Just saying, theres a lot ignorance in this thread. The engine switch will increase development speed. FF13 ( FF13 only took 2 years to develop, rest was engine) and 14 spent long amounts of time in development but half that time was spent developing the engine along side the game.

Another obligatory bitch and whine about SE thread, even in light of them making a smart move.

It's not so much that them switching to a third party engine is a bad move, it's just mind blowing how Square has been developing games.  This is their second failed engine and between this and the crystal tools, have probably lost them serious cash.  Enough cash that Tomb Raider and Hit Man selling higher than they ever have, haven't been able to cover the costs.
