Even though the expert sphere grid takes away some nodes, I'm using it for my playthrough. You can attain max stats (aside from maybe HP on the expert one.) regardless of which you pick. It's been fun using the harder version though, it really made me think about where I needed to go with each character. Very pleased with the different experience expert has given.

Breezed right through the game even with this sphere grid. I suppose that's just because of how many times I've played it though. Knowing all the secrets and tricks certainly helps, lol.

DCfan3709d ago (Edited 3709d ago )

Expert sphere grid has me wondering about Kimahri and Wakka's path lol.
Currently, the thunder plains just pissed me off, im leaving it for end game then returning with "No encounters" equipped.

@godmars
Already have, 2 months ago on PS2 and 20 minutes ago on my ps3, frustrating and boring to say the least, not to mention you might have an encounter on a very bad time.

Godmars2903709d ago

You're actually going to try for the "200 no lightening strike"?

Snookies123709d ago (Edited 3709d ago )

@DCfan - Yeah, best to leave the 200 bolts for when you have No Encounters. Already have pretty much every celestial weapon at full power. Just need Wakka's and Lulu's sigil.

I'll probably give the lightning dodges a go tonight, not looking forward to doing it again. I will get that platinum trophy though, love this game too much not to have it, lol.

DCfan3709d ago

I have collected 2 items for the celestial weapons.
I also love it too much, that i beat it last month on my ps2 and bought the HD collection lol.
Gonna try and do the whole thing before my break ends.

NoSuchSol3709d ago

Enjoying the nostalgia. I haven't played FFX since 2006. I would be happy if they brought out FFXII as well. I know it wasn't well received, but I ended up enjoying the game after spending the time with it.

Let's hope that Square can figure out the formula again for the next gen systems.

minimur123709d ago (Edited 3709d ago )

they're probably on it now, but it'll just take them another 3 years, with an extra 2 years worth of delays. lol

The thing is with the next gen, people will be expecting it to be 10x better than the PS3 version, and then they'll get a bad name because it's not up to scratch

kayoss3709d ago (Edited 3709d ago )

They're making ff12 remaster for sure. But they have to released ff13-4 - Lightning killed by lightning the closure.

pivotplease3708d ago (Edited 3708d ago )

lmao wow you just made my day. Someone needs to bury the XIII franchise and never speak of it again. I have hopes for Nomura's KH/FF hybrid!

belac093709d ago

i love the remaster graphics, it looks sooooo good on the vita! god i love this game.

vergilxx33708d ago

Oh god wish I could see it I got my copy day one but one day earlier I was "water drop test" my vita..
Carcasm

belac093702d ago

that sucks, i would die.

vergilxx33702d ago

Meh no worries will be buying white vita from my friend he's got 2 of them

arbitor3653708d ago

i dont like the expert sphere grid. the lack of 50 nodes just kills it for me.

because I am a sphere grid destroyer. I dont just complete the sphere grid. I delete and remake it, using stronger spheres, in order to maximize my character's stats

and no, I dont use cheats to do this. you can harvest tons of every sphere in the arena. so having the most nodes possible is important to me.

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.

Gaming4Life19811101d ago

I literally have this game on everything lol.

Abnor_Mal1101d ago

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

Teflon021101d 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

Kavorklestein1101d ago (Edited 1101d 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_drake1539d ago

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

Spenok1539d 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.

AK911539d ago

What’s wrong with 6?

Sirk7x1539d ago

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

bouzebbal1539d ago (Edited 1539d 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.

bangoskank1538d 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_Darkness1538d 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.

1539d ago
babadivad1539d 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.

1539d ago
RedDevils1539d ago (Edited 1539d ago )

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

gold_drake1539d ago (Edited 1539d 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.

ShinRon1539d ago

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

SugarSoSweet1539d ago

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

DerfDerf1539d ago

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

-Foxtrot1539d ago (Edited 1539d 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.

Muzikguy1539d ago (Edited 1539d 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.

VincentCastle1524d ago (Edited 1524d 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.

darkwalker1539d 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.

specialguest1539d 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.

littletad1539d ago

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

specialguest1539d ago

Haven't played 9 yet. I need to

Shiken1539d ago

Auron is the best character in Final Fantasy IMO.

Sirk7x1539d ago

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

Shiken1539d 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_drake1539d ago

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

MWH1539d ago

Looks like a puzzle combination.
