SE: Almost 300 employees on FFXIV 2.0, new title releases "suffered for 2 to 3 years"

Would the game really have to be rebuilt? I was under the impression that the Luminous Engine was just the Crystal Tools/White Engine with more stuff in it.

Aren't we kinda at the point where engines don't need to be entirely reworked just to add new technologies?
