ffxiv_future: New Development Engine (Luminous or Cry Tools 3?), UI Picture etc.

[Synfrag]

Good post but unfortunately I highly doubt you will get any response on it. If they aren't announcing publicly what engine the new version is being developed on they sure aren't going to do it in here.

We are all praying for DX10/11 but I think they would have mentioned it already if it were happening.

Best of luck though!

It would make sense for them to announce Luminous if it is said engine especially since they are touting a 30% reduction in development time using said engine.

If it is Luminous then it would make sense that DX11 works, that should also fix the AA/AO issues as well and most of the heat issues with the new client.

I guess from a stockholder view of things I am curious how XIV 1.0 even got the green light using Crystal Tools if it was such a bad engine to begin with. Judging by what this development team is saying the engine is so bad it seems like SE wasted there money developing anything for it aside from FFXIII which was straight to PS3/360.

Idk as a consumer I guess I just want assurances and technical details that these issues will be resolved using the new engine, or at least some type of technical explanation on how they intend to resolve these issues in the 2.0 brand of product.
