This morning Square Enix have released the official character creation benchmark. This is the second benchmark they have released and is designed to allow you to create characters outside of the game client. You can then save these characters for use in beta phase 4, early release and the launch version.

Along with the character creation it appears there is also a cutscene which will measure your computer’s performance just like the first benchmark. I have not been able to try out the benchmark myself due to being at work so can’t give any more info on this.

Full details on the benchmark can be found here or you can download it directly from this file link.
