Is most of FFXIV's failings due to their choice of engine?

TSo it's ok to use the same videos to bash FFXIV, but it's not ok to critically look at their actual flaws? LOL.
Talk about biased.

Who's bashing anything, I'm simply stating what I see and you are the one aggressively defending FFXIV.

Fact is we both play FFXIV we know what the game is capable of, looking at a video and saying oh "that's it, whats the fuss about?" is very short sighted because as far as I know neither of us have access to mess around with Blade and Souls settings.

Sure I can look at that video and say environments look better, lighting looks better, shadows look better, because I have actual hands on experience with FFXIV.

I'm not the one being bias here lol.

By the way, Se actually experimented with the UE3 (on The Last Remnant). Quite obviously the expriment has been discarded. With good reason.

Indeed they didn't know how to take advantage of it, Lost Odyssey also used UE3 and did much better job at it, although granted it did have a few issues. (but MistWalker has a fraction of the employs and resources SE have)

You can't blame the engine for a lack of development knowledge.
