Did you know that KINGDOM HEARTS III did not switch engines because they were not able to get what they wanted with the Luminous Engine? Of course it is part of the reason since Nomura said so in an interview, but Square Enix actually did not want to let the Luminous Engine be used for any games besides FINAL FANTASY XV. According to the french website Final Fantasy World, Julien Merceron, a french technology director who helped with the development of the Luminous Engine, had to apply one of his rules before any other game was made with the technology Luminous provided. The rule states that a first game has to be completed with a certain technology before it can be used for other games. "The first game acts as a test" according to the Final Fantasy World article. Because of that, the Luminous Engine stayed exclusive to FINAL FANTASY XV and thus, games like KINGDOM HEARTS III or FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE moved to the Unreal Engine to pursue their development. Once FINAL FANTASY XV is released,in 2016, more games could be developped with the Luminous engine. Here's the Final Fantasy World article (if you read french) http://www.ffworld.com/?rub=news&page=voir&id=3180- 10 replies
