Phantasy Star Online 2 Character Creator Released

What graphic cards are you running?

i have a gtx 560 oc'd, but after i changed the settings n ran the benchmark again i got around 4500 or so. ran about 60fps average.

Wish I could get this to work it just crashes after it shows all the logos I've tried lowering it to 1 but it didn't help.

On 3 I get about a score of 1k (averaging 30FPS) and on 1 I get a score of about 4K (60FPS). Not great, but considering how old my computer is, I'll take it as long as I can play.

All i get is crashes...
Character Creation and FPS test dont work at all :/

I just ran the benchmark on default settings and let it just go for the entire duration--ended up with a score of 36,500--something with an average FPS of 150+.

This was on the default setting of "3"; I hope it doesn't come out as a "bragging"post--I just wanted to give people a rough estimation of how high the numbers can get; the following is my computer specs:

i7 2600k 3.4 GHZ overclocked to 4.0 GHZ

1TB 7200 RPM Seagate HDD
8GB 1600MHZ Corsair Vengeance RAM
EVGA NVidia Geforce 560ti Super OC DS (this can be further overclocked, but one of my two fans on the GPU is malfunctioning at higher temperatures so I'm waiting for an RMA card before I try doing anything risky).

As you can see, while this rig has been able to run most games (lol, not you FFXIV!) at max settings...it is far from being an 'uber' rig; could use an 120GB SSD (or any for that matter), maybe another 8GB of RAM to bling out the rig (yeah I know, no real beneficial gain), and a 570/680 to really flesh things out.

Finally, but not least...ran the benchmark again at "5" and got a score of 21,770 with an average FPS of 120.

For those who have yet to run the benchmark, or want to build a rig specifically for this game--well, here you go. These are my specs...not sure if I ran the benchmark right--the number seems way off compared to a majority of people, but then again I have no idea how the hardware looks for others.

Happy Easter!

everyone should be running the game fine with a dual-core a decent video card n atleast 4gb ram..game is not a power house so it shouldnt need the best specs..if u can get an average of 30fps then ur fine if ur lower then u def need to upgrade either ur vid card or processor..if it helps out maybe they can run a game booster to free up some ram. n close down stuff u dont use maybe that helps abit. n happy easter!..haha

yea me too It just says the program stops working then shuts down =[

Yeah, I defiantly need to upgrade my computer. I couldn't even get the creator to run in the first place. Ah well, at least I know this one won't handle it before buying the game.

I wonder if the game actually needs a 64 bit capable cpu, we'll know eventually what the offical specs are

My cheap rig:

OS: Windows 7 64bit

Processor: Pentium D (dual core) E5700 @3Ghz

Graphic Card: ATI Radeon HD 4870

RAM: 8GB DDR3

The following scores are for all settings, and the FPS often go higher than what I mention here. Those are just average values.

Setting 1: 18540 benchmark, FPS at 160.

Setting 2: 6418 benchmark, FPS at 120.

Setting 3: 4701 benchmark, FPS at 90.

Setting 4: 1889 benchmark, FPS at 60.

Setting 5: 1768 benchmark, FPS at 50.

Personally, I'm more than satisfied with those numbers. To me, anything above 30 FPS is concern-free, and the game already looks nice on the lowest setting. And my rig is nothing spectacular (by spectacular, I mean expensive), so to anyone who'll probably need to buy a new machine, fear not, you won't need a 4-digit budget, or anything remotely close to that. Games these days are more in need of a nice graphics card, not a processor. And you can get an ATI 6770 for relatively cheap, these days.

As for the character creation, I found it to succeed my expectations. Already seen videos, but nothing compares to trying it for yourself. And yes... implementing Ctrl+Z is undoubtedly a genious move.

Nice. How much did the CPU and GPU cost ?
Sure, that's a nice barometer for the type of rig we should aim for, but if it's gonna be extremely expensive, then I don't see the need to mention it. It would fall under the obvious assumption that: if you spend a crap-ton of money on your PC, you're gonna get stellar results in your games... duh.
But anyway, congratulations to you, and happy belated Easter.

My computer :
Windows 7 64 bit, AMD Quad-Core A6-3410MX APU 1,6 GHz, 8 Go DDR3 HD Radeon 6755G2
Why did I get only 623 benchmark with settings 2 at best (average fps ~25-30) ?
It seems that the benchmark only detect my second graphic card at the end (HD 6520G)
(sorry for my poor english)

after a test on my old computer I have more than 8000 points (even if the computer is less powerful) :s

Maybe that's it. Your HD 6520, all things considered, is a mid/low range card. Thus, even if it's recent, it doesn't have what it takes for gaming.</br>
</br>
Here's a benchmark comparison between your 6520 and my 4870:</br>
</br>
ATI HD 6520G</br>
ATI HD 4870</br>
</br>
Like I previously said, a good graphics card is pretty much all one needs to play a game, these days. The rest of your components should give no problem whatsoever. Also, respect for having an AMD processor. </br>
</br>
My advice? Get rid of that 6520, it's not doing anything besides sucking electricity out of your power supply. Your 6755 will do the job just fine on it's own, either for PSO2, or anything else, for that matter.</br>
</br>
Hope that turned out useful for ye. Lemme know if you got better results! </br>

PS: Your english is fine, don't worry about it.

hey! dont sweat it. you will run the game perfectly fine i play high end games with 30 fps all the time. all you need to do to get smooth performance is turn down the resolution a lot and if you want, increase the game priorty.

make sure you are not running in full screen cause it will crash. also, make sure your computer is up todate

!!!Attention!!!

To those who are getting rather low scores, try lowering your screen resolution (for PSO2, not your PCs)! This may seem ridiculous, but I switched from 1280x720 to 1024x600, and I got a 50% increase on my scores!

Barely had 1900 points on setting 4, and now I almost have 3000! For settings 3, I got myself over 6500, when I previously had 4700-something.

And to be honest, the game's still stunning with that res. I might keep it when the full game comes out. I personally prefer to play MMOs in window mode, so I can look up info, and the like, so this one doesn't bother me one bit.

!!!!!! A better ATTENTION !!!!!!!
CLosed Beta e-mails have been sent out!!!!
I got mine and i look forward to testing!!!!

Just got mine!!!!!!!! So sweet! can't really understand the details within the email, so if anyone manages to translate the Japanese post it!!
