Question regarding the new graphics engine

[buritoslicer]

Try to read my entire post. I know new models are coming with and after 2.0. I was clearly asking if it was possible to add more before that due to the new graphics engine they're adding. While SE hasn't given info on the new engine, anybody with knowledge on how it works could answer my question.....like KiriA500 has.

I completely read your post, there are some new models displayed in the 2.0 concepts. I'm pretty sure Yoshida flashed stuff from his laptop to the camera a few times, although when I think about it... it was showing off new mount/running/jumping concepts. I think on the first one he shows off some new primal models and a few monster models.

According to the roadmap, we are enjoying the new jobs right now! Oh wait...

I know you're trying to help and I appreciate it, but that's not what I was asking. I've been keeping up with the game since day 1 and have seen all of the videos, read all of the letters, and kept up with news regarding the game. My question was whether or not SE are able to release new enemy models or variations or if we have to wait till 2.0 due to them creating a new graphics engine for XIV and being restricted to the capabilities of the current one.

Which roadmap do you read? In my roadmap we get jobs with 1.21

There are already some new monster models ingame, but currently only quest related like the golem in the grand company quest. I agree that we need more free running killable monster models

According to the roadmap, we should already have patch 1.21..... hope this doesn't mean they are falling behind.

Really? Because it quite clearly says Early February 2012 for 1.21 release.

Ahh, you are correct. I was looking at the other roadmap, here: http://wdl.square-enix.com/ffxiv/dow...Roadmap_EN.pdf

It appears in that chart that 1.21 should have hit in December, got a bit confused.
