ffxiv for ps4 in February but not even 1 mention of the dx11 client..

PS4 and FFXIV is a pretty big deal in Japan. Resources are much better spent on that than giving PC gamers prettier graphics. How do I bussiness?

By putting out a contract to some freelance artists for higher resolution textures. I mean look at the TES modding community along with the plain strange and nude mods, there is a thriving high detail model and texture mods out there, and these are usually made by one extremely talented person per mod. You're telling me that SE a company that is making more revenue from their other endeavors than their own developed games can't afford to higher a few more extra artists? Its not like this game has any real variety when it comes to armor, the majority being either complete reskins or slightly reworked reskins.

they said there there engine didnt support DX11 so they either going to wait till its upgraded or change what there using now. i say dont hold your breath for DX11.

PS4 limitations coming soon.

I believe they have stated that the DX11 version would be released 6 months after the PS4 release, meaning that since the PS4 version is coming out in April, we will likely see the DX11 version entering Beta in August and releasing in October.

i use nvidia surround setup with SLI gtx 770´s and i have far bigger issues on DX9 than i would have with DX10 even 11. the game needs it and people talk about how other issues comes first, well most issues comes from the fact that the game runs DX9 for example, the game runs slow for me and thats just because the direct x 9 holds my gpu back they should work on this and implement it asap, not focus on revamping the game for ps4, who cares :X

I want to say that YP already mentioned that the DX11 version would be a while after the PS4 version. Think of the PS4 version as the DX11 testbed.

I seem to recall them saying that DX11 update won't bring better textures, but more lighting effects.

GW: How’s the texture resolution?
Yoshida: We have no plans to change the resolution. I explained this before, but current games are not built on resolutions any more. For photo realistic effect the quality of normal map, for sculpt model it will depend on the amount of time spent, and for the quality seeing how realistic you can get the engravings to show by shining realistic light. These are the kind of things we need to tackle down. There are things which uses really low texture resolutions, but I think, you won’t be able to tell that it was even used. Game structure like the “previous FFXIV” are the only one that required resolution to fight, therefore I don’t think around resolutions.

Yoshida, PC gamers with high resolution monitors can see the difference. New CT gear has some texture without anti aliasing so they look jagged when you zoom in to your character. Most textures with anti aliasing effect looks blurry. High resolution textures will add more detail definition.



Personally I think adding tessellation to remove those straight lines that should be curved such as on my character hands, ears, hair and face is more important.

Yep, not sure why people think DX11 is going to transform this game into something else, it's still going to be the ARR we know and (love/hate) today. Textures will still be very low res (zoom in on some and see how pixilated they get) and allow for some better environmental effects maybe, not that the world has any meaning...

The gameplay will largely remain untouched since what they can do with DX11 they can do now in terms of it, for example we won't get new jobs just because they release DX11 or anything.

I would like to also see some of the issues like clipping taken care of. For example the bard chapeau and the artimis bow clip majorly

i just want dx11 so that my gpu's are utilized. dx 9 is so crap and sucking on all my cpu
