Achieving FF Agni Philosophy Hair in UE4

Hey guys,

So i saw Final Fantasy’s tech demo of their realtime game engine cinematic Agni’s Philosophy

and so far I feel that UE4 can do the same, all except for the hair…

In Agnis Philosophy the hair felt so real, there was no way it was procedural

However in a game engine Ive only ever heard of procedural hair, even some of the more popular ones like Witcher 3 used procedural hair.
(Although Im not sure if The Order and Uncharted 4 used procedural hair)

So my question is can we actually achieve hair control to create realistic hair animation like it there is in Maya?(but in a game engine, in which FF is obviously able to do so_

That hair is not procedural, things like TressFX and Hairworks instead render hair strands rather than using textured planes.
