In Final Fantasy XIV, the cloud data center test showed us the future of the game and hopefully more with some fun community events along the way.

  5. On the topic of the engine, Dawntrail is prolly going to upgrade that, or just move right on to XVI's branch as XVI uses the same engine as XIV, just with PBR support among other things, XVI also seems to have an entry in its licenses section for "Vulkan Memory Allocator" which is a header only library that makes Vulkan memory allocation not a pain, so XIV could also be getting a Vulkan update with Dawntrail, and given how the game is decently old its prolly more CPU bound, Vulkan would be a huge performance boost

    but thats all a guess

  6. Using the cloud architecture also allows for the use of edge locations, which are data centers that cache content and deliver it to users with low latency. Those are what allow people to connect to the servers with super low ping even if they're far away from the main cloud servers, allowing everyone to be on the same page in terms of ping since edge centers are located all around the world. Ideally, this mean East vs West coast players won't have a ping advantage difference. They facilitate a connection to the game world, but don't contain any critical data storage capacity making them flexible to get as well. All the critical data meant for storage is sent to the main cloud servers for storage, like character and progression data
