Direct x10 or even 11?

in Final Fantasy XIV

I was just curious to see what people thought would happen. I have not seen any information on the topic so far, but it is always fun to speculate beforehand.

So what do you think? Will FFXIV start being direct x10 capable and then eventually support direct x11? Will it not even be direct x10 capable? Will we be amazed that it is direct x11 capable from launch?!

Just curious to see peoples thought on the matter.

    The lightning model XIV uses (SSAO) is DX10 based.. so my guess is that it'll support dx10, although there are modified versions for dx9 so can't be sure which one they'll end up using. 

    Using LOL is like saying "my argument sucks but I still want to disagree".

    Considering that all current gen consoles are stuck in DX9 thats all the PS3 and if FFXIV gets released for the 360 will support!  However, I could've sworn SE has stated that PC users would be getting more options this time around and not stuck with the crappy console limitations like we have been with FFXI.

    I sure hope we PC users get some DX10 and DX11 options, but I doubt we'll see full support with tesselation though.

    I would think many pc users would want DX10 but I'm going to guess that the game will use both dx10 and dx9 since so many still run dx9.

    It's already common knowledge XIV is built on DX9, but it's structure is left open to accommodate DX10 and possibly DX11

    (like most PC games are nowadays).  Just search some of the interviews.
