Final Fantasy XIV, also known as Final Fantasy XIV Online, is the fourteenth installment in the Final Fantasy series, due for release in 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows. Like Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XIV is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. The game takes place in a land called Hydaelyn, mainly in a region named Eorzea, which will have an aesthetic blend of sci-fi and classic fantasy elements. (Wikipedia)

The benchmark shows a battle on the high seas. Great graphics and sound. Long running time but entertaining throughout. The user can select different characters to "star" in the benchmark which doesn't make much of a difference, but is a welcome option. Nice graphic meter showing real-time benchmark performance, but couldn't find a way to hide it.

Gundam Network Operation 3 is a strategic MMORPG based on the ever-popular Mobile Suit Gundam anime universe. The benchmark is 60 seconds of a battle between various Gundam characters in space. Start the benchmark by selecting the second option on the menu, and then which test you want to run (2D, 3D Low, 3D Mid, 3D High). Press the button in the middle to start - note that you may have to do all of this twice as the game may turn on anti-aliasing for you). Benchmark gives the result as frame rate only. Nice graphics, though small, and appropriate music.
