Final Fantasy XIV: How great FF14 looks with DirectX 11

Final-Fantasy-XIV-Heavensward

The fantasy MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV will also support DirectX 11 with the Heavensward expansion. This is noticeable in the first screenshots.

In a new dev blog, which is currently only available in Japanese, Square Enix shows a screenshot captured with the current DirectX9 client and places the same image alongside the DirectX11 client. The differences are enormous.

Shadows play a much larger role and especially the reflection is striking. Later this month, a new benchmark is expected to be released, allowing players to ensure that their computers can run Heavensward . The add-on will be released on June 23.
