I believe this is currently the most important issue that could prevent a success for the future of FFXIV on PC and probably on PS3.

I have checked what could have caused the lack of communication from the team on this issue.

To start with, game engine is a pride for the company.

Secondly, if you check wikipedia for Crystal Tools, you will find Taku Murata as Director, not Yoshihisa Hashimoto. A simple Linkedin search is the best update you can find on Taku Murata current status. Taku Murata is now Sr. Director at Square Enix.

As shown on the link below, Yoshihisa Hashimoto is now Square Enix chief technical officer and Luminous Studio director. One thing for sure, he is not 100% dedicated to improve crystal tool engine. So who really is then? Who has the responsibility of improving/correcting the engine?

Please give us an update, we need hope... I feel like this is going to be unanswered sadly.
