Any idea if 2.0 will properly support SLI/Crossfire, or DirectX 10/11?

A few months ago it was said they'll be putting in DX11 a bit after launch, since they don't want to hold back the launch for the sake of only a portion of users. Understandable, I think, and it's how a few games I can think of have handled it recently (Arkham City, Shogun 2 and Dragon Age 2 off the top of my head). I don't recall if there was any announcement about SLI/Crossfire, though.

I'm glad to hear that the PC specs will be lowered, as several friends of mine from FFXI have wanted to try the game but just don't have the rigs to play it, and several more play the game but can't play it properly--even I had to build a new PC before I could play at a tolerable level. I hope it represents more an increase of the range of playability than a simple lowering of specs, which seems to be the goal of the dev team.
