Next-gen Square Enix engine (article)

[Falcus]

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!

If it did turn out to be DQ Online I'd definitely get that
And I like his art style as well lol plus Slimes are awesome xD

See how the light reflected from the far wall above the opening in photo 18 shines on the passage walls? It's not there in the rendered image 19.

Actually that's entirely possible, their next MMO could be running on the new engine.

This is my guess also. Well, it has been my guess since I first heard about the new MMO, I knew about Luminous before that announcement.

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!
