Longest Free Login Campaign Now Underway; Offers Up to 14 Days of Free Playtime for Returning Players
SQUARE ENIX invites Warriors of Light to enjoy all-new Endwalker footage with the newly released FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker Official Benchmark software. Featuring actual in-game areas and character models, the benchmark software gives players a chance to test their computer’s ability to run FINAL FANTASY XIV ahead of the expansion’s scheduled launch on November 23, 2021.
The benchmark software also features an updated character creator feature, which includes the option to create male Viera characters: a new playable race to be added in Endwalker. The appearance data of characters created through the benchmark can also be saved for use in the retail version of the game or selected as the character to appear in benchmark cutscenes.
