Sora96 17,256 Posted July 27, 2014 His roles have already been filled by other staff. FFXV will still use this engine. Changes nothing. 2 WakelessDream and 143436611Xxcc reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King_Graham 135 Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) His roles have already been filled by other staff. FFXV will still use this engine. Changes nothing.My thoughts exactly. There are most likely too many corporate systems in place for one man leaving to lead to a sort of infrastructure collapse.Rewording that, the infrastructure of the team(s) working on Luminous is likely too solid to fail.
