Square Enix presents benchmark software for the Endwalker expansion of Final Fantasy 14, with which players can test their PC suitability. Furthermore, a roadmap was shown that lists the upcoming content until the Endwalker release.

Fans of the Final Fantasy series can look forward to new content. Square Enix announced their benchmark software for the Endwalker expansion on July 12th, which will be released for Final Fantasy 14 on November 23rd, 2021. This software is designed to provide insight into areas and character models from Endwalker, which players can use to test how well Final Fantasy 14 is running on their machines before the expansion is released.

They also come up with a new playable race, whose characters can already be created with the benchmark software. The data on the appearance of the characters that were generated via the software should be saved for expansion or selected for benchmark video sequences.
