How good is the game engine of FFXIV?

[Aerlana]

WoW began with the war3 engine (a little improve)
BUT they did improve it later (for MOP release) So, vanilla/cata - BC - WOTLK areas are on the old engine, and MOP+ on the new. you can see difference. But the best way to see differences is an option to get the character "old" version or "new" version. (at WoD/legion, they did some rework with the new engine for vanilla/BC races)

The "ingame" cinematics are with the game engine we have now.


Also, not because they did improve the engine that SE can improve FFXIV engine. First it is some improve, but not a rework. And an engine can be "lock" without any way to improve it (or just some small improve).


But... i laugh of the "PS3 limitations"... this made my day


PS : WoW is "cartoon" design, clearly not what FF does, we could maybe see the faces, but many things avoid to directly compare. My post just aim to show that wow did evolve its engine from 2004 to now, and maybe FFXIV could also do it!
