Final Fantasy X HD Shows Off Footage

[Milanezi]

Final Fantasy X... The one that almost got me to quit the whole franchise... With the surfer wanna-be characters and the cry-baby protagonist... I HATE THIS GAME!

As opposed to cry baby Cloud, or cry baby Squall? Did you seriously just say that?

Did I say I liked Cloud or Squall? FF VII and VIII were great due to story, as a matter of fact, as far as characters go, the only FF character I really like is Lightning, because she's so tough she could take Machete head-on! But everything in FF X was hateful to me, the story, the characters, the villains... Urgh... Not to mention it isn't exactly a FF hit at all, why choose IT for an HD treatment (FOR VITA????? Which I was dumb enough to buy)?

 

[Doom972]

There are so many great Final Fantasy games deserving of a remake, and we get X? I know people will contest this, but III, IV, VI, VIII, among others, really deserve more attention.

To be fair, it seems more like an enhanced version than a remake. FF 1-6 already got several enhanced versions for several consoles, including PS1, DS, and PSP.

I still agree with the fact that the choice of FF10 is odd, since it's definitely not the best of the series.

 

[Xathos]

Huh, its nice to see this game being around at least. I actually almost sort of forgot about it.

Liked FFX a lot, but from just the video, I can' see that much of a difference. Until Square releases a trailer showing various footage instead of just character models, I'll hold of judgement on how good/bad of a HD this is.

I don't really plan on buying it though, unless it become super cheap as the years go on or something. Though I do think its a good idea putting this on both the Vita and PS3. Vita needs some more love.

 

[Tiamattt]

Yeah...I'm literally staring at my PS2 copy of the game as I type this, and if I really wanted to play the game again I think I rather shell out the money to fix my PS2. They really need a lot more then a minor graphics upgrade to get me to buy this again, like optional languages, difficulty, costume choices, etc etc. Otherwise I think I'll pass.

 

[Issurru]

Shit, I thought they dropped this awhile ago into vaporware town like KH3 and Versus 13. Glad it may eventually see the light of day.
*Quickly grabs a flame shield* FFX is my favorite Final Fantasy, I actually hated 7 and 8, but I liked 1 and 3 though and haven't yet attempted 6 or 9. I don't know why this needed an HD remake though, it looked perfectly fine enough even now when I last played it on my ps2 a few months ago. I think they should have just ported the damn thing instead of wasting their time redoing it in HD

 

[Little Gray]

Eww, that's possibly definitely my least favorite Final Fantasy and that's saying something. Are they going to fix that dub? I can't imagine many people want to suffer through that laugh scene in HD.

I will never understand this point. The only way the laughing scene could be taken as bad is if you didnt understand the context of it.

 

[Quellist]

Okay...and?

Several points. First off, FFX looked FINE when it came out on the PS2. Quite honestly, it doesn't even look that much better in HD with the exception of some smoothed lines. You're trying to impress, and failing at it.

Secondly, you're remaking FFX and you're putting it on a handheld. Tell me, are you just going to start putting all your games on handhelds now? You've already abandoned the console with your Kingdom Hearts series to pump out a ton of cheap handheld titles, now you're going to do the same with Final Fantasy? I guess we'll see if you follow through to put it on the main console.

And thirdly, I can't believe they're still doing this. Instead of making a new game, they're making an HD version of one they've already made. And instead of making an HD remake of the one game all the fans are clamoring for, they picked one that NO one wanted remade. It's almost as if they are actively sabotaging their own company.

*applause* too bloody true. I'd add forthly, if they want to do a remake then for fucks sake remake one that 1) In some way adds to the experience by being remade (i.e not just a quick spitshine of the graphics) and 2) is worth remaking, 6 and 7 spring to mind for both categories.

 

[keiji_Maeda]

They should have trolled all the fans by having the tech demo for the new graphics be the laughing scene.

They redo the voicework or give me an option to cop out into the japanese dub, or i'm not buying squat (imlying one purchaser makes a real difference in the square fiscal plan)

 

[Zeraki]

Eeeeehhhhhhhhh...

No offense to the people who like FFX but... yeah, I really couldn't care less about that game. Give me a version of VI with updated visuals, a proper translation and the option to choose the original SNES soundtrack and then I would be interested.

 

[Risingblade]

Oh wow! An HD remake of Final Fantasy X? That's the best FF ever! - Nobody, ever.

It's like Squeenix don't even listen to people ¬_¬

An FF7 remake is out of the question, but 10 is fine?

It's like they don't like money.

Hey I said that! FFX is easily my favorite FF game ever! D:

 

[Lunar Templar]

Gonna be honest here, not seeing a meaningful difference.

 

[Marak Daga]

the original looks better on my pc with graphics turned up. really what did they do, enable anti-aliasing and call it a day?

 

[Leemaster777]

First off: Everyone saying that they can't see a major difference between this and the original version MAY want to get their eyes checked. I played the SHIT out of the original back in the day, and I can say with certainty that there is definitely improvement from my perspective. But, moreover, this is going to be on a HANDHELD, not a full HD display. Get it in-hand, and I'm sure it'll look better than these brief shots of character models implys.

With that out of the way, let me just say: I'M THROWING MY MONEY AT THE SCREEN, BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING!

...ahem, let me rephrase that. Final Fantasy X is my personal favorite in the series, and the chance to finally get to play it again sounds great to me.

I don't own a Vita, but with this and Persona 4 Golden, I think I just might splurg and finally buy one.

And finally, let me add this: Auron doesn't care if you think Tidus is whiny and Wakka is annoying. The only thing Auron cares about is kicking ass.

 

[JemothSkarii]

I'd get this, I enjoyed FFX a lot. Tidus being whiny is a decent reason, and to be honest, he's actually quite pumped for a lot of his trip over Spira. I'd probably pick this up for the PS3, can;t really splurg too much for a Vita. It's be like me splurging on a WiiU just for SMT X Fire Emblem...

[sub]...which would be worth it ;_;[/sub]

 

[2HF]

I love FFVII, I really enjoyed FFVIII, I couldn't stand the visuals of FFIX, I love FFX, I thoroughly enjoyed FFXII. Now you know my stance on these, lets move on to the other stuff.

I was very excited when I heard about this. I wanted to reserve my copy that very day. That being said, this was underwhelming. I was hoping for more. If this is any indication of the final product then Square has a big decision to make. What's this gonna run me? At the moment I do not own a PS2. So... will I find it more cost efficient to buy a PS2, a copy of FFX, a copy of FFXII, and a memory card? Or will the be priced reasonably enough that I can bypass the PS2 entirely?

Does this look better than the PS2 version? Absolutely! By enough? Absolutely not. If I still had my PS2 and they released it looking like this I'd stick with the copy I had.

 

[Sega Chief]

Be nice if they did for this game what they did with the GBA FF games and added in a little extra content along with the graphical touch-up. A Hard Mode or an extra challenge always makes a game worth another bash.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

There are so many great Final Fantasy games deserving of a remake, and we get X? I know people will contest this, but III, IV, VI, VIII, among others, really deserve more attention.

Not many people would agree with you mentioning VIII...I however do agree!

---

As much as I like Final Fantasy X, I already own a copy on the PS2...and beat it last summer with plans to revisit it at some point in the near future (probably when the remake is out). I don't really have any incentive to pick up the HD version and if I were to grab it, I would definitely grab the console version over the Vita one.

I'd rather they remade Mystic Quest in a similar way as they did 3 and 4 on the DS.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

I'm perfectly contempt with the PS2 version to be honest. I've been playing it lately and this "HD" version doesn't look too different. Smoother edges but nothing is crystal clear.

Not gonna get me to buy a Vita or a PS3 that's for sure. I'd rather take the time to get it running on my PC, but like I already said, I'm contempt with the PS2 graphics.

And no matter how many people hold their hands over their ears and say no one likes or wanted this game, there will always be a group of people that like anything. Get real.

Unfortunately for you, a PS2 will set you back quite considerably nowadays. Better off buying the remake for the PS3 (assuming you have one).
