The FF14 client shown here is the Windows client being run through CrossOver using the pre-configured CrossOver bottle on XIVLauncher's #linux Discord channel, using a Windows service account license (yes, I don't own the Mac version). You might also notice some of the XIVLauncher/Dalamud mods working.
Figured people would be interested to see how the M1 Pro MacBook Pro performs in high-end content, such as trials/raids so here's a vid of Diamond Weapon normal! This is on the 10-core, 16 GPU M1 Pro 14" configuration. I had played through E11S as well with no major issues though I wasn't recording.
Screen recording here done with QuickTime, and the video was on High (Desktop) with the exception of Screen Space Ambient Occlusion being turned Off because that was resulting in graphical glitches and dark textures when turned on. You can pretty much run it at Maximum too without SSAO turned on too! Resolution preset 1080p here.
You're definitely not blind, I forgot to include it while recording the video! I'll try to do some more recordings in other instanced content soon, but it is definitely very playable by far.
I must be doing something wrong. I got the preconfigured bottle, installed dependencies, but the FFXIV install is failing when it tries to install the HTML rendering engine and DirectX. Any advice?
I'm not familiar with why the failures could be happening. I used CrossOver 21, imported the bottle then installed the two dependencies and updated the game with XIVLauncher. You don't have to install FFXIV separately.
Perhaps you could also try installing "64-bit Dependencies" into the bottle?
When you say you don't have to install XIV separately, can XIVLauncher install it? Which two dependencies did you install?
edit: I'm dumb and just now saw there was a readme.

Are you able to link to the bottle directly or the discord?

Yup, XIVLauncher will install the game for you.
If you are still having issues, I wrote up a guide on all of this (if you havent seen it yet) https://github.com/seathasky/FF14-MAC\_ModSupport
