With Kingdom Hearts III dropping the engine in favor of Unreal Engine 4 and a key person from the Luminous team leaving Square Enix there was speculation it could only be for Final Fantasy XV now but this is definitely not the case. 

 

Read what Akira Iwata, Senior Manager and Lead Artist in Advanced Technology Department said below.

 

 

At the current stage, I can’t speak concretely about titles in development using Luminous Studio besides FFXV, but I can firmly say that it isn’t an engine build solely for FFXV.

 

Read the interview here.

 

Project Flare is also in development and it is expected to be used for Final Fantasy XVI.

No,Type-0 is it's own thing

 

Dissidia is a prequel to FF1 and the secret Cosmos reports has the backstory for Garland

It seems as if they will use the Luminous Engine on games before XVI comes around. Then they will use that one for every game until XVII comes around with it's own engine.

XVI will use Project Flare.

XVI will use Project Flare.

Yeah that's what I mean, every game before that will use Luminous and when they release XVI with Project Flare every game after that will use Flare until XVII comes up which will probably have it's own engine again. Didn't the same thing happen with Crystal Tools? Both the XIII trilogy and XIV (not ARR) used that engine.

Technically it's more of Crystal Tools was intended for their PS3/360 games. Luminous for PS4/Xbox One.

Wow, the graphics for this game will be out of this world!  And well, looking at the trailers, the environments and characters look so detailed!  Damn, that's impressive stuff! O.O
