Editors Note: There are four photos associated with this press release.

TransGaming (TSX VENTURE:TNG), in collaboration with Square Enix Co., Ltd., today announced that FINAL FANTASY® XIV: A Realm Reborn™ will be available on Mac in Spring 2015.

Already a major hit among critics and fans on Windows PC, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4, FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn takes place five years after the realm of Eorzea was ravaged by the unleashing of Bahamut - the most powerful of the god-like Primals. As players explore the world and learn more details in the epic storyline, they can hone their skills with the Armoury System. This unique gameplay feature allows characters to change their role, abilities, and skills on-the-fly, without the need to create multiple characters.

"I'm truly happy to announce that we will be introducing the official Mac version very soon. Thanks to the undivided support from TransGaming, we were able to deliver the graphic quality and gameplay experience that's comparable to the Windows version. We look forward to welcoming Mac gamers to the world of Eorzea!"

TransGaming has utilized its industry-leading cross-platform portability technology to enable the game for Mac OSX®. TransGaming's technology allows PC and console games to be enabled for Mac, Steam OS™, and Android® platforms with minimal cost and development resources.
