    animation lock is bad. Period. It's never, ever, ever, ever a good thing- its unrealistic and illogical- the game froze your character when it makes perfectly logical sense for your character to be able to move in various ways- it even froze you when *other people* did things to you *unless* you were already moving, which felt very glitchy and buggy. ARR story blows 1.0 story out of the water. What we saw of the original 1.0 story was pretty much garbage except for the introductory quest cutscenes. The good parts were the ones Yoshida created for the 7th umbral era (which existed only to lead into ARR)

    Anyone saying that 2.0 looks better than 1.0 you're absolutely wrong. You're just wrong. You can't even argue it. 1.0 in all technicalities has better textures, lighting, water effects, etc. than 2.0. 1.0 used a different graphical engine that favored more powerful machines. 2.0 was built with the PS3's limitations, not PC's.

    Also, all of those giving me random dates, nice sources. You forgot to list them.

    Ugh, this community...
    I forgot to mention, there is no official date only that it's coming along with the PS4 version of the game which is slated to start its 'testing' in February so we can safely assumed February ~ March(ish).

    You can find the sources yourself, you're a big boy.

    You did watch the live-letters.....didn't you?

    For someone previously saying "Urggh, this community" you sure have a nice way of 'communicating'...

    But let's do it your way.
    It wasn't particularly difficult to find any of this, but I've already said there's no solid date yet, only that it's slated to be released along-side the PS4 which was previously announced (In a Live Letter) sometime around February.

    Most of it was mentioned around the live-letters produced around the time the E3 trailer revealed that the game was being ported to the PlayStation 4, the rest was information in various interviews.

    [Video Inside Article]
    http://www.finalfantasy.net/xiv/yosh...y-xiv-ps4vita/

    For players currently playing on the PlayStation 3, the upgrade to PlayStation 4 is drastic. Not only will the game feature better graphics all around on nex-generation hardware, but it will be able to render up to 200 players in your vicinity. With the large amount of memory that the PlayStation 4 provides, as well as the character data that is passed from server to player, this is possible. The special touchpad on the DualShock 4 will allow players a point-and-click feature. Using the PlayStation 4′s video sharing capabilities, you’ll be able to quickly share videos of important moments such as your favorite cutscenes your your narrow victories.

    If you own a PlayStation Vita, you’re in luck, as Yoshida confirms that Remote Play will be possible between PlayStation 4 and the handheld, allowing you to take the MMO off the HD screen and into your hands. Eorzea Libra, a companion app scheduled to roll out very soon for iOS (and within a month on Android) will also be available for PlayStation Vita users.

    In closing, Yoshida described that his favorite parts of the PlayStation 4 were its large pool of memory (which allows more breathing room when creating high quality assets) and the Remote Play connectivity with PlayStation Vita.

    Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will be available on PlayStation 4 next year, presumably after DirectX 11′s release. The game is now currently available on PlayStation 3 and Windows PC.

    The team is going to work on the DirectX 11 client for PC together with with the PS4 version, so it will be released in early 2014 as well.
    http://www.gameskinny.com/7gecj/ffxi...rt-3-lets-talk

    Besides, according to director/producer Naoki Yoshida, DX11 is coming within a year (not to mention the PS4 release). I think I can tough out the wait!
    http://www.novacrystallis.com/2013/0...naoki-yoshida/

    Nova Crystallis: You mentioned before that the next milestone after launch is the implementation of DirectX 11 support. How is this going to work with the standard client?
    Yoshida: First of all for DirectX 11, we’ll probably ask the players to download a separate client as it’s a totally different technology.
    http://www.warcry.com/news/view/1248...cer-Live-at-E3

    Yoshida mentioned that the announcement was brand new and that they were still working on the details but that players could expect a DirectX 11 and PS4 port to be released pretty close together and as soon as a year or so from now.
    http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/09/...t-pc-settings/

    That said, he clarified that a DirectX 11 version of the PC client is currently in development, and while the PS4 version will use some of the new DirectX 11 features, it won’t use them all.
    As for finding the specific live-letter(s) where actual time-frames were mentioned, you can take a long walk off a short-cliff. That's for you to find seeing as you're the one seeking for information on the actual release of the update. But the information is there, the rough time-frame has been given, and all you can do is sit with your thumb up your arse while you wait for more information.

    So,I'll do it. Thank you! Thank you for the excellent information that you found.
