Back at the end of last month, Square Enix announced the “Minimum System Requirements” via their website and press release.   The information was mostly met with silence, as the benchmark had already been announced and more people seemed interested in the Garlond Goggles and Onion Helm available with pre-orders.  Now comes Square with more information – the “Recommended System Requirements” – what’s recommended to “run the game smoothly.”  While before some of this may have been leaked, the below is now the official specs and text from Square.

Interesting to note that the “smooth playing experience” actually has “Ambient Occlusion” set to “Off” and “Shadow Detail” on “Standard” – leading one to assume that these settings can be increased to yield an even “smoother” experience.  Time will tell.
