Update on DirectX 11 client?

[Kluya15]

DX11 client planned release date is 6 mounth after PS4 client release, so september-october 2014. We know that PS4 beta starts late february and will last 1 month.

It's being released along with the PS4 client, not 6 months after.

If I don't see DX11 in 1-2 months, I'll cancel the subscription period. I like the the design, but not DX9 in 2014 ok? it's way outdated!
Also admit it the end game content is boring. Grinding dungeon for gears? Come on I really believe you can do better than this SE.

I'm hopeful this is the case but can't find a source that claims this to be so. Do you have one? Does anyone have a source?

I just got a little giddy with this post.. Though i'm not getting my hopes up!

They're pushing the PS4 build THEN focusing on DX11. Yoshi has said as much. DX11 will likely be in the summer. Probably worked on in tandem with 2.3 just like PS4 and 2.2.

Originally PS4 and DX11 was planned to be developed at the same time. It's not the case now.

Last estimate I heard was from Tokyo Game Show interview. Based off interview I guess it's about 6 months from March-April.

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.

Edit: replaced source that has better translation.

No. Read this: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post1324244

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.

it's always been 90-180 days after the PS4 version's release. since 4/14/14 is the PS4 Launch Date you're looking at 7/13/14 - 10/11/14.

Man. That's just too slow. :\ shouldn't they already be working on it? I mean a little over a year just to get dx11 is a little much.

I can't wait to see/hear all the disappointment when it finally drops. It isn't going to be everything that people are expecting to come with DX11 and it will most likely be enhanced via patches after deployment.
