heavensward dev begins

When did heavensward dev begin and when was dx12 and the windows 10 free upgrade anounced. they need to get to know the in's and out's with dx12 before even using it 1st dont you think. ARR should have been dx 11 in the first place. It's not like it's new it's been out since before ARR dev started..

 Yeah people are going to need time to buy into the windows 10/ dx12 market and buy FFXIV Gil 2 years is rather short in real time even if it's an eternity for developer cycles. Next expansion will probably bring that in if the markets big enough and avoid dev tool fiascos.  they actualy used ff14 1.0 as the base shell and kept with a lot of the same things 1 of them being dx9. game engines have to be rewritten to support DX12 its not as simple as choosing x86 or x64 in a compiler.

 I'm proud this silly argument is still going. Was being a sarcastic FFXIV Gil a**hat and it spiraled out control especial with the defense of squeenix.
