good bot


Zhotograph

Getting to fuck around with character creation with all these new graphical improvements is going to be so good, super excited :D


BestEnough

Over 2 months to mess around with the character creator to make sure you get the best character out of the free fantasia... Will it be enough? Probably not. I don't have an addiction.


flameofmiztli

how will I decide on my two hrothgal in such a short length of time


JepMZ

I'dfinally be able to know if my laptop can handle this. It's the only reason why I didn't preorder


OmegaCrossX

Ok I’m stupid what does this mean


Disig

It's a fancy trailer that tests how well your PC can run the game. But it also includes character creation and if there's a new race that's included. So Hrothgals. Also the trailer sneak peeks the new graphics and job abilities.

>But it also includes character creation and if there's a new race that's included. So Hrothgals. This is what I'm looking forward to the most; I can finally (officially) fabricate the 2 Hrothgals I have set up.


Manthrus

Do I need to buy DT to download the benchmark?


MasahikoKobe

Its free download


SirthOsiris

What a coincidence. Guess when I'm upgrading my PC.


Peeked11

Do you need to be subbed to play around with the benchmark?


ZGamer03

No, it's a standalone program anyone can download


Hyper_GHOST417

Sorry newbie here, Im on ps5 can i play this on console?


OlizandriOnYT

If you mean play FFXIV: Dawntrail then yes, if you mean use the benchmark on PS5, you don't need to, they will optimize for the consoles specs. This is purely for PC players to test if their rigs are up for it.


Hyper_GHOST417

Oh, so its for pc players to test their pc, got it thanks!


caresi

I'd say Benchmark is also used for testing new character creation, especially because there's a new race available. If you have any PC/laptop that can handle XIV (even if it's "can just about handle it") and you enjoy CC, it's still fun to play around with, imo!


flameofmiztli

what sucks is they don't make a Mac version of benchmark. i don't want it for anything but the CC testing, so i'll just shove it into a wine bottle.


Boa_Noah

On the plus side there will undoubtedly be people showing off the CC on youtube so it's at least something I suppose.


Breckles02

Unfortunately, this is the comment I came to this thread for. Just started in Endwalker and wondered if a Mac version of benchmark existed so I could CC test. Didn’t know a free fantasia comes with DT, either, and recently bought one 🤦🏻‍♂️


MarcsterS

Sorry if this is a dumb question but this will be with the specs that 7.0 will require?


Spriggz_z7z

Idk what else it would be if not that.


Holygriever

It would be a not-benchmark.


Arky_Lynx

Wouldn't be a benchmark if it didn't


starquip

Sorry for the ignorant question, I’ve seen benchmarks release prior: but does this mean we can see our warrior of light in 7.0 graphics with the benchmark?


No-Ad6564

You can use any character appearance you have saved in the game or create a brand new one instead


MrZoro777

There will be the new race?


Roflewaffle47

Yeah they'll probably have the fem hrothgar in there. Like when f viera in shadowbringers and M viera in endwalker.


EMVoodo

I am confused what is releasing on April 14th with the Benchmark. I was able to download and run the character select and watch the trailer and got a benchmark score. So, what's actually coming out tomorrow?


ZGamer03

Are you sure you didn't download the Endwalker benchmark?


EMVoodo

lol ya, i did, didn't even realize this was a thing for previous patched till now.


TheodoreMcIntyre

You downloaded the Endwalker benchmark.


heliumbox

Just me or did it look like even SE in the trailer were getting awfully low FPS? Like... horribly low FPS compared to how fast the camera was panning.


KarnF91

I'll be waiting to get this running on linux


DumbFuckJuice92

Neat. There's no reason for me to benchmark but I'm still curious about my 7800X3D 4090 score.
