Hankering for some more Final Fantasy XIV action, but not quite sure your rig is up to the tasking of handling the enhanced DirectX 11 graphics of upcoming expansion Heavensward?
Spoilers: it probably will be. To make sure though, you can test it out using some new benchmark software that Square Enix has kindly made available for free. Said benchmark also lets you try out the expansion’s new playable race, the Au Ra.
The game’s producer/director Naoki Yoshida announced the software at the recent Nico Nico Chokaigi 2015 event in Tokyo, and revealed a new trailer that showcases three new playable jobs, dungeons, new areas, and the highly anticipated flying mounts. And yes, it turns out chocobos can fly now.
Heavensward is due out this June 23, and takes players into the heart of the Dragonsong War, “the bloody thousand-year conflict between the knights of Ishgard and the dragons of Dravania”. Expect an increased level cap from 50 to 60, new primal battles, raids and more.
Grab the free benchmark software right here.
