The engine already stands. the missing 40% are not optimization but content. Look at the FFXIII demo which also was based on an early build. Apart from the different menu design it was virtually the same as the final game. And this is always the case. With every demo or "beta" nowadays. People let the devs get away with everything saying "All criticism is invalid because it's not the final build and everything will be better in the final game!". Which is pretty much never the case. I don't really believe in the FF polish anymore after I've seen LR. It's a different time and the machines are weak. Devs these days just love to sacrifice performance for spectacle. And you know how much SE loves spectacle. |
Wrong. "Tabata reveals that the current version of Final Fantasy XV is running on Luminous Engine V1.4, which will be upgraded to V1.5 for the Final Fantasy XV demo."
"The final version of Final Fantasy XV is planned to run on Luminous Engine V2."

And yes, I have links for everything.
Edit: Also, I agree about LR not being polished, but it is the exception not the rule.
