Where is the Heavensward Benchmark?

Where IS IT Square-Enix Where is it WE WANT IT

But seriously, looking forward to it and felt the need to say something. ;)

(come on we gotta get our fix making fashionable Lizard Girls & Boys )

I think they said it would release with or shortly after the full Heavensward trailer (mid April).

Awww, mid.

...well I guess technically that's in the vicinity of next week.

That is this weekend ^^ 11th of April, 7:30pm JST!

The 11th, huh? That's surprisingly soon.

Looking forward to checking those fancy Lizard-folk out but I'm unlikely to change from Midlander for Heavensward.

I've got my fantasia all ready for early access and I've been working on ideas for a male Au Ra WHM ^^, can't wait till the benchmark cause then I can finally see what sort of hair they will get and how I can make his face :D.

Personally I'm still not sure if I am, but that's part of why I'm all stoked for it. Quite honestly, I like how Yugiri looks and I want to see what the artists here did with customization on those kinds of features.

About when in April are you planning to release the benchmark software for Heavensward?

Y: I think we'll be publishing it perhaps around Niconico Super Conference (April 25-26) as part of our exhibit.

I get that. They're all shiny and new so I'm super excited to check 'em out.

Also any new hairstyles they have might make their way over to the other races. Which would be cool.

Even if I wind up not being very taken with 'em, more variety is always good.

Ya know the Collector's Edition includes a free Fantasia. In case you didn't know..makes sense to just get CE if your going to change races.
Only 10$ more than the price of standard edition plus a fantasia... and that way you also get the mount/helm/minion! :D

If you already knew all this disregard. =^__^=

But you can race change to Au Ra in early access if you already have fantasia otherwise you have to wait till official launch to change cause thats when you get the goodies in game as as they said they were ready for early access I suppose they want to change asap :)

For that you need to wait for the official release of the expansion. I want to be Au Ra asap.

There's a Liveletter this weekend, the 11th, which is supposed to have Heavenward's trailer. I assume the benchmark date will be officially announced during that. I think if it had been coming up this weekend, they would have at least hinted to it a bit more.

I purchased a phial of Fantasia in December for my Behemoth character (to answer the debate between Au Ra or Miqo'te). Before they announced what was going to be in the CE. I'm kicking myself a bit 'cause if I had known that they were going to toss a Fantasia in there, I would have used that $10 to get a minion.

Now let's all sing the official Heavensward Benchmark theme!

"Let me make an Au'Ra,
Let me make an Au'Ra right now!

NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW!

Release the damn benchmark right now~!"

well reading the information about live stream this Saturday the Heavensward movie will be released, however the benchmark if it is that great but if it's not then I won't be released until the final weekend of April as has been reported on a couple earlier posts.

My 30th vial of Fantasia is ready for the benchmark :o
