This has probably been posted before in this thread (did not read fully), and also posted in the other threads.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think over 50% is the majority. I mean, that's what I was taught in kindergarten.

The CMs need to forward hardware survey sites to developers so they pull their heads out of their asses.

Facts people put together:

1) A DX10 capable card is required to run the game at playable framerates
2) Steam, the biggest digital distribution service in the world, records over 50% of the computers it's installed on to be DX10 capable.
3) Windows 7 dominates the OS market, capable of DX11.
4) Windows Vista, capable of DX10, was upgraded to support DX11 shortly after 7's release.
5) DX10 is 5 years old. Was FFXIV really in development for over 5 years? Considering the amount of re-hashed content, I highly doubt it.
6) You can make different clients for different platforms. More development time, yes. Better experience for all of your CUSTOMERS, absolutely.

It probably more to due with the PS3 issues, need of the new engine to handle server issues and PC side, and to be able to run on the PS3.

I hope to god, they do ntot hold back the PC version for because of the PS3 limitations, like the PS2 played a role in further progress of XI. Sure the PC was able to have better bump mapping and detail, but other aspects weere always limited to the PS2 ability to display items in variety.

Direct is standard. It is the most popular. Opengl is a rare thing in gaming, and lacks features. We don't expect the PS3 version to be amazing, jsut playable and smooth. Yet don't hold back the game on PC's becuase of the issues faced on the PS3.
