Bless the developers behind Final Fantasy XIV, for they've always provided benchmarking software leading into each of their releases to help PC gamers prepare. Not only are they great opportunities to test out our PC hardware, but they're fun introductions to upcoming content too. This weekend saw the release of benchmarking software for the Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward expansion, which is available to download right now.

The benchmark will give players a tour of Heavensward's news content, showing off each of the three new jobs from the expansion, giving an up close and personal look at dozens of flying mounts, guiding us through new areas, and of course taking us into the action of Heavensward's dungeons. All the while showcasing the various DirectX  11 visuals of the game, so long as one's video card supports it.

Gameplay isn't the only thing showcased in the Heavensward benchmark software, however. It also comes bundled with the MMO's character creation system, including the all new playable race of the Au Ra. These horned humanoids are rumored to come from the far eastern continent of Othard and yes, if you were wondering, they are part dragon. Fullfill all of your dragonkin fantasies. Final Fantasy. It's all connected.

Of course, MMOs and benchmarking aren't for everyone, plus Final Fantasy XIV has plenty of PlayStation players as well who will want to join in on the fun. Luckily Square Enix released the benchmark teaser as a trailer too. That way everyone can join in on the authentic franchise fun.

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward will be released on June 23.
