This is no excuse directX 10/11 are supported on all graphics cards these days that can run ffxiv well, all not supporting directX10/11 will do is shorten the lifespan of the game, and make it harder for the devs to improve the game.

DirectX10/11 will make the game run better, also in a couple of years ATI and Nvidia will stop support for Dx9 which will start to affect performance. If the game is going to be successful it needs atleast Dx10 support.
