Headline says : Kingdoms Hearts 3 switched to Unreal Engine 4 due to rendering difficulties This was an article with the wrong headline that didn't get changed and was passed around as fact. KH3 didn't shift to UE4 because of technical problems.

Plus not spending tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars on a Luminous Engine would mean that if you just look at FF15's development, not even Forspoken, that would Luminous Engine existing was contentious at best.

Pair that with how it artificially increased development time of Kingdom Hearts III, and likely several other projects, and it possible that FF15, one of the most successful Final Fantasy games ever, only broke even.įinal Fantasy XV probably would have been far more profitable and timely to create if they just used Unreal Engine because the staff was already trained on how to use Unreal Engine. We don't know how much time or money was spent on Luminous Engine, but it's safe to say it was far, FAR more than 30 million dollars and at least two years, probably more, of wasted development time on that engine. Building one as versatile as Luminous was supposed to be can take as much time and money to create as making a whole new game. You are not taking into account the amount of money and take it takes to build a game engine in the first place. So will this game engine ever be use to develop another game ever again or will Square Enix just cut their losses and forget that engine ever existed and just move on. At this point I think it's fair to say that Luminous Engine was an outright complete failure and money hole for Square Enix. Projects that started in that engine, like Kingdom Hearts III, had to have development shifted towards Unreal Engine due to technical difficulties.

Now that Luminous Productions have been folded in to Square after the failure that was Forspoken I am wondering if they will even bother with that game engine again. FF XIV's engine used aspects of Luminous Engine, but its so heavily modified that it's effectively a different game engine. But, out of all of those games only two them actually were made in Luminous Engine, FFXV and Forspoken. It quite possible that there were plans to for DQ X, FF XVI, Kingdom Heart 4 and other projects to made on that engine as well. The games that we know of that were supposed to be built off it are:įinal Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn and all future expansionsįinal Fantasy Versus XIII (Now Final Fantasy XV)
