I am curious about the new rendering engine we are getting. I already spent money 2 years ago on components just to run this game at 20 fps (which is ridiculous already, because I can run Assassin's Creed 2 with all of Venice on the horizon at 35 fps - not that AC2 is a good game mind you, but it is a good graphics benchmark).

Since A Realm Reborn is obviously better looking than the current version of FFXIV visually, at least in terms of complex geometry on screen, does that mean we'll need beefier equipment to run it? Or is the rendering more efficient on current equipment, allowing for the addition of the eye-candy in the demonstrations.
