Update on DirectX 11 client?

[Shiin]

This is not true. The PS4 release and DX 11 PC update are happening at the same time.

GW: What will happen when we need to buy a new package? Will it have both clients inside?

Yoshida: Hmm, when we resale, we’ll probably have to do that. Either that or, put in the DirectX 9 version, and after registering, you can download the DirectX 11 version, I haven’t decided yet. DirectX 11 support is coming after addressing the PS4 version. We’re working on developing both in parallel but as for the order, PS4 version will be first.

GW: When can we expect the DirectX 11 version release?

Yoshida:We were finally able to announce the PS4 versions beta test timing, so from there the next phase would be about 6 month later. As I have been saying, there are patch 2.0, PS3 version, DirectX 11 version, and PS4 version for our milestone. Right now our first goal is the PS4 version, then the DirectX 11 version. We are thinking of these milestones in about 6 month intervals.

Also, that date.. "2013-09-21" 9-21-2013. Not exactly recent at all.

It was kind of up in the air at that point in time, but I believe there's been more recent talk about the DX11 version. I really don't see why we couldn't get it relatively close to the same time as the PS4 version launch.
