Now I know you are just throwing the word engine around to look smart, the engine for a game is client side, it has nothing to do with how many instances of a dungeon there is.

The problem with FFXI is they had very limited capacity for instances, so there was only one instance of each dungeon therefore only one person could enter, in the modern day when we use separate instance servers, have huge server capacity we can have many many more, but there are still limits, try getting everyone on your data center to join the same dungeon, and watch as the game is unable to reserve the instance.
