As we all know, E3 is going on right now. So it's time to update this side of the forum with FFXIV specific information.
Footage
To start with, we have some new footage. A new trailer, and a look at the new (and much improved) version of the battle system.

For all of you that have not bothered to check out any of the leaked alpha client videos; the battle system was very slow, and you had to wait for your action bar to fill up before you could do anything. With this new one, you have a stamina bar that depletes when using abilities but is always gradually regenerating. This will allow players to string together different actions much more fluidly and speedy.
FFXIV Benchmark
You can now download a benchmark for FFXIV on the PC. I think a lot of people will suddenly realise how out of date their computers are. But do not worry! By the time this game comes out, newer hardware will be much cheaper than it is now.
