Next-gen Square Enix engine (article)

[Dyne]

well remember guys, SE also announced they started working on another large scale MMO. im wondering if they are gonna use this new engine with the new MMO as well as making the new MMO more of a dynamic hack and slash to keep up with the trends.

Hmm, if SE is already working on another large scale MMO, it sounds like plan B when they scrap this game lol.

They said they wanted maybe 3-5 MMOs running simultaneously. I can't be absolutley sure but i seem to remember an article somewhere where they expressed interest in developing MMO's along the lines of army/fighter jets/shooting, stuff like that. I highly doubt they'd be so bold as to make another MMORPG tailored to the same niche as XI/XIV this soon, it'd be madness given what has unfolded over the past year.

It really does baffle me as to what type of MMO they could be bringing out next... if it turns out to be Dragon Quest Online, I'd go crazy! But yeah, I'm hoping it's nothing along the same vein as FFXIV. Front Mission Online would be pretty interesting and different.

If DQ Online comes out I'll definitely give it a try lol, wonder if they did... if Toriyama Akira gonna do all the art lol

Big time Front Mission fan also but Front Mission Evolved hit me hard... if that's what they think of multiplayer, or even as MMO they have a lot to work on... that game was really really bad... nothing like all the other Front Mission series... gave me a shock.

Romancing Saga Online FTW!! lol j/k

Hehe, Dragon Quest is admittedly, my most favorite RPG series hands down =) I absolutely loved DQIX and so looking forward for any news on DQX. Some folks seem to complain about Toriyama's art... but I think his work has such charm to it!

When Tetsuya Nomura said there wouldn't be any Final Fantasy Versus XIII at Tokyo Game Show, he meant it. The long awaited companion project to Final Fantasy XIII (or maybe Final Fantasy XIII-2?) was nowhere to be found at the show, not even in sneak trailer form.

It seems that Nomura was saving an update on the game for Famitsu. The magazine has an interview with Nomura this week, revealing a few intriguing details.

Here's some of what's surfaced from the magazine so far:

Nomura says that he recently did a walkthrough of the full world map. He also did a check on the game's dungeons and the side paths in the game's towns. He was impressed with how expansive everything is.

When Square Enix announced the development of its "Luminous" next generation engine, some very cruel people joked that maybe Versus would be updated to use it. Actually, the game does use the lightning technology from Luminous, Nomura reveals. However, the game also uses a game specific engine that's specialized for action.

With Versus, Nomura promises a Final Fantasy like you've never seen before.

Nomura also commented on Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, saying the game is 60 to 70 percent complete and due out in Spring 2012.

We'll hopefully get more details from Nomura's interview once the usual suspects get their copies of Famitsu in a few hours. Check back later in the day!
