Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster
I pre-ordered this earlier today for the PS3. Final Fantasy X is my favorite of the series. I spent much more time doing side quests for items and playing blitzball than I did in the actual game. That isn't saying I didn't play the game a lot. I had Tidus and Yuna's sphere grids completely full. Anyway, I'm completely stoked for this game! Anyone else looking forward to it? (FF VII fanboys need not reply)

FFX is one of my favourite games ever so yes I am going to get this and will spend far too long playing it. Monster Arena

FFX-2 is also pretty fun and has one of the best battle systems in all of Final Fantasy. Yeah I said it.

If you preorder, you get the collector's edition. Has an art book or something.

They're also releasing it on PlayStation Vita if that helps.

Haven't seen this available for pre-order anywhere in the UK yet. Is there a confirmed release date now other than "uh, 2013"?

You can preorder on amazon, game stop, and wal mart in the states. I'm not sure about anywhere else. There's also a video on the website that shows the difference in graphics with the same scene split in half. It's pretty good.

I'm tempted. VII was my fave but I liked X. Got stuck at one part and sold it.

FFX was brilliant looking back on it. I remember shitting on it a bit at the time with my friends (we were all huge final fantasy guys and we'd pretty much race to get ahead of one another) and I'm not really sure why now I think about it. I always had a lot of fun with it.

There was so much to do on X, it seemed really huge even in final fantasy terms. Would love to give it another run through but I can't justify spending that amount of time on a video game these days.

I should since I got a better chance of the save being saved in case something drastic happens. When my PS3 died not too long ago, I lost my save. I was at Zanarkand. I could literally see the finish line, then poof all that hard work gone.

If there's some sort of trophy for beating Penance I'm going to have some sort of breakdown and possibly start seeing a therapist about my trophy collecting habits.

Oh hey, forgot we had a thread for this. Copying from the VG News thread:

Final Fantasy X-2 had it's ending changed in the re-release to make a possibility for FFX-3. They didn't even bother to make a new scene for it, it's just audio with a picture on the screen.

SPOILER: show
- Most of this bonus audio are told by 2 characters: Chuami and Kurugum. They are sent to Besaid Island by Baralai to search for Yuna.

- Tidus isn't together with Yuna anymore, but of course, the real reason isn't explained. At the beggining of the drama, when Chuami, one of the protagonists asks Yuna about Tidus being her boyfriend, she still confirms, but at another point (although
I'm sure it's a lie) when the 2 protagonists are spying a convo between them, she is jealous about some Tidus' friend (Marufi - a friend according to him). Then, she tells him she doesn't care anymore and apparently got another person she likes. Weird enough, he just ask: Who?, which she replies "Someone you don't know."

- Later though, Tidus asks Lulu if she know about who could be Yuna's new love. Lulu gets pretty disappointed and says she thought Tidus would know Yuna a little bit more. She then tells Tidus to figure it himself.

- The weird part about this is when Kurugum, the other protagonists, tells Chuami that he likes Yuna and they should separate from each other. (Like they are trying to induce people to believe he is Yuna's new love, but I doubt it could be, as he has a voice of a 14 years old kid).

- Tidus is still a Blitzball star, but when Chuami handshake him, she notices he's pretty injured and with no energy at all, although he is trying to hide it. Later, when she meets him again, hiding from someone in Bevelle, she also notices he's injured. This may be related to why he and Yuna aren't together anymore.

- Apparently, Yuna woke up from her "bad dream" (aka her FFX-2 version) and is talking like her FFX self again. Rikku and Paine aren't mentioned in this bonus audio.

- Sin is back, although it's not explained why and how it's back. It's told, however, that it was activated by something (note that they use the word Summoned anymore).

- One of the protagonists (Chuami) of this bonus audio drama claims to be Auron's daughter, although this is confronted by Lulu when she mentions about it. Lulu even saus she doesn't look like Auron like Yuna looked like Braska and Tidus looked like Jecht.

- When she asks Lulu if her mother is a liar, she tells her that she wouldn't go so far, but if Auron was really her father, he would definitively make sure she would know, because that's how Auron was.

- In the end of the bonus audio, Yuna's famous words from FFX about defeating Sin are back, with the crowd cheering. You know what that means, right?


There's also been an official novel been released which seems to tie into the same story but with more detail and it just sounds hilarious. It's supposed to be canon and if it is, I will watch FFX-3 on YouTube because it will be hilarious.

SPOILER: show
Quote:
This is a glorious trainwreck. I think I found some scans of the novel pages. Tidus' uh...unfortunate fate 2 days after being revived by Yuna?

The reviewer's weren't kidding about the gore. Tidus sees a ball roughly the size of a blitz ball, and comes to the conclusion that that's what it exactly is. So he proceeds to run and kick it... explodes. It was a bomb. Yuna gets thrown back by the explosion.... along with Tidus' head which promptly lands by Yuna with his expression frozen with surprise. She promptly passes out.

Yuna resurrects him using pyreflies, however it seems that if Tidus realizes what he is, he'll disappear (whether that means off to the Farplane, or from existence I'm not sure). It seems overall this explaination wasn't explained too well so it could be off the mark. This could explain though why she's seeming cold towards him in the audio drama.

I kinda want X-3 now just to see how far Square will go in their insanity.

A lot of the Japanese readers seem more upset that it was such an opposite tone to what the perfect ending in X-2 was, and the aformentioned gore and sexuality present.
Quote:
There's a lot of comments about how much they feel bad for Tidus, and that Yuna acts really cold towards him. There's a few saying they hate Yuna in the novel. There's apparently a lot of sexual stuff in it. There's a scan of one page in which Tidus tells Yuna if they get into battle he might lose his fighting spirit because he's distracted by how sexy she is. And apparently Tidus gets his head blown off by a bomb and dies (and only 2 days after getting resurrected), but he comes back to life again because he's made of Pyreflies, and Yuna has control over him.

Haha that sounds fucking awful. I'm surprised they didn't shoehorn Lightning in there just to amp up the bad fan fiction vibe.
