With the Benchmark now available, players have been busy testing their PCs, and some have already discovered an interesting new detail within the Benchmark!
Many players have gone over the Dawntrail Benchmark cutscenes, particularly the gear and weapons that can be equipped on the character featured in the cutscene.
In doing so, some have noticed that certain Viper weapons bear a resemblance to older weapons. For instance, as mentioned by Eksu Plosion on Twitter/X, different weapons for the Dreadwyrm and Omega sets can be seen in the Benchmark.
The pressing question is: does this mean we will be able to obtain weapons from old ultimate fights or other older raids for the new Jobs?
Yoshi-P did mention a desire to re-evaluate the rewards from various content, suggesting this could be a possibility. It would be a welcome addition to acquire new job weapons, even if it is just for the purpose of using them as weapon glams, as some of them look really nice.
It is of course possible that these are merely new leveling weapons, but for now, the question remains unanswered! As the community speculates, only time will reveal the true nature of these newly found details.

April 14th marks the day you can join fellow adventurers in preparing for the next chapter of FF14. Get the Dawntrail Benchmark software and see if your rig is up to the challenge!
During the 14-hour stream and Live Letter, Yoshi-P announced the official benchmark times and dates. So let's go over everything you need to know about it!
The official Benchmark software will be released on April 14th at 12 am PT / 3 am ET.
By using the Benchmark software, you will have the opportunity to test your computer and ensure it can run the game with its new and updated graphics.
The Dawntrail Benchmark will feature the new graphical updates and a character creation tool that includes female Hrothgar! You will be able to save the appearance of your female Hrothgar and use it directly when you switch your race at launch.
Keep in mind, though, that the Benchmark is a special piece of software that you will need to download; it is not a trial version and will not allow you to play Final Fantasy XIV. It will simply run models, effects, and more to test your computer, informing you if your PC can handle the new graphics and the settings at which you can play Dawntrail.
You can check out the Benchmark trailer below.
The software can be downloaded on the official website here: Dawntrail Benchmark
Once you have access to the Benchmark, follow these instructions:
Download the ZIP file. Uncompress the ZIP file. Execute the EXE file. Select the language to display, read through the Software License Agreement, and use the software. Start the Benchmark. If your PC cannot fulfill the system requirements to run it, the program will automatically close. This means you will need to update your PC before the launch if you want to play Dawntrail. After accepting the terms of the Software License Agreement, a launcher window for the benchmark will appear. Here, you can adjust various settings for the cutscenes used to measure system performance Change the graphics settings to the level at which you would like to benchmark your system. Start cutscene playback and measure your system's performance. When the cutscenes end, the launcher will reappear and display your benchmark results.
After testing, feel free to share your Benchmark scores on social media! We encourage you to participate in the test, as it is a great way to determine whether your computer can handle the new graphics and how well it performs.

During the Letter from the Producer Live LXXX and 14-hour broadcast, Yoshi-P shared several details about the upcoming expansion, Dawntrail. Here is everything you need to know.
Firstly, we want to give a shoutout to Toshio Murouchi, also known as Foxclon, FFXIV's Global Community Producer, for his extraordinary cosplay of Zodiark and Hydaelyn! He is likely the first to cosplay both characters simultaneously, and the result is truly remarkable, as you can see:
Now, let's go over all the important details shared during the Live Letter:
The Dawntrail Benchmark software releases on April 14th! You will be able to test how your PC handles the new graphics. Graphics Update: Yoshi-P presented an hour-long showcase of the new graphic updates. He covered multiple settings, areas, NPCs, and more to demonstrate the extensive details of the graphical update and its implications.
For example, the way the wind moves will now vary depending on the weather or when a character interacts with it. Material Reflection: Gear material reflection in light will differ based on whether it is fabric or metal. Enhanced Settings: New options have been added for lighting, shadows, and more. Zone Density: Expect richer environments with no more low-poly objects; even small items have been updated. Performance Settings: AMD FSR 1.0 and NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 performance settings are now available. 3D Graphics Resolution Scaling: On Windows and Mac platforms, when AMD FSR is selected, resolution scaling can be adjusted between 50-100%. Dynamic Resolution: This feature will automatically adjust screen resolution when the frame rate drops below the desired threshold, maintaining both resolution quality and frame rate at higher levels than before. Console Updates: Both PS4 and Xbox Series S will receive the graphical update, though some features may be limited to reduce stress on the consoles.
New Climbing Spot: A new climbing area has been introduced in Tural.
7.0 Blacklist Improvements: Enhanced Blacklist Functionality, Mute list added, term filter added, estate expulsion feature, Enhanced Lodestone Privacy Settings. Blacklisted characters will be visible in certain situations, like dungeons or raids.
Following the previous updates and improvements, the Yo-Kai Watch event is making a comeback on April 24th!
More details will be released on a later date.
Lastly, Yoshi-P shared the detailed schedule leading up to the Dawntrail Release:
The FFXVI event ends on May 8th.
