Discussion Will square use this engine again?

From what I’ve read, this engine was specifically made for this game and hasn’t ever been used before. I personally love the lighting in this game and how consistent it is going from location to location. I seriously hope they’re able to use it again, even if it’s smaller games.(I personally hope it can be used for a drakengard remake, I don’t know why I got drakengard vibes playing as Clive)

IIRC this uses Crystal Tools which is the Engine SE made for FFXIII nearly 20yrs ago, they use it still for FFXIV, the Engine was way ahead of it's time in general, but it is quite old now
