FFXIV Benchmark Update and NEW Release Date [FFXIV 7.0 Dawntrail]

da tril's Benchmark was downloadable a little while ago but was met with some issues that was covered in a previous video that you can find in the description pin comment below but the summary of it was it basically didn't meet a lot of people's standards and Yoshi P said hey we're going to be doing an update to this Benchmark for Dawn Trail what I'm going to be covering now is Yoshi P's followup after that and what the plans are for the Benchmark the letter from Yoshi P starts by saying hello everyone this is nooki Yoshida producer and director of FY 14 we recently announced an update for the Dr Trail Benchmark and since then we have identified the areas in need of adjustments as well as the estimated workload and schedule which I would like to share in this follow-up after careful examination of the feedback from all regions we are now working on improvements adjustments and Bug fixes we are making these adjust these refinements not only in preparation for da tril's release but also to apply as many of the updates as possible to The Benchmark the first section is review and reconfiguration of character Creations environmental parameters Yoshi P says the character creation menu various environmental parameters such as lighting positioning of light sources weather Etc will be reconfigured to match the upcoming first round of graphical updates we completed the bulk of this on Saturday April 27th which several of our lead artists are currently reviewing and fine-tuning once they are finished I will be conducting my final inspections after Friday May 3rd the various revisions of environmental parameters will be applied to not only the Benchmark but to the game itself from dawn tril onwards as well my very brief commentary is seeing this and the main character creation in the game is actually very impactful and I think that that is going to help out a lot of people seeing these improvements come to the main game is really really I see as a win-win the second section is addressing feedback and issues related to certain data and processes Yoshi P then says for the section we piled a list of feedback from all regions and categorized the points as bugs data issues or sections in need of further attention we then decided a direction for each point which our character artists and rendering programmers are now correcting and adjusting accordingly concurrently several of our lead artists are reviewing and fine-tuning the finished data the development team's tasks are scheduled to be completed on Wednesday May 15th and my final data review will take place on Thursday May 16th where I will be thoroughly communicating anything that catches my attention on the spot for immediate correction given the immense amount of data in need of review the QA team's final inspection will require about another five business days after the development team has finished their part the third section is expected release timing for the updated Dawn Trail Benchmark Yoshi P says the tasks outlined in points 1 and two are already underway but because we are handling a significant amount of data to address as much of your feedback as possible we will require some time before the updated Benchmark is ready for release my current estimate for replacing the Benchmark is the latter half of the week of May 23rd but I am unable to provide a concrete data date yet for which I apologize having said that our players graciously provided a tremendous amount of feedback with screenshots which helped us quickly determine our direction for fixes and adjustments as well as identify points to address such as male rothgar having a significantly larger backside that enhancement is is going to be very important to me thank you Yosh P we hope to return this favor by addressing as many points as possible and I would like I would appreciate it if you could bear with us a little while longer as we solidify a release date for the updated Benchmark Yoshi pan concluded by saying our reviews and Finishing Touches for the release version of dawn Trail are going smoothly and while they are being carried out in tandem with the additional tasks for the graphical update mentioned above rest assured that our development operations and QA teams and I are collectively giving our all and then in Brackets saying ideally I would have liked to share some screenshots of the review process but as you can imagine I was unfortunately short on time and braces then YP says I will be sure to report back once we confirm further details about our progress and release date for the updated Benchmark Neo kosida Final Fantasy 14 producer and director okay so why is this important because a lot of people are like okay I saw my character in The Benchmark I saw a few new actions that we're going to see and uh yeah okay that's great uh why do people care so much about a benchmark so I'm going to be very brutely honest here I think it's that The Benchmark itself is important to make sure that hey your computer's going to be up to specs for the brand new like expansion and to see your characters like it's a very exciting period of time I genuinely loved seeing my character I think rothgar look absolutely amazing I think seeing my character in the actual gameplay footage doing combat looked great but the thing about this that actually matters to me as now I guess an adult gamer um is rather than the Benchmark itself because the Benchmark itself I've seen it I've done it I don't think I will read download another Benchmark I might just to entertain myself and see if anything changed with my character I doubt it but um I don't think that I will but the main thing the main takeaway from this is that the Final Fantasy 14 development team and I've coined this term on my channel for so many years now the Final Fantasy 14 development team is a blessing and that they have taken a ton of feedback and that they have now Incorporated it into editing this Benchmark which is great and likewise also taken these learnings and are now applying it into the game the main game and things like in point one how they said that the character creation in the actual main game is actually going to be updated and seeing the care that the developers take with everything that they do and that they take the feedback and that they are incorporating it into making the game and the Benchmark as good as possible to people is such an important point that I cannot I do not think you can be stressed enough that this is one of the defining characteristics about why Final Fantasy 14 is one of the best games and why Final Fantasy 14 overcame the 1.0 rough phase that we all know Lally had the Calamity the moon and everything baham anyone who's played this game for long enough has a pretty solid idea that the world was literally Kaboom but this spirit this spirit is really what has gotten me interested in this game for so long it's that the developers care things like the live letters Yoshi P going up on in like a gunbreaker costume or a Reaper costume or this year he went up in what costume the amazing Viper costume like unfortunately we have missed Yoshi p and the dancer outfit right that would be an amazing meme for the rest of forever but the reality is this is what actually matters with the da Trail Benchmark I like I said before I personally don't think I'm even going to download this updated one because I think I've seen enough for myself and that I'm really at the point where I will see my character in the end product when I'm actually playing the actual game when on Trails released the actual like full version and that I don't really think I need to see more I would be shocked if I make a video at that time following up but the main thing is the developers are taking action and I think I think that it is so important to take a moment and to like really appreciate that because how many game studios have we seen how many how many teams have we seen that just don't follow through and that's that's such an issue with people these days is there's a lot of people who talk a whole lot of and have a whole lot of Bluster and they will say this and then and this and then and hype themselves up and they'll be oh I'm a hype beast and then they just suck and it's just like it's so refreshing to be a player of a game where like the team actually gives a and I think that's the main takeaway of this video the main takeaway of this thing they give a and because they give a I give a enough to do a video on it and talk about it thank Yoshi and the dev team as always you are Class Act I genuinely appreciate you
