Go Download the Last Remnant Benchmark. Also, Release Date

Square Enix has just put the benchmark for The Last Remnant up for free download via the game's official site.

For those unfamiliar with PC benchmarks, they are mini-programs that run the final game's engine in various modes in order for users to see how the game will look and run on their PC in various modes. Though the practice seems rare in North America, it is done frequently in Japan when a company releases a game that needs a medium to high-end graphics card.

Interested parties can download the benchmark for free here, though some users may need to run AppLocale in order to use it (I'm not sure).

If you do download the benchmark, please leave a comment to tell me your impressions.

Square Enix has also announced that a trial version of the game will be available for download "soon," though no dates have been given.

It has been announced that The Last Remnant will be available for Windows PC on April 9, 2009 (probably worldwide). It is already available on Xbox 360. There is still no date for the PlayStation 3 version.
