Yeah I was gonna say this. I assumed the current client has 1920x1080 textures (even if ps3 only shows them at sub-720p, still) and the fact ps4 is only 1080p for gaming, why would they be getting higher res textures?

Because the current client is DX9 it's using far more than it needs to use to get this level of graphics. Think of it this way.

On DX9 we need 1000 units to get these graphics.

On DX11 we'll only need 600 to get the same graphics. And the extra 400+ will allow even more/better things.

Anyways @OP they said it'll be about 6 months after PS4 retail release of XIV.
