Our PS3 character appearances from the beta are supposed to save in the Saved Data folder under FFXIV. Should be possible to load it up again for the open beta client. As long as you didn't delete anything in that folder, you'll have that to work off of. But no actual benchmark to play around with in the mean time.

I'm a PS3 player, but my everyday computer is a Mac. I'm horrible with technology stuff. On the download page, it says I need Windows Vista/7/8 to run the benchmark. My intention was to use the character creator to fine tune my appearance for the game. Does this mean I'm out of luck on my Mac? I'm a moron with this kinda thing.

would have been nice to check out what af looks like on other jobs with this but oh well, hate that the clipping issue for the male miq'ote tail is still present in all gear upto 50

The game hasn't been developed for Mac, only PCs. If you intended to use the benchmark, you'd have to have a PC copy of the game to load the appearance. I don't think there is a way to port the appearance over to the PS3 version. So yes, you'd have to buy a Windows PC in order to run the benchmark and the game itself.
What's great about this benchmark, you can create a character and then watch them in the benchmark CGI to get a feel for what it will be like instead of just standing and posing.

They did some incredible optimization since the last benchmark. I went from about 2500 on high to just under 4000 on my laptop. On low I hit just under 7000 when it used to be under 5000. Color me impressed.
I have to say, the addition of laptop-centric settings for both the Standard and High options is a very nice touch. I was also able to bump things up as a result of having settings tailored to being a laptop user (higher resolution, better graphical options, etc.), and still eked out a 3550 when I didn't think it would be possible.

Unfortunately yes. I'm not sure that the character creator benchmark will run in emulation software, I'll download it on my Windows 7 Parallels 8 VM and let you know if it works or not. You could also install Windows using Bootcamp if you have enough HDD space and a spare license, unfortunately if you don't have that the cost is probably prohibitive to actually doing it.

My score
Not what I hoped for, but I'm cool with this.
People with 670 gtx cards are able to push past 10k on Max settings.

Thanks for the info , I checked my 15yr old email address and nothing about this has been sent out. I guess word of mouth is the way this is going to spread.

So is there a way to upload the creation to your account somehow? I'm asking because I'm playing on the PS3 for now and would like to fool around with it and be able to save somehow. I suppose I can play around with it regardless on my PC, but I was hoping for a PS3 solution.
For PS3 users who want to play around with the character creator on the PC - simple solution is just to write down the options that you decide to stick with. There is no way currently (correct me if I am wrong) to save your entry from the PC benchmark and load it to the PS3. So simply write down the values you have selected (example: Height - 50, Face - 6, etc. etc.) so that you can re-create once the open beta starts.
I honestly didn't realize there was the save function in Phase3 beta until after I had completed my character creation, so I had already written it all down just in case.

Thanks! Gonna take all the time to get this right!

I have absolutely no idea if it is possible, but can you pull the appearance data from where they are located on your PS3 to your PC and see if it loads?
I just got home and started the download. It's......incredibly slow. Is it getting hammered or something? I've been at 37 minutes to go for the last 10 minutes. Did anyone else have trouble with DL speed?
Took me about 6 hours to download the benchmark.
Pretty pleased when I did though. ON max settings 1920x1080, my laptop scored over 7,200 up from around 5,000 last time round so they must have been working on optimisation.
System:
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130318-1533)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3740QM CPU @ 2.70GHz
32650.309MB
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000(VRAM 4042 MB) 9.17.0010.2932
(not sure why it says it was using the Intel graphics, I actually have a NVIDIA GFORCE 680M - I don't suppose I could get that score using integrated graphics).

So the first Score I posted in my top post was with AMD Catalyst 13.5. Got an Email from the site with with a download for AMD Catalyst 13.8 Beta. First time I tried to run the test with the NEW AMD update, was in Fullscreen. By the second Cutscene my score was at 3k+, but near the End of the the second cutscene, the bench would crash. Tried this 3 times, with the same ending score and crashing at the same spot. Finally switched to Borderless Windowed, Played all the way through, and got the 3.9k score. Would have been interested to know what my new fullscreen score would have been in full. Upgrading to 13.8 beta seems to give quite the boost, but still with some bugs.

Twice now I've tried to download then unzip the benchmark but I'm not getting any luck. I keep getting the same error whenever I try to unzip anything from the files:
C:\Users\Owner\Downloads\FFXIV-ARR-Bench-Character.zip: Either multipart or corrupt
...getting frustrating, especially since I can see it's not something everybody's running into.

Use WinRAR? Try deleting all related files, downloads, then the browser download file(if you use Firefox), and start a fresh download.
He probably is using WinRAR, as that's the error I got when trying to extract it using WinRAR. I just opened it in Windows Explorer instead and everything came out fine.
I don't think the newer version of the benchmark(creation) is using the same AA as the old one(world). FXAA gives the effect of AA without the same hit in performance you would experience if using the other types of AA. They didn't really optimize it as much as they just removed something that most people wouldn't use unless they're running a higher tier GPU(or several in SLI/Xfire).

I had the same thing happen all this morning. Tried:
1. switching from Firefox to internet explorer
2. Updating computer
3. Updating graphics driver
4. Updating direct X
5. Many many re-download attempts
What finally worked for me was changing the Unzip program. What I ended up using was Universal Extractor.

Now that I think about it, what was the application you used to unzip originally? More importantly, when was it actually updated last?
