This is why Yellow Paint is in these games or even the fact in one of the mountain levels the textures had to be painted an off color to indicate that they can be climbed.

While Unreal Engine is not a bad system, i am hoping Square Enix can pull a Capcom and make at least a game engine of their own or at least two, one for AAA/AA and another for an MMO that can scale to from Mobile up to PC and Console. It feels like Square Enix keeps running into creative limitations and things they have to keep fixing to make everything work over time. It would help for them to spend money and to try to make it work again.
