2.0 Excitement thread

This is truly a monumental feat, I do wonder what some of the OT checks looked like while this is being worked on lol. As long as the game runs better, PC's run cooler, Client has DX11, and SLI/Crossfire support, and I can actually Alt Tab out with no issues I will sing praise. If any of these are missing it will be a monumental waste of time.

The one thing I am completely excited for 2.0 is the redesign of Eorzea.

THAT, and PVP!

And also everything else.

DX11 is for post 2.0. Been said many times.
Should be getting ability to Alt-Tab though, that came up in many of the fan site interviews.

A few months ago it was said they'll be putting in DX11 a bit after launch, since they don't want to hold back the launch for the sake of only a portion of users. Understandable, I think, and it's how a few games I can think of have handled it recently (Arkham City, Shogun 2 and Dragon Age 2 off the top of my head). I don't recall if there was any announcement about SLI/Crossfire, though.

I'm glad to hear that the PC specs will be lowered, as several friends of mine from FFXI have wanted to try the game but just don't have the rigs to play it, and several more play the game but can't play it properly--even I had to build a new PC before I could play at a tolerable level. I hope it represents more an increase of the range of playability than a simple lowering of specs, which seems to be the goal of the dev team.

I can relate to you here i had to build a decent rig to play as well but the game has come such a long way in such a short time that i am glad i did.2.0 is exciting in so many ways to me and in this hurry up now now now kind of world i am glad that Y P is driving this boat it looks like we shall be in for a real treat when 2.0 finally releases thanks YP and to the whole dev team!!!!!!!!

I just hope that these lower specs won't make the game look uglier than what we have now. I hope they optimize it. The way it is now, no single video card can handle this game at Max settings. Since sli doesn't change anything for this engine. I hope they scale down the graphics for poor pcs but keep it awesome for high spec ones

I think he means that it will be able to run smoother on mid end PC's and still retain the beauty it has for the high end monster PC's everyone seems so adamant on having.

Yoshida posted some information about version 2.0 today.

Enjoy!

Very good news, we cheer you on Yoshida! Go ahead now and make history. I know i'm very excited about v2.0 and has been since I first saw the roadmap for it.
