According to Yoshi-P at NicoNico Chokaigi Event just now, he said the benchmark will go live on Monday in Japan @ 4PM JST.
That's Monday 3AM EDT or 12AM PDT (midnight) in North America.

Can't wait! Do we know if the benchmark will include the Au'Ra character creation? I've seen people discussing it but not sure if it's just speculation...
-
04-25-2015, 11:57 AMKeydahYes. It will. They also said during the conference that the Auri you save in the benchmark can be pulled up in the game once Heavensward releases.Quote:

Yes it is Au Ra, I don't know why people keep putting an apostrophe there where there when there isn't one.
-
04-25-2015, 12:02 PMKeydahThe first forum posts (by players) about them called them "Au'Ra" when they were first announced. It probably stuck for some people as this was some of the first information we received.Quote:

So, it's available in Japan on Monday. What about the rest of the world?

04-25-2015, 12:30 PMVesparEdited my op for ease of understanding. The benchmark website will open at 4PM JST. Generally in the past the benchmark has contained all supported languages so it shouldn't matter where you get it from.Quote:

OP makes it seem like we will have it sunday morning. But it is actually early monday morning. Japan is 13h ahead of EST
-
04-25-2015, 12:40 PMNorthernLadMSPAwesome, thank you! I wasn't around for the ARR benchmark, so I'm not really sure how it works. Will it be something we download from the Lodestone?Quote:

Here's the link the SE's official release of the Benchmark video. If it's a black screen and you see nothing, but here the BGM, just restart your computer or whatever you're watching it on.

At the end of the benchmark they show off a few new skills/lbs.
In order shown:
PLD- New ability combo after Riot Blade?
WAR- New wrath/combo attack?
DRG- New attack/combo attack?
SCH- New (AoE?) heal
BRD- New bow attack?
MNK- Chi blast looking attack/combo?
WHM- Stone 3
BLM- New buff, maybe Elemental Seal, followed by an enhanced flare cast?
SMN- New AoE attack?
PLD- LB?
DRG- New DRG LB3 -
04-25-2015, 02:33 PMVesparThanks! Replaced old video w/ official one.Quote:

will the benchmark available for mac users?

04-26-2015, 08:01 PMSelliFirstly, LOL at the brave soul who opens with Riot Blade. Secondly, this has been speculated for a while so I'm not surprised to see it.Quote:

SCH- New (AoE?) heal
Judging by the animation and how similar it looks to Wind/Venomous Bites I assume it's another DoT.Quote:
BRD- New bow attack?
I kind of hope not, as 2 Stone skills is enough. I was hoping for another water skill or even a fire skill.Quote:
WHM- Stone 3
I think it might be a skill that prevents the caster from losing MP. Giving the ability for BLMs to quad-flare.Quote:
BLM- New buff, maybe Elemental Seal, followed by an enhanced flare cast?
Tri-Disaster 2.0, LOL. I pointed it out to my static SMN and they nearly cried.Quote:
SMN- New AoE attack?
I do believe that's a new buff (like Sentinel).Quote:
PLD- LB?
I don't play the other classes well/enough to have knowledge of their existing skills to formulate what the new ones might be.
Just my 2 cents. I was gonna make my own post about the skills, but then I saw your post so I figured I'd build off what was already here. -
04-26-2015, 10:11 PMViuijiI'd like to know this too. I guess we'll find out very soon :)Quote:

We need a countdown. I was sure the benchmark would be available by now but apparently I still have to wait several hours.
