At some point soon after stabilizing the game, SE should start working on a DX11 execution path. In three years the game will look dated, but DX11 features like tessellation, high quality occlussion, realistic shadows, much much more complex physics with directcompute, etc. could really help the game age better, way beyond increasing resolution or antialiasing.
FFXI aged fairly well and it didn't have DX11 >_> I doubt this game will look dated in three years...until the next line of consoles comes out.
