Quick and simple video this time around! With the release of the Benchmark Trailer for Dawntrail, I wanted to slow down some footage and offer some idea for what could be happening behind the scenes of these new job actions! We’re breaking down the Dawntrail benchmark trailer today!
Please keep in mind that Final Fantasy XIV is a live game that is constantly undergoing adjustments. All information in this video is subject to change by the development team of FFXIV.

I realized after the fact that I completely missed the Scholar attack that happens during the Dark Knight finisher! 6:33
It looks to me like either a large AoE attack, maybe an upgraded Art of War, or a new debuff ala Chain Strategem. Perhaps the fabled AoE Chain Strategem? 🤔
I think you missed the scholar after the Dark Knight.
great video! I didn't even notice nidhogg's head in the dragoon animation
I can't wait to use "spread flower petals" on my white mage! I hope it's a party damage buff. WHM doesn't need more heals.
Is it me or that all the spells effect are now using vectorised graphics similar to the Genshin Impact-ish? Looks more obvious on summoning effects, picto’s paint, etc. While it looks clean cut, it also looks less realistic.
Great vid, thank you
new drk skill just looks like an enhanced 123 combo, the movements of the character are similar to the current 123 combo, my guess would be after using delirium or shadowbringer your next 123 is enhanced.
You can also see a second new monk skill being used behind the SMN's new skill. It looks like an uppercut with some fiery dragon effect.
Hellfrog: Large.
I'm just going to throw out my prediction for what that AST ability is. My totally shot in the dark guess is that's a form of upgraded Aspected Helios. I think the animation and effects are similar enough and I doubt that the two Aspected spells are going to get thrown out by the rework.
What’s fun about the benchmarks and the camera always moving is you can catch stuff in the background
GNB definitely did fated circle and then an ogcd, so continuation just like burst strike got in Endwalker
MNK does some kind of flaming dragon head/claw and then a tiger head, but with the animation for twin snakes and assumedly dragon kick previously, so new base gcd upgrades?
Wuk lamat at the very end does the pose for vengeance, so we might be getting tank cooldown upgrades
MCH actually uses chain saw right before, and then reassemble followed by the big saw, so maybe a drill upgrade, maybe some combo, maybe a “reassemble -> super attack”
