If the graphics change for the worse, then this will be another huge mistake. Hopefully it will only be worse for low end PCs and PS3 though, but there still seems to be little assurance that graphical quality will stay the same or be better than present.

I hope that they thinks a lot about this. Every game on the earth, even the worst f2p , has dedicated regional server. They can't make this mistake again. It was ok with XI 10 years ago to have server only in jp, the did the BAD mistake to do the same with XIV, but not again with 2.0 please.

I read, in another interview, that SE plans to use a customize version of the Luminous Engine for the PC.

I read, in another interview, that SE plans to use a customize version of the Luminous Engine for the PC.

Yoshi specifically stated they were using neither the crystal tools or the luminous engine, but instead creating a new graphics engine from scratch specifically made to suit FFXIV. What you prolly read was that they were asking the team creating the luminous engine some help to create this one.
