SE refused to disclose what engine FFXVI is running on, and I share Quazii's hope that it makes it into FFXIV.

Since Yoshi-P has been tied into the game development he would be very familiar with it and maybe it can happen.

Supposedly some of the graphics update was going to get rolled slowly between 6.0 and 7.0 but we are over half-way in the 6.X patches and the only thing we've seen is dynamic resolution.

This leads me to believe that either they have run into issues and it's taking them longer OR, and perhaps my hope, that the graphical update is a lot bigger and better than we imagined and they are keeping it a surprise.
