Thread: Will 7.0 upgrade or chage the engine of the game?

Changing the engine basically means doing a whole new game.

Not gonna happen.

Hard to say so far. They want to upgrade the graphics but in what form we don't know. They clearly stay in the same engine. So all I expect is better textures.

From what I have read and heard from friends the game engine is a maxed out. They already changed the engine once from 1.0 to what they use now. All they need to do is upgrade the engine to new version to fix the problems. Most the money SE makes is from subscriptions here.

I wonder how costly it would be for them to actually have the game be more responsive. It doesn't come up as issue in most PvE situations considering how the fights are designed in fairly static way, but it's pretty janky in PvP where at times you can have Guard up for 2 whole seconds and still get hit by unmitigated stuff among other things.

I even doubt, that they will make bigger updates of the engine with 7.x. The engine is already capable to render better graphics. I guess, they will improve the character models and textures.


Cheers

It will probably be 8.0 or beyond if they every do anything major with the engine.

It would be safer to see where the game is going before committing to doing something that expensive and probably would herald the end of support for the ps4.

There is no reason to change the game engine, the word is kinda misunderstood.
It is more akin ... to how you would understand the word "language".
Would you personally change what language you use in your daily life or at work if someone had a "better language"?
Funny how that later sometimes happens: local businesses switching from national language to english and messing everything up

All I want is the ability to set render resolution independently of display resolution. Even FFXI could do that.
