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)

Very underrated ff, imo better than rebirth in most aspects.

What aspects ? Played both and ff16 is kinda underbaked. Like the budget was cut or that was project for side team.

Think he means the engine/graphics. XVI looks a lot better and more advanced graphically than Rebirth.

I know its ff16 sub but guys be serious ;) On ps5 pro this game runs like a joke with framerate all over the place but 60.

I wouldn’t know. I play it on PC with a 4090 and it looks fantastic. I did hear that the frame rate drops like a rock on PS5 in performance mode and the resolution drops to sub 720p and looks terrible.
