Square-Enix Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster

When I read the thread title I got my hopes up for Blizball that could be played on the PSN, if it's just a re-master I doubt that will happen though. :C

Otherwise, I am pretty excited for this! I've always wanted to finish FFX, maybe it being in HD will induce me to get further than Mt. Gagazet this time. Re-masters are a pretty cheap way to make money quickly, but as long as it doesn't cost too much money I don't mind--and I love Blitzball far too much to not buy this.

 

OMG! YUNA IN HD! I WANT A PS3 NOW! No kidding! There won't be this annoying horrible lip synch! Make a FFX-2 HD edition now!

 

...

 

I just thought of this: would they be able to add a player-controllable camera? :C I hated the fixed camera in the game with a passion, though I'm not sure if the areas in the game are built to enable that, or how much work it'd require.

 

I'll buy it on PS3. I don't care if I need to do everyhitn again. Maybe they;ll do the voice acting again so it's a wee bit better. I love 10, my first FF.

Also, if this goes well, maybe they'll consider doing 7 moreso!!!

If that' s just a HD remaster then nope. The fixed camera angles were there for a reason :

- To make sure no one would notice the backgrounds are made in chunky 3D. In FFXIII you can see huge polygons and horrible mappings if you place the camera the bad way in certain places. FFX, even if slightly improved, would look much much worse if you could look where you want.

- To reduce their amount of work. If you could look where you want you' d see big chunks of nothing or poorly designed places here and there. Why would they waste their time on something that no one will ever see, or on something that will barely be seen from far away ? Also, why force the PS2 to load all those things and compute them for nothing ?

- To allow SE to direct the game like they would direct a movie. SE tried for years to make FF games look like movies, I was really surprised when I saw the free camera in FFXIII. The free camera is a double edged sword, it enhances immersion but the developers loose control over what the players will see and how they' ll see it. For games supposed to create a cinematic mood and tell a story (FF, survival horrors) I think fixed cameras are actually a wiser choice, especially if they try to look pretty all the time and are linear anyway. But then of course I' ve studied directing and now when I watch something I pay attention to its direction. Before I studied directing I was, like most people, clueless about it, I only cared about the meaning and quality of what I saw, not the meaning and quality of how it was shown. I' m really surprised that pretty much every next gen games have free camera now, it saddens me (I' m talking to you Crapcom, what the hell have you done to Resident Evil ?) Oh well, SE were never too good at directing anyway. In Advent Children they made begginer mistakes, which were corrected in the Complete version, and in FFXIII CGs here they are again.

Oh and finally some places in FFX are in 2D, just like in the PS1 FF.

 

great news im definitley getting this not sure if for ps3 or vita; probably ps3 but yea this is great but then again this game looks fine; but i guess to celebrate the 10 years its been out and since I enjoyed playing it when it first released, i'm getting it :D

 

Ehhh, not too sure about this. I mean, I'm happy about FF10 getting remade, I love that game, but why FF10? It's not even that old, and plus I'm sure more Final Fantasy games are more well-deserved for a remake. FF7 anyone?

 

I assumed that was the case, unfortunately. :C My beef with the fixed camera was it often made it pretty much impossible to spot the Al Bhed Primers.

... Oh god I just realized I'll have to collect them all again. ;___;

When I first heard about this, it took me 10 minutes to calm down. I love FFX AND FFX-2 and I cannot wait until it comes out.

C: x 10000000

Online blitzball plzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Also don't change it too much, because it is perfect and wonderful. <3

I'm glad to see they're not just doing a cheap re-release, and are giving FFX the treatment it deserves.

 

Yay for Blitzball changes? I hated that in FFX, and yet it's a plot point...eh.

I hope we'll get screenshots soon.

 

I really, REALLY want to play this but I'm not breaking my oath about Sony products. I just have to remember that someday it'll be emulatable...
