Benchmark is screwy.

I scored 3700 on low with a Q6600 (But I do have a superior GPU)

The benchmark is still garbage. I wouldn't base your ability to run the game off of it period. It said my rig would barely be able to run it, and it runs its perfectly. Not at max settings of course, but damn close to it.

The development system is a mix between IX and XI Blue spell system.

There are two separate forms of "levels." You have your Job Rank, and your Physical level. Both increase independently of each other. Job Rank refers to your proficiency with said weapon/class be it Pugilist/Marauder/Lancer etc. Physical level being self-explanatory. Attribute points are given per physical level, as are elemental resistance points. The nice about it now is that The points aren't shared. Attribute and elemental resistance points are now independent pools. Prior to beta2 they were shared, which kinda sucked.

Skills assigned use a specific amount of ability points that you can use (hence the reference to the Blue Mage system.) I haven't personally looked at how the increase in points progresses (though I would assume it does with increased physical/job rank levels.) My only major gripe though (and this is a massive gripe) is that when you change classes, your current set of abilities aren't kept, or "remembered" in your hotbar. They are erased and you have to reset each additional ability outside your basic attack, which can be extremely tedious later on.

Probably cant afford that so I'll be needing to sneak into one of your houses and play it. Leave the key under the rock by the back door please <.<!

No you're not! Your lack of a correcting me on having to buy a new computer says its true, so in order to properly shout whenever i hit the Thunder IV macro (makes it land harder), I'll need to get my own computer lest i wake you up at night, so instead of looking for other people's homes to sneak into we're going to start a marathon, each mile you run you give me $100, just a few more miles and i'll have enough money!

bah i gotta seriously upgrade my comp x.x;

im not that good at comps though... i know ill need a new graphics card, cause its just a ati radeon 200 chip set...

but im not sure if i even need to replace the processor. when i pressed the windows and 'r' button, i was able to see that the processor i have is a... Intel Pentium D cpu 2.80 ghz (2 cpus).

does anyone know if that will work with 14? idk where to check online for it, and id try the comp store but im betting theyre more than likely to just say anything to get me to buy something from out of there.

Ignore what it says about how well it will run. Anything higher than a 500 will still run FFXIV.

SE has confirmed they're working on a new Benchmark for a non alpha build.

Now they just need to fix the archaic and unwieldy UI and FFXIV will actually be ready for a retail launch. ;/

Yes I'm quoting myself to reiterate the fact that the benchmark is NOT something to go by.
I originally scored an 1872 on the low resolution setting with the following specs:

IntelĀ® Core(tm) i7-720QM @1.6GHz (Boosted to 2.68GHz)
4GB DDR3 RAM (Upgradeable to 8)
ATI Mobility Radeon HD5730 (1GB GDDR3 Video Memory)


The game runs perfectly fine despite the benchmark telling me, by its own score, that my computer would barely be able to run it.
The damn thing is a laptop to boot. Nothing to sneeze at mind you, but a laptop nonetheless.

Honestly I still believe its a ways away from a retail launch. It would be wise for them to push the date back, if only even by a month or so, to make sure everything is in order. When it comes to an MMO...first impressions are everything unfortunately. :\ It has come a long way in the short time that it has gone from Alpha to Beta stage though.

I'm curious as to when the new benchmark will be released, and why its taken them so long to do so. Hopefully this one will be able to detect multi-core systems, and possibly systems with crossfired GPUs. o-ob
