The Square approach has been to tackle every new project from the ground up but as development costs skyrocket this has to change: as an example the upcoming The Last Remnant will be built on Unreal 3. Even more ambitious is FFXIII's proprietary White Engine, now called Crystal Tools. It's a full suite of authoring tools and runtime libraries for PS3, PC and Xbox 360. Not only is Crystal Tools the power behind FFXIII, but also FFVSXIII and the company's as-yet unannounced MMO RPG as well.
