I saw that Final Fantasy XIV is on sale on the Square Enix store atm and am debating buying a second copy for my MacBook Pro. This second copy would mainly be for travel and allowing me to play the game while away from my desktop.

Final Fantasy 14 - System Requirements
Final Fantasy 14 is available on the Playstation 3 and the Windows PC platforms. There are talks of development for XBox 360 but the development team have said that they have yet to reach a deal with Microsoft.One very good feature is the ability to seamlessly switch platforms. The servers that run FF14 will be platform independent meaning that you could purchase FF14 on both your PS3 and PC and switch between them, being able to pick up where you left off.
A more realistic application for this is being able to log into your account at the house of a friend who has a different platform to you. While a relatively small feature, it should improve usability a great deal for the players of FF14.

Square Enix halted OS X sales for 'Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward after a number of issues prompted negative feedback from Mac users.
Two weeks after its launch on Mac, Square Enix has suspended all sales of 'Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward' for OS X due to user complaints.
Last minute efforts to optimize the game and improve performances resulted in the release of incorrect requirements for the Mac version, causing several gamers to discover their system didn't meet the game's requirements.
Despite the developer's plan to perform last minute maintenance on the game before its launch, the game was sold earlier than scheduled due to a miscommunication with retailers. The downloadable pre-release title came with a number of performance issues resulting in poor feedback from gamers.
'Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward' will remain suspended for Mac until the company can provide users with exact information and detailed technical requirements for the product on OS X.

'FF14' director and producer Naoki Yoshida issued an apology on the game's official homepage, saying he was taking full responsibility for the problematic launch on Mac, assuring other users the game's service will not be suspended.
Meanwhile, Square Enix has also announced it will be issuing refunds for Mac users who purchased the game and discovered it incompatible with their system, providing a form on its website Support Center for the purpose.

Mac users who purchased the game via retailers were encouraged to fill out a consultation form on the game's website if they were experiencing problems getting their money back.

'Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward' continues to be available on PC, PS3 and PS4 platforms, and while Yoshida assured players Square Enix will be working on fixing the Mac system requirements issue, his statement didn't include when 'FF14' would be available again for OS X users.
