    Benchmark of FFXIV 2.0, can we have it?

    according to the official Roadmap the new engine should be already finished. I'm curious about the new features and new capabilities

    Check back around E3 or September/October. The Engine is done, the toolsets (part of the engine) are not nor is testing and optimization done yet according to the map.

    I'm sure curious as to what the specs required to run the new engine are. Are they greater than the current one? It sounds like a silly question but the amount of people getting the game now or just before v2.0 read the system requirements on the box, any changes SE make won't be reflected on the box at the moment. :P

    It won't be greater. In fact, I remember reading that more PCs will be able to handle it.

    At this point i would like to see a video, I really doubt it going to be much better if at all.

    The way Yoshi-p discribes it is that it looks basically the same with better optimsation for lower end PC's and more on screen.

    I just hope they have shadows on everything.

    yea, a video would be nice too, but the benchmark gives a lot of new information about performance =)

    He did say it was going to run Dx10, and maybe eventually Dx11. I'd have to say that it will probably look better, yet it was also said that it will run smoothly on a PS3 and PCs up to par to a PS3.

    Im pretty pumped mainly for the optimization, im running a pretty high end gaming PC and i still hic-up on a lot of parts in this game; like when players are loading in uldah.
