Considering how long this is taking SE, I expected a lot better. Compared to some of the other HD Collections I've seen, the graphical upgrade here is hardly notable. Some cleaner textures, but that's about it. The other collections have had improved lighting, new graphical effects, better AA, etc. This isn't worth full price to me.

pompombrum3976d ago

What? Those screenshots look good.. if they are an accurate representation of what it will be like when I play the game, I'll be one satisfied customer.

Chard3976d ago

For a HD remaster, it is definitely taking a long time. I don't think the original game even took this long to make.

porkChop3976d ago

Yeah it is taking longer than the original game took to develop, which makes no sense to me. They have the original to work with, they just need to upgrade the graphics. It shouldn't take this long.

carlingtat3976d ago

This isn't a typical HD remaster that other games have done where all they've done is up the frame rate and make the game look cleaner. This is updating the models which takes time. They have to redo ALL the models for every Playable character and NPC.They have to redo ALL the environmental models. They have to redo ALL the animations all of which they have to do with a small team because the majority of the team are working on either Final Fantasy XIV, FFXV or KH3. Have a bit of patience and realise that they are working as hard and as fast as they can.

Dude what? Final Fantasy X HD thus far may quite possibly be the best Remastered(That isn't technically a remake like Halo 1 HD or Wind Waker HD) collect thus far in terms of graphical improvement. I don't know how you aren't satisfied.

ProjectSeoul3976d ago

I noticed it, I think you need to compare the ps2 version with this version, then you'll see the difference.

god_o_war3976d ago (Edited 3976d ago )

I wish they would stop showing us how much better it looks in HD and tell us when we will be able to buy the damn thing! The kingdom hearts HD has been out in Japan for like 6 months and still hasn't released else where!! It worries me to think when we might get our hands on this.. I have however preordered both wanting that JRPG fix :D

CloudyAero3976d ago

If they did a Legend Of The Dragoon remake and the graphics looked like that, I'd be over zealous. Is that the correct term? Haha

porkChop3976d ago

I don't understand Sony. They have a great RPG IP but they're doing literally nothing with it. They have a big void in their first party offerings when it comes to RPGs too. They need to do a remake or a reboot, it was one of the best PS1 games.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Joins Game Pass Tomorrow

The official Xbox Game Pass Twitter account announced that starting tomorrow Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster will be available on game pass.

Gaming4Life19811122d ago

I literally have this game on everything lol.

Abnor_Mal1122d ago

The game that got me into the Final Fantasy series, I actually stopped playing FF7 halfway through disc one back in 1997.

Teflon021122d ago

Personally the battle in this one legit make me fall asleep because they're so "do it the right way or no way". As a kid I loved it but as I'm older and play so much JRPGs. Definitely needed to be the ATB and not this one. But the story was something I loved

Kavorklestein1122d ago (Edited 1122d ago )

The game is actually live now.
I already unlocked an achievement on it and can I say: The grainy ass PS2 graphics still ended up looking great in HD. Of course, not leaps and bounds better, with old textures in some spots and old game design etc but it holds up beautifully and I'm excited for my 2nd ever playthrough. It has not lost it's charm for me personally.
And the Music! So good.

I wanna get better at blitz ball this time around tho

Eh. Never could get into it for long.
12 is my personal favorite. Followed by 6, 9, and 7.

gold_drake1560d ago

not surprising, ff fans who like 6 and 12, usually dont like the rest i feel.

Spenok1560d ago

I grew up on the series (played every single one of them when they were new).

6 is easily my favorite, followed by 14, then 11, then 12 and so on down the list.

There isn't a single one I haven't loved in some way. But 8, and then 2 are at the bottom of my list.

AK911560d ago

What’s wrong with 6?

Sirk7x1560d ago

Love 6, hate 12 lol. 9 my favorite by far.

bouzebbal1560d ago (Edited 1560d ago )

I really don't inputs which one is my personal favorite because there are so many, but I know for a fact it's not 10,13 and 15..
Ff12, despite cheesy characters, was a great game and the freedom of movement really helped. The ps1 episodes come first, including the ff5 ff6 remasters.
I later on played ff1 remaster on psp and I loved it!! Så yeah, hard top pick one.

bangoskank1559d ago

Not true. XII, IX, and VI are my favorites as well but I still love some of the others, just not as much.

Army_of_Darkness1559d ago

FF7 is by far my favorite FF game, great times and great memories.. then comes
FF8, FF6, FFX, FF12 and finally FF9.

12 doesn't feel like a FF game to me, but it's definitely a favourite rpg of mine.

babadivad1560d ago

I put a metric ton of time in on 12 but I couldn't tell you what the story was about. I spent most of my time hunting bounties. By the time I finished the game I had no clue what was going on.

1560d ago
RedDevils1560d ago (Edited 1560d ago )

12 is one of the worst. But 13 and 15 take the cake.

gold_drake1560d ago (Edited 1560d ago )

haha see, thats what i mean. theres, usually but not all the time, a pattern to final fantasy fans xD
i for one loath 12. i have no idea what the story was about, dont know any name for any city and only find Fran and Balthier great.
i love love love 7. dont like 2 at all. 6 and 9 are good but id rather play anything else tbh. 14 is good also but im no MMO person so i never got beyond the 3rd quest lol.

no hate, but ff fans are somewat predictable, based off on what they like xD in most cases.

ShinRon1560d ago

those are my top FF games but i have 6 at the top still.

SugarSoSweet1559d ago

12!!!?? is your favourite why? The characters are story was terrible..

DerfDerf1559d ago

I personally give the nod to 8 then 9, 7, 5

-Foxtrot1559d ago (Edited 1559d ago )

Final Fantasy V and XIV got better than FFVIII

Lightning, Orshvan Greystone and Noctis got a better ranking than Squall

Liberi Fatali didn't even make the music list...

Damn, I didn't think people still hated FFVIII...how sad.

Muzikguy1559d ago (Edited 1559d ago )

3 and 9 are my favorite. 12, 10, 8, 7, and 5 aren't bad either

I don't think I've played 6. I probably should sometime. I know I'd rather play an original not any of the remake versions.

VincentCastle1544d ago (Edited 1544d ago )

yes!
I love Final Fantasy 12. My favorite as well. Then followed by 9, 6, 7,14 and the others I like, but I can't quite put in a list.

darkwalker1560d ago

I agree. It is the best of the Final Fantasy games because it had the perfect balance of game play and exploration, coupled with excellent graphics for its time, an amazing story and phenomenal music. The sphere grid was simple, innovative and engaging and the side quests were fun and challenging. Its definitely my favorite.

specialguest1560d ago

My top FF:
It's difficult to decide between FF7 and FF6, but I'm leaning more towards FF7. Then FF6 is a very close 2nd, followed by FF4. FF4 got me hooked on the RPG genre. The story, character development, and music got me hooked. Before FF4, I never cared for video game characters and their fate in a game.

littletad1560d ago

Have you tried 9? It hearkens back to the earlier games, including 6. That's my favorite. Then 10.

specialguest1559d ago

Haven't played 9 yet. I need to

Shiken1560d ago

Auron is the best character in Final Fantasy IMO.

Sirk7x1560d ago

FFX could have had a fantastic prequel following their initial journey.

Shiken1560d ago

Instead we got a Sailor Moon style sequel to revive Tidus, and a canon comic that shits all over him in the worst way possible taking place immediately after that.

But yes, following Braska, Auron, and Jecht in a prequel would have been awesome!

gold_drake1560d ago

my faves are 5, 7, 8, 10, 13-2.

MWH1559d ago

Looks like a puzzle combination.
