The Au Ra are available tomorrow?

The benchmark program is supposed to be launched tomorrow. Within it will be character creation for Au Ra, just as there was character creation for the benchmark before ARR was launched initially back in the day. If it works as before, you should be able to create a character and save it as a profile that you'll be able to use in the actual game when Heavensward actually launches.

Apparently the naming rules aren't gonna be in it, though? Sad.

Oh, and how do I do this benchmark thing? Is there a link with an explanation somewhere? Sorry for the noobish questions. :3

I'm sure it'll be linked somewhere on these forums as soon as it's available. It'll be something you need to download and run separately, but for now, it's just an announcement that it'll be here soon and we twiddle our thumbs until it exists.

Yeah.... My thoughts too, or SWTOR. As much as I enjoyed both games. 


Meena:
Sadly PS3 support eliminates that. Until PS3 support is gone, we wont be getting any re-textures.

I totally forgot about that. D:

Cool, thanks. ^^
I might reactivate my account and make me an Au Ra then.

You don't need an active account to use the benchmark.

Why is it cool? The game is obviously not supposed to be shonen anime. There's Dragonball Xenoverse for that.

Final Fantasy is still anime-inspired, and each race has something that appeals to various people's tastes. Au Ra brings in something new that appeals to a new group of people without stepping outside the original concept of the anime-inspired franchise.

It is totally alright that you don't like it. But there's no need to deny it to others, just because it doesn't fit your personal taste.

I'm just going to leave this here as a reminder of big-hair in the Final Fantasy series.

You should take the time to get caught up on story content then, as the new Heavensward areas won't be accessible without having cleared the MSQ through Before the Fall!

If we're being honest here, I'd make a cloud-clone in FFXIV out of a midlander if I could. Fuck the HATERS.
