Finally, a cross-platform FFXIV launcher. It should run on Windows, macOS and Linux!

Compared to XIVQuickLauncher and the official launcher, this supports
|
|
|
|
|
**multiple profiles** and **macOS and Linux**! This means you no longer
|
|
|
|
|
have to suffer running your launcher through Wine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of this moment, the three missing major features are **game patching** and **Dalamud and other external tool launching** and **the news list**.
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't use these features then the launcher is still usable.
