Maybe this is kinda OT, but we got Type-0 for PS4/XBox One, but not Crisis Core, just because Type-0 never got localized ?
My favorite part of On the Way to a Smile. So good.

Think there are licensing issues.
It's always struck me as odd that Square invests so much money into these in-house development engines but hasn't tried to license them out as middleware.
Crystal Tools was a huge mess and Luminous doesn't seem to be any better since KH3 dropped it entirely and FFXV is a mashup of the old PS3 framework and whatever they have now.

Well let's be real here, in the world of FF7 people can cast fire spells on each other and come out without a scratch. Why question the logic of their world when it comes to this?

Advent Children was so fucking garbage. I hope they don't include any of that garbage (except Tifa and Yuffie's updated costumes). Rufus surviving and having no visible scarring or anything was a goddamn joke.

Isn't it a licensing issue with a song used? If so they can simply remove that song in the HD version.

Having played FFXV, I don't see why they wouldnt use this engine. Sure it is rough around the engines, but it has some very impressive elements. It does seem to me right now though that it needs a high end PC to get the most out of it...

Rufus is the richest man in the world. I'm sure he has excellent plastic surgeons.

UE4 and Unity are both extremely feature-rich and powerful third-party engine frameworks these days, although the latter's origin in the mobile and indie space means it doesn't really have a presence in big AAA-style gaming.
Frostbite is one of the only in-house engines that's good enough to usefully share across multiple teams, in large part because DICE has both a gigantic team and a long, talented history of engine development.
The only reason no one at SE has actually said "Luminous is dead and buried" is because XV isn't out yet. No future title will ever use it or basically anything that was developed for it.

Future titles were already confirmed to use Luminous just a few months ago.
He was never shown dying on screen, it was always left to the imagination do I don't see what the issue is here. The novel's explanation is entirely fair, imo and it's not like he escaped unscathed either.

But he did die, in Dirge is was just some stupid digital ghost running around.
So like, the thing about that is that he didn't. At all. Dead as a doornail.

This! It's very similar to the whole movie concept of "if you don't SEE the death on screen, the character can ALWAYS come back".
I called the identity of the white shrouded man as Rufus from day one. I remember the majority of fans were totally against that, even going to saying that Sephiroth was a more suitable(and plausible) person to be the white shrouded man than Rufus.

There wasn't a body shown but it was pretty clear that it was a death scene. I mean the room he was in blew up and he stood there not trying to escape. It really looked like he was resigned in his fate. It was just dumb that he survived, but it was Advent Children which was just full of fuckery so whatever.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Now I'm seeing Advent Children hate in this thread? After seeing people trashing Crisis Core?
Advent Children was great, I'm guessing some of you never watched Advent Children Complete? It adds like half an hour of new footage involving Denzel and fleshes out the movie. Fantastic action scenes, great redesigns for all the characters, nice music. My only issue is the English dub was a little sub-par (dilly dally shilly shally? UGH).
Please direct your ire towards >>> Dirge of Cerberus. THAT game and it's story was TRASH and I pretend it doesn't exist in the canon.

The story in AC and CC were pretty bad too. AC was fun to watch for the action but the Sephiroth clone thing was dumb, and ACC just dragged a lot of it out. CC Genesis stuff that happened in between the stuff before FF7 but people forgot for some reason by FF7 was also dumb.
I always felt it was ambiguous even before the existence of the Compilation.

Forget Rufus and Hojo, Denzel is the dumbest thing in the Compilation. I thought they were setting him up to become the protagonist in an eventual sequel, but thank Minerva it never happened.
Rufus actually had a Phoenix Down on him and used it. I thought this was obvious.

You. I like you. We see eye to eye on things and stuff and Dirge of Cerberus hate.

That's what I thought as a kid, I was actually expecting him to pop up later in the game.
I'll believe it when I see it at this point.
One of the weirdest parts of AC for me was when Cloud essentially turns into Mako Jesus and starts baptizing everyone. Struck me as a bit forced.
What was wrong with Denzel? He wasn't whiny. He had a very sympathetic background so it's not like his depressed demeanor was overblown either.
I'm glad he was given a bigger spotlight in the Compilation. Still my favorite FF7 character.

I don't disagree that AC was full of fuckery, but Rufus surviving was far on the "least concerns" of fuckery that AC and the FFVII Compilation brought forth.
One of my favorites for sure, I don't know if I could say he's my favorite of them all though.
This gif sure makes me want to though.

Reno and Rude need to be given an extensive and detailed backstory in this game.

I just thought he was unnecessary and only introduced to be an eventual protagonist in a later entry.
He was an uninteresting character that took camera time away from characters we really wanted to see (FFVII party members).

What titles are you imagining here? KH3 is using Unreal. FF7 is almost certainly using Unreal, since they want to be able to put together a game in a reasonable amount of time (like KH3) instead of taking a decade (like XV.) FFXVI isn't even in dev yet and no matter who runs it, it's doubtful they'll look at the experiences of other console teams recently and go "oh hey, let's use this unfinished engine that's a nightmare to work with instead of this fast and efficient third-party tool we've been having so much success with." Teams outside that core FF unit aren't going to use it, so it's not like it'll be powering Nier 2 or DQ11. So... what does that leave, exactly?
I guess XIV will continue getting expansions for some time, so that would technically qualify as "multiple titles."
They confirmed that FFXV is not the only game using Luminous:
http://sqex.info/ffxv-luminous-studios-developer-interviews-part-1/
EDIT: Oops, beaten.
FFXV-2 immediately comes to mind. I don't care if Tabata wants to make this one unified entry now. If the thing is a success, there are bound to be more FFXV games.
Considering FFXV's weird development history, I don't think FFXVI is in a state where things aren't already in some form of pre-production. There are some posts by one of the Luminous Engine lead developers on some forums (I personally don't want to link them) where the user talks about optimizing the engine for future use, and not just for joint development with FFXV. Luminous Engine may as well be ass when FFXVI is ready for development, but that hasn't stopped SE from making mistakes with their engines in the past. Especially if they want to tout FFXVI as some incredible feat using an in-house engine for PR/recruitment's sake.
And 14 isn't even technically using it outside of some scaling/lighting tech.
XV-2 isn't happening anymore. Nomura's multi-game dream is dead. The new CEO wants to move on quickly from now on after the mistakes of letting the XIII series linger.
Them dropping the "A world of the Versus Epic" branding was a sign of this.
Exactly. It hasn't shown up again since 2013 and it's likely never to again.
Well, the mistake was not having a new, high end FF or even IP because of the Versus and FFXIV 1.0 mess, forcing them to make more sequels out of a game that realllly didn't need one (though they were both enjoyable in their own rights). There should not be a similar circumstance for SE in the near future....(or rather, hopefully not at least...)
