Although the fourth expansion for Final Fantasy 14 is still months away, Square Enix has revealed system requirements as well as a benchmarking tool that you can download if you want to see how well your rig will be able to play Endwalker.
It contains a character builder so you can construct your own hero if you don’t want to see the default paladin dude in the benchmark, as well as the ability to make a male viera character, because Endwalker will allow you to play one of the formerly gender-locked rabbitfolk as a man.
The benchmark cinematic also showcases some of the Endwalker features, such as the academic island of Old Sharlayan, which will serve as the new hub, and two new jobs: the Sage, who acts as a barrier healer, and the scythe-wielding Reaper.
“This benchmark employs revised scoring criteria to account for the increase in multiplayer content and offer a more realistic estimate of how your machine will perform while running the current version of the game,” according to Square Enix.
