Square Enix has signed a new deal with Epic Games for use of the Unreal Engine. As Epic announced this morning, Square Enix has licensed Unreal Engine 3 and 4 for a long-term deal that will span multiple titles and “provides Square Enix developers with full access to Unreal Engine 3 and Unreal Engine 4 technology across its studios.” The deal was signed with Epic Games Japan, who will provide local support to Square Enix and “will supplement Square Enix's proprietary software and ensure the studio is armed with the most powerful game development tools and technologies available across all major platforms.”

“Epic has a strong relationship with Square Enix, and it’s an honor to provide their creative and technical talent with the best game technology available for licensing,” said Epic Japan territory manager Taka Kawasaki. “We look forward to supporting their developers with world-class tools for years to come.”

Great, more good looking FF games but lacking on the battle and story.
 
Unreal Engine 3 sucks compared to the Crystal Tools, so I doubt they will be using Unreal for Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts. Or anything that Nomura touches for that matter. And new Final Fantasy games are fine, you just need to evolve. >_>
 
Which world? And it still doesn't mean they are the same. Kingdom Hearts is an Action RPG, Final Fantasy is a Turn Based.
 
The only main title Final Fantasy game that isn't turn based is XIII-3, and that isn't even out yet. They are all turn based up until that though.
