New rain effect is a bit disappointing. It should look like this:

I guess you didn't see the interview with Yoshi-P that basically said we'd be lucky to have it by the end of the year.....

Yep. I also idly wonder why it was even released without directX 11 at launch tbph.

Because it's been in the news that when Microsoft ends XP support, a large number of people in Japan will be affected. Yes, the Japanese are STILL using XP even today. DirectX 11 isn't supported on XP so it only makes sense that Square wouldn't develop for it.

I'd say its probably more likely that the PS3's version of openGL is basically DX9.

Also the reason why they will be dropping ps3 support once the majority of that player base makes the jump to ps4.

Direct x and opengl have nothing to do with one another other than the fact they are both a graphics api.

Feature wise and conversion wise. What I said makes perfect sense to anyone who knows what I mean and isn't specifically trying to start something.

In the same way that the PS4 version is basically DX11.

It's a fairly large change to 3d layer. You're just trivializing the amount of work like it's easy. As you said though the ps4 is essentially DirectX 11. Although it likely sports both 9 and 11 since the pc version of the hardware did.

Oh I did. I don't see how it coming out by the end of the year , or even someone next year, and me asking for patience don't line up though.

Sorry for multiple posts. Using my phone from a hospital and its a bit more of a pain.
