Cheers for the EU host. Going to try this out on my laptop for a laugh.

You can snip and paste just the heaven benchmark window you know. We dont need to see your entire desktop which probably took ages for some people to load 😉 even if you did use spoiler tags.

Loved this benchmark. I know it is nothing top of the line but I believe this game to be well made and has come a long way. However my PC had very little issue handling itself at max everything dx11. http://s42.photobucket.com/user/Moises_C_Dobarganes/library/

Very nice benchmark with beautiful scenery. I like that is a "real" graphic engine from a real game and not a theoretical one.

aside graphic, gameplay is **** ... no offense but i was a long ff14 player content all copying wow or other mmo and the worst is they (dev.team) basically create a design that "stressing" player than giving player "enjoyment" its like u go to end-contents, weekly limited for luck based loot... it can be 3months long without getting anything ... while other people/friends can get all they end content equip straight up in just 2-3weeks and there like nothing to do till next patch... seriously not sure even the dev.team have brains in game design ... luck-factor in game is fun factor if not overly used then now they started selling stuff, mount-minion-etc. to get more profit.. also for graphic, imo "black dessert" abit better, and everything in there abit more fresh (eventhough the basic still all same)

While I do agree that the end content drops can be crappy with a weekly lockout and RNG, the devs are actually paying attention to user feedback and introducing a token system so that even if you don't get your drop you will still get it eventually via the tokens. As for the store comment, well WOW has no problem charging £20+ for a mount or the character boost and in comparison the FFXIV store is cheaper with the most expensive item on there is the Odin mount at £10~. All items sold there are cosmetic and don't give any players an advantage over others in buying them so i don't see a problem (although it's always a hot subject). In my opinion I'd rather they sell the items they do in the store for a bit more profit to improve the game than have to turn it into a "Free to Play" cash wall.

The is the second Final Fantasy benchmark I've tried. The first was XI running on a GTX FX5900-Ultra. Although not much use as serious benchmark programs as they're just showpieces for a game, they're always visually amazing. I reckon the Monster Hunter benchmark still holds the crown for the most visually impressive benchmark, but this one is runner-up.
