.
I'm also crashing at random times, I'll try to gather a debug log later. I suspect it's memory related.
Also, in bash, I notice even with occlusion off, I receive a constant string of messages:
fixme:d3d:wined3d_occlusion_query_ops_get_data 0xnnnnnnnn Wrong thread, returning 1
Occasionally:
fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8
Not sure if these are issues or not.

I'm thinking the ability to re-play cutscenes at the 'mog house' would be convenient for this, or have you tried that and it only happens while 'outside in the actual world'? It is definitely interesting that it would usually crash after a cutscene, but I personally do not remember that happening to me.
While I'm not having crashes, I had quite poor performance, but with certain tweaks, I could get it running rather well (I wrote about this somewhere below). It's still definitely performing lots worse than it does under windoze for me.
As for 2.0, I'm actually thinking it will be a good thing for us friends of Wine, as it should to my understanding be a large improvement even for windows users. But only time can tell, I guess!
For the time being, I can't even try the game since the time I paid for has ended, which hinders things a lot for me as I haven't been actively playing XIV, so I will not be paying for it for the time being.
by Mike Masterson on Monday July 30th 2012, 0:36
If I remember correctly, I barely used any regedit tweaks when installing it to get it playable. I did specify my card in regedit and force glsl, but none of those seem to have an effect on anything, so I may delete them and see if the errors in the logs change next time it crashes. I'll also try that orm=fbo tweak you listed and enabling ambient occlusion to see if any of those affect it.
by Mike Masterson on Monday July 30th 2012, 12:39
I've also been playing cutscene after cutscene in the inn, and have been unable to reproduce a crash. I've gone ahead and submitted a bug since each crash gives the same error.

The 2.0 client gives me pause though. Even though it will be a while before it comes out, I wonder if the transition will go smoothly for wine users.

Normally, I have been seeing that scenario most of the time, but it would successfully start the game once in about five tries. I've tried about 10 or 20 times, yesterday and today, to no avail.
Is anyone else getting this? Thanks.

Step 1
Install Xcode from the Mac App Store
-It's free
Step 2
Install XQuartz
- get from xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.7.0.dmg
- Once installed run this code from terminal:
defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 SUFeedURL static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/sparkle/beta.xml
- Open quartz and hopefully it'll ask you to update to the newest (XQuartz 2.7.1_rc1)
-If not, just click check for updates
-update
-Logout and log back into OSX
Step 3
Install Mac Ports
-Get from distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.0.3-10.7-Lion.dmg
-Open the dmg and double-click the package and run through the steps on the installer
Step 4
Install Wine
- Open the terminal and su into your account with administrative privileges(not root):
su $your_priviledged_account_name
-then enter your password
- now, type:
port search wine
you will see a few entries here(6 as of 1/8/2012) - You are going to install wine-devel and winetricks.
type:
sudo port install wine-devel
- This will generally take a very long time. It took me about two hours to install all the dependencies.
now type:
sudo port install winetricks
- this only takes a few minutes
- now exit out of your su
Step 5

- I do this every time. Wine tends to take over your terminal when you run it, and it doesn't always reset it when you close your windows program.
-reopen terminal and type:
winetricks
-Make sure "Select the default wine prefix" is selected and click OK.
-Click "Install a Windows DLL or component" and click OK
-Check the box next to "IE8" and "winhttp" ---> These are the only two you need to install via wine tricks.
-Click OK - Wine will now run in terminal installing the programs. You will see the installer for IE8 come up. Click through it, don't worry about installing updates as it doesn't seem to work anyways. When the install is done, your window will close for a bit..don't freak out like I did and start closing stuff. I think it took about 15-20 seconds. Internet explorer will open up and navigate to a webpage to show that you have internet through Wine.
-Close Internet Explorer and cmd-Q out of X11 and terminal.
Step 6
Installing FFXIV
-Open terminal and navigate to the directory of your install file on your disk.
-easy way is type cd "space" then click and drag your disk image from your desktop into terminal, then press enter
- now type the following command:
wine ffxivsetup
Install Directx using your cd. Not winetricks
it will ask you if you want to install directs. Select yes and install it. When it's done, the box should close and the ffxiv installer won't come up.
-cmd-Q out of X11 and Terminal again.
-Navigate back to your install directory and run the wine ffxivsetup again.
-Now ffxiv will install. Just click through the install and don't change anything.
-Once everything is done, I don't remember if the game automatically loads or not, but I know it glitches out the first several times you try to load it, but don't worry, keep trying.
Step 7
Updating FFXIV
-Navigate to your installed FFXIV directory. For me its:
~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/SquareEnix/Final\ Fantasy\ XIV/ffxivboot.exe
Type:
wine ffxivboot.exe
-Once I got it to load the updater downloaded the needed files pretty fast so I didn't worry about using another torrent client to do it, as it's glitchy enough loading to try to close and throw files in the directories and reopen it.
-When all of your updates get installed(an hour or so), close your windows and cmd-Q everything.
-now open terminal, navigate to your application directory and type:
wine ffxivconfig.exe
-this is a little tricky, select language, click OK and click Yes when it asks you to save your settings.
-don't worry about cmd-Q here. Only do this exactly as written because it can crash at this point. Open ffxivconfig again, click only on the "Font Settings" tab, click the box next to "Use Windows system font", select a font, Arial worked the first time for me, so I assume that's safe. Click ok, and save.
-reopen ffxivconfig, you can adjust your video settings here. Keep in mind that "General Drawing Quality" and "Background Drawing Quality", affect whether or not your character is invisible in-game. My settings are GDQ=5 and BDQ=2 and it works perfectly. Window size is 1280x720.
- In graphics I have "Ambient Occlusion", "Depth of Field", and "Disable cutscene effects" all unchecked. "Enable hardware mouse cursor" is checked==> This is a must. TQ is standard and TF is low.
-Click OK and Save.
-cmd-Q your programs.
Step 8
Run FFXIV
------- Now the point that we've put all this work to get to-------
-open terminal, navigate to your FFXIV directory, and type:
wine ffxivboot.exe
Enjoy Your Game on OSX!!!!!
Optional Step 9
If you want to make separate executables for your programs, open apple script editor, type in this code, and save as an application:
tell application "Terminal"
do script "/opt/local/bin/wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\\ Files/SQUAREENIX/Final\\ Fantasy\\ XIV/ffxivboot.exe"
end tell
if you want one for config too, just change ffxivboot.exe to ffxivconfig.exe and save as an application to another file.
I found these all very helpful:

I'm running FFXIV for about a week, without any showstopping problems, on wine 1.3.34, 1.3.35, and now 1.3.36, in Mac OS 10.7.2. It's awesome.
I have problems with having an invisible avatar or a black screen when I select certain graphics configurations (quality settings or resolutions). But I found settings that work; I think the defaults work ok.
Those settings are fairly high for my hardware. I have a 2.66GHz i7 920 cpu which is not very highly loaded, but my 9800GT 1GB seems to be the bottleneck. It's kinda choppy at 1920x1080 with medium settings. So I wanted to lower the resolution while having wine scale it up to a large screen. My monitor is 2048x1152. But 1920x1080 is the only 16:9 aspect resolution that ffxivconfig will provide in fullscreen mode, for some bizarre reason. All the rest of them are 4:3, like 1280x1024. In windowed mode, I get a lot more normal resolutions such as 1280x720.
So, how can I have a lower resolution like 1280x720 but scale it up to a larger window? I don't want it to physically fill the screen; I still want it in a window so that I can have a little bit of display beside it. But if I can scale it up to a 1920x1080, that'd be ideal.
Do I have to lower my desktop resolution to suit the FFXIV window?
Thanks!

Just try and try and try again! Sometimes 2 to 5 times. Sometimes you have to issue 'wineserver -k' to completely kill the wine session, which is akin to powercycling a stuck Windows system but without all the filesystem corruption ;)
I don't know if this happens with more apps, because the only apps I use wine for are FFXI and FFXIV.

Go to xquartz.macosforge.org/ and get 2.7.0. Then do this command:
defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 SUFeedURL static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/sparkle/beta.xml
Then restart /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz and it'll now acquire development upgrades. You might have to go to the Preferences window to acquire it.
The primary bottleneck is Apple's inferior implementation of OpenGL and video drivers. I might throw hardware at it, by buying a new video card to replace my old 9800GT which is playable at 'standard' settings at 1920x1080.
Last night, I lost the ability to properly see any avatars. All players' avatars had no hair, and only had their heads and arms and feet, basically. All mob avatars were totally invisible. Then today, I click 'play' and the login window disappears and nothing happens. Just a blank wine desktop. The above process fixed it, although it was probably just from deleting the preferences.
I had seen the avatar problem in the past weeks, but only if I selected certain combinations of graphics quality settings. I finally found a combination that yielded the ability to see everything. ;-)

install went fine:
winetricks - enabled winhttp and ie8
install from dvd
it installed directx (i tried winetricks for this but it still wanted to install)
ran ffxiv config and set to english
ran ffxiv, patcher window appear, and ffxiv updater window appeared but didn’t move
went to the wine icon and hit quit, the update and patch window died and restarted
i waited for the game to patch
patches downloaded just like windows
patches installed
login page came up and i was able to login and create a character and play.
gamepad does not work correctly
i can map all but the analog joysticks. the gamepad works fine in ffxi but not ffxiv. any tricks?

I'm running Arch Linux and had this issue. I've made a little bit of progress on it. Essentially since I'm a 64bit user, and I needed IE6 to work I had to setup wine to work in 32bit mode.
To do that, I ran this directly after wine install:
WINEARCH="win32" winecfg
After that, installing ie6 from winetricks works fine. I can launch it via wine and browse websites. What doesn't work, is the FFXIV login page. Instead of the white page, I now get IE6's "This page cannot be displayed."
In my console, what jumps out at me is this:
fixme:ras:RasEnumConnectionsA (0x630607a8,0x12ae82c,0x6305f610),stub!
fixme:ras:RasEnumConnectionsA RAS support is not implemented! Configure program to use LAN connection/winsock instead!
So I think that's the last hurdle to jump through, figuring out what this is about... I'm using winhttp and wininet with native overrides.

Another error that displays is this:
GnuTLS error: A TLS fatal alert has been received.
I have lib32-gnutls installed, so I don't think that's the issue, but I've confirmed that IE6 is unable to reach any secure pages (). I tried going to a few and had no luck. I also used Wireshark to capture where the ffxiv login page was trying to go, which was "secure.square-enix.com." That seems to be the issue, regardless of the relevancy of the errors.
I can't get IE6 to visit secure pages. Have also tested in another wine prefix with IE8 and get same results.

installed wine
installed winetricks
> winetricks wininet
> winetricks winhttp
> winetricks ie6
> winetricks xact
> winetricks d3dx9
NOTE: Over the course of playing with wine and FFXIV, i've installed DirectX a few different ways. Winetricks was one way, but also the winetricks directx9 was another. A third is to follow the guide located here: www.wine-reviews.net/wine-reviews/games/how-to-install-directx-in-linux- using-wine.html , and instead of downloading the distributable, just use the DirectX version on your cd. If one works for you, awesome.. I had to try all eventually.
Now, install the game through the installer, or you can drag it from a previous install (IE: windows drive)
Normally this would be enough for people to play, however I had to do some other ... interesting things in order to get it to run. These may or may not work for you, but keep an eye on the console and what error messages you get, and they should point you in the right direction
NOTE: for this section, remember that I am using an ATI 5700 series with the 11.2 catalyst drivers.
Modify the xorg.conf, under Section "Device" right below the 'driver "fglrx"' line input:
Option "UseFastTLS" "2"
My graphics card has 1024 megs of video memory
> winetricks videomemorysize=1024
I kept getting an error about libmpg123. Since I am in Arch Linux, i had to install the mpg123 package
> sudo pacman -S mpg123
I've read on some message boards that this could be ignored, but I didn't want to take the chance.
after rebooting the computer, i was able to run my FFXIV, although it would not draw any geometry, only character names and such. To fix this, I had to run the following command to modify the registry of the FFXIV prefix
> winetricks glsl-disable
At this point the game would run, however my ffxivconfig.exe would always crash when I go into the settings for graphics. To get past this, do the following steps:
> wine ffxivconfig.exe
> In ffxivconfig.exe, make sure you select your language, click okay, and click "Yes" when it prompts to save your settings
> run ffxivconfig.exe again, and hit "General"
> do NOT go into any tab exept "Font Settings"
> Click "Use Windows System Font" and select a font from the drop down menu
> Click "Ok" and "Yes" to save your settings
> Now you can adjust your video settings, graphics settings, and sound settings without fear of crashing (hopefully)
> When you're finished, go back into Font Settings tab and uncheck the "Use Windows System Font"
Hopefully this should get you into the same state of the game that I'm in... playable.. but not the fastest thing in the world :) I can play when there isn't a whole lot going on, and its great for crafting.. but I have a feeling if I party or do any dungeon crawling, I'll be booting into windows. But... at least it works in Linux! I hope this helps someone out.. it took me a lot of hours of research, and trial and error to get it into this state.

Using wine's built-in d3dx9_36, a lot of things are black. The background at the start screen is black. Everything in-game is black except for lamps, character names, and most elements of the user interface. The benchmark program suffers from the same condition.
Also the opening movie does not play. The log shows a problem with quartz.dll so an override and regsvr32 fixes that but then there's a bunch of pixel format errors.

Just signed-up to participate in perfecting FFXIV through WINE!
By following ALL of the steps presented on the forum (including all of the winetricks, all of the regedits, switching to XP mode, enabling audio emulation, etc.) I have been able to play FFXIV with relative success.
My current problem is that I am unable to play at my native resolution of 1920X1080. If I use the FFXIV config to set the game to full-screen at 1080p, I get a blank screen and nothing else.
If I set it to 1080p in windowed mode, I get a purple and yellow striping effect, but I know that the game is running because I can click through the initial menus by sound (when mousing over the icons, a noise is made).
Any hints on enabling full-screen or native resolution windowed mode?

And whan I get to the lobby, I get a "131000 The lobby connection has encountered an error". Last output is here: pastebin.com/Q40yfvh1
Also, it doesn't seem to remember that I clicked "remember square enix ID", but that I could live with =)
Using the directx version fix and a winetricks'ed winhttp. 64-bit system.
by Ziron on Saturday October 30th 2010, 17:42
For IE6 you want it to be a global install and not on a specific exe or issues like this will occur. IE6 i DO recommend just using default winetricks for installation.
Also which windows are you using for the settings?
by Mikael Bergström on Friday October 29th 2010, 10:26
I managed to get past the directx version check by using the described method (./winetricks d3dx9_36 xact), but now I get a new error:
"Not enough free disk space. Installation requires 6 gb of free space on the drive containing the My Documents folder. The installation wizard will now end".
All my drives have 16+gb free. First I thought it was because I used a WINEPREFIX, but I get the exact same error using the default wine bottle.
Installing in Ubuntu 10.04 64-bits, using original installation media.
Any thoughts?
by Randy on Friday October 29th 2010, 16:06
I'm guessing these solutions are not ideal for you but if you can, temporarily free up some disk space and try to install after that, then put stuff back on that you took off. You could also try to install the game on another computer and copy the files over but I haven't tried that myself and you might need some registry entries.
by Rarkai on Saturday October 23rd 2010, 12:09
Have to do it from the command line with WINEDEBUG=+winsock,+winhttp to get the updates to work (downloaded them with Vuze, then restarted the updater), but once all updates are installed, i can get into the game and play. winetricks ie6 made the login area work fine, and the audio instructions here worked ok as well (though, emulation for audio makes for SERIOUS FPS hits in other games.)
The issue i am having now is TERRIBLE performance. Has installing Dx10 worked better for anyone? Running in windows xp mode with DX9.0c.

With an ATI 5870, AMD Phenom II 965BE, 4GB DDR3 at 1600Mhz, I wasn't able to play the game with all of the settings turned on at 1920X1080.
by Chiitoo on Friday December 16th 2011, 11:16
What's even more curious is that setting them lower would usually seem to actually decrease performance.
Highest settings (can't remember exactly which) would make the game not render properly for some reason, but either way, after fiddling with the options (not dlls) part of winetricks, there was something that made a huge difference, boosting my FPS from 0-5 to 20-30 with standard/high settings.
I was even running two of them at one time but that was starting to get quite excessive on the CPU (6-cores, each client using about 200-300% when obviously not divided by 6). Not really playable like that.
More experienced with this kind of things will probably know what it was, as I can't remember myself for the time being, and can't really do extensive tests now (and soon the game will not be free anymore and I am unsure if I can pay for it). I suspect when 2.0 version comes out, the game-engine will be better optimised and hopefully will run better under any OS.
For comparison, under Windows 7 I would have 50-60 FPS most of the time, with slightly higher than standard settings (excluding the heavy additional settings).
This with:
3.0.6 Gentoo Linux x86_64
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
Asus ENGTX275
by Chiitoo on Wednesday January 4th 2012, 1:18
When set to: orm=fbo - Set OffscreenRenderingMode=fbo (default), there is quite a huge drop in performance.
The reason why it took me a while to figure it out again, was that at some point between versions 1.3.29 and 1.3.36 something changed somewhere which causes the graphics to flip upside down, and mirror left to right if orm=backbuffer.
I do wonder what kind of experiences others are having with it?
I also had more of an issue with the models not being rendered properly with the newer Wine version. While before, it would be usually enough to restart the game, now it seemed as if I had to restart the whole X-session, but even that would not always help (might have been a coincidence when ever it did).
As if that wouldn't be enough of an annoyance, the log-in UI would crash at seemingly random times with: "m Files\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV\ffxivlogin.exe: ath.c:193: _gcry_ath_mutex_lock: Assertion `*lock == ((ath_mutex_t) 0)' failed." and yes, every time I looked at it, it would not show the full path, even though it does vary, sometimes showing only something like "xivlogin.exe[...]" and checking now with a quick test, the messages around it would be "fixme" messages regarding crypt, secur32, and wintrust.
No idea really where that comes from, but I don't think I had it before. It happens with both versions of Wine that I mentioned above.
It's possible some of my experiments caused this, though I tried to revert everything, I did not try with a new, clean Wine environment this time.
After that, follows an Unhandled exception: assertion failed in 32-bit code (0xf77bd425), and the Backtrace mentions [vdso].so, libc.so.6, libcrypt.so.11, libgnutls.so.26, secur32, wininet, ntdll, and libpthread.so.0, and it seems to be able to happen at any point during the log-in process, before the actual game-client is launched.
Either way, I don't quite have the patience nor the time to test more, and since the game is going pay-to-play within days, not sure when I can look into it again, if ever.
I hope this can be of at least some help to anyone adventuring further.
Good luck! ^^

The ATI 5870 is the best SINGLE GPU on the market by far, it even beats many dual GPU's by Nvidia which is why I picked it.. I can run the game ALMOST maxed out in Ubuntu at 1920x1080 resolution. In windows I definitely can run it with everything maxed out, there is some performance issues with Wine from what I can tell but the loading times are much faster than in windows....probably because of all the background resource hogging trash that windows is always doing...
I have not used Nvidia for almost 2 years now so I am unsure on how you would want to do some of your tweaks :(...

The cards you have are one of the very few that does beat the 5870 but because of the low amount of x2 card support right now, I believe that is why issues are coming up for you.

After selecting a language, the install may say that you need a new DirectX version. The specific dll overrides needed are D3DX9_36, X3DAudio1_6, XAudio2_4, and XactEngine3_4. These can be installed with 'winetricks d3dx9_36 xact' or 'winetricks directx9-beta'. For some reason, I've needed XAPOFX1_3 sometimes.
Client - Get sound working
I posted something similar on the benchmark page but I found more settings that are required.
First you need to have native XAudio2_4.dll in wine's system32 folder(Don't forget to register it with 'regsvr32 XAudio2_4.dll' if you manually added it during the install). Alternatively, you can just do 'winetricks xact'.
Then in wine's config, change the Windows Version to Windows XP. In the audio tab, set Hardware Acceleration to Emulation and make sure Default Sample Rate is set to 44100.

But I can not get past the login screen - it is blank minus the update page / cancel button.
I tried ie6 under winetricks - but no go.

To do that, I ran this directly after wine install:
WINEARCH="win32" winecfg
After that, installing ie6 from winetricks works fine. I can launch it via wine and browse websites. What doesn't work, is the FFXIV login page. Instead of the white page, I now get IE6's "This page cannot be displayed."
In my console, what jumps out at me is this:
fixme:ras:RasEnumConnectionsA (0x630607a8,0x12ae82c,0x6305f610),stub!
fixme:ras:RasEnumConnectionsA RAS support is not implemented! Configure program to use LAN connection/winsock instead!
So I think that's the last hurdle to jump through, figuring out what this is about... I'm using winhttp and wininet with native overrides.

I've set wine to 32 bit as u suggested but I'm not allowed to install any IE install, says I have 64 bit.
But I'm stuck at login screen.

I will have to look into it later, too.
Thank you for asking about it here! I probably would not have noticed without it, though I don't know how much good it will do to get it to work right now, as the upcoming changes may or may not render everything invalid.

Big hopes hehe

How did you 'set wine to 32 bit'?
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/path/to/prefix winecfg (or wine
Where WINEPREFIX is optional. You may use the default one, but you need to make sure it is deleted/moved before issuing the command, because one can not change the bitness of already created prefixes.
Also, are you installing ie8 via winetricks?
That's what I do.

-(or wine
+(or wine < some app >
by Jdar on Thursday November 15th 2012, 13:36
I set it to 32 bit
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winecfg

Include as much related terminal output as you can (use pastebin for long output).
If there's a chance that ie8 was partially installed or so, you might want to try the --force option for winetricks. To make sure your Wine arch is indeed of 32-bits, check that ~/win32/drive_c does not have the Program Files (x86) folder.
Just some thoughts~
Might also want to try stopping by at the IRC channel. ^^
