What exactly is this Direct X 11 and what will it do?

Most models themselves aren't too bad it's just the poor texture quallity that really needs to go. IMHO at least.

I think Yoshida is smoking some good crack when he said textures don't matter. Either that or I just didn't quite get his emphasis (imo it came across as "don't matter", maybe I misread).

I notice low res textures all the time in ARR, best strategy to avoid that is to keep your camera away from objects but.. that solution makes sense (don't look closely lol).

Its not the worst thing ever though, in battle or far camera scene shots I doubt you'd ever notice lol.
