Gamasutra interview of N. Yoshida

[OMEGA_HACK]

Some of their sister companies use the U3 Engine, is why there might be some "suspicion" (I believe there was a link below that article Pretty Princess that made mention of SE resigning use of U3 Engine).

But like others have already mentioned, Yoshi-P has already stated that the new engine is being developed by the developers of the Luminous Engine to work in conjunction with parts of the Crystal Tools Engine.

not only that but when SE announced the white engine they said they used the unreal engine as its main influence.

they didnt go into that much detail but it seemed to me that they took some core elements of the unreal engine and just modified it from there.

I read that...I was wondering where people got UE3 from >_>

What a worthless interview coming so long after the media tour is over.

It's like Gamasutra is showing SE the finger. Which would be in line with the Western media's attitude of SE in general.

[Chardrizard]

Is that even an interview? Geez.

[AdvancedWind]

Since we're at this and Gamasutra's interview is a joke...

Not that much better, but still is "part 1"

Well I for one like the fact that they talked a bit about the brand in general. I wish they would look more into past FF games for ways to improve the game rather than so blatantly copying wow and rift which itself is a total wow clone. If I wanted to play wow I never would have bought this product to begin with. I don't think the target audience overlaps that much anyway the mindset is just so different.

There is not much to look into that would help. MMORPG's and RPG's are vastly different entities.

They do need to reverse the negative trend that has been going on though.The games nor the company is not as bad as everyone makes them out to be, but the brand has been built on a shoddy ground and it is biting them back today.
