EU Release CONFIRMED!

I'm delighted to announce that FINAL FANTASY X and FINAL FANTASY X-2 will both be getting the high definition treatment - being released in Europe this year!

For those of you who love to lounge around at home with your PlayStation 3 and a big telly, you’ll get both FINAL FANTASY X and X-2 bundled together on one disc, called FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster. If however you find yourself always on the go, trying to sneak in a quick gaming session during your lunch break, then FINAL FANTASY X HD Remaster and FINAL FANTASY X-2 HD Remaster will be available separately for PS VITA.

Final Fantasy fans will be excited to know that they’re not just getting a mind-blowingly beautifully HD version of the game they love, oh no! Both games are based on the International version, which is the most complete, feature-heavy iteration of each game to release. The International version of FINAL FANTASY X-2 never made it to European shores before, so there’s quite a chunk of additional content for you to dive into!

he International version of FINAL FANTASY X introduces an Expert version of the Sphere Grid in which all the characters start in the middle and you can choose any path… but there are fewer nodes and therefore a decrease in the number of upgrades available – challenging indeed! This edition also includes new abilities, new superbosses (Dark Aeons and Penance), and more.

FINAL FANTASY X-2 is also getting the International treatment, high definition graphics and more content than I can list! But you’ll have to wait a little bit longer until we reveal the full list of enhancements and extra features.

So all in all that’s pretty great stuff, huh? We know you’ve been eager to hear more so let me leave you with the exciting news that you’ll be getting a trailer on March 25 – make sure to pop back here then!

OMG! We're getting the international version of FFX-2!

Some parts are looking as polished as XIII, with the international X-2, they've probably had the actors back for more voice acting too, hopefully they will replace "Him" with "Tidus" in the the speech.

Just to drive home how good of a remaster this is

[Tom4784]

I've decided to cancel my PS4 pre-order, There's too many good games coming out for the PS3 at the end of the year so I'll wait on the PS4 for a year or so.

A good comparison between X and HD here

You can see why it's taken so long for them to bring it out, it's more then just a touch up. I'm quite interested to see the CGI scenes now as well as how X2 looks. I'm guessing now that the characters have expressive faces in all the scenes, Square might have had to do some more animation work.

I kind of want to see what the other characters like Donna and Isaaru look like now that they'll have proper faces.

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, it looks as if pretty much all the textures have been polished, look at the flowers in the background, the game is gonna look beautiful.

[Tom4784]

Just look at Wakka's gloves and Lulu's dress and hair. The difference is startling.

[Scarlett.]

Look at the boobage! If you thought they bounced before.....oh boy

What going on with Tidus' face? It doesnt look the same

[Scarlett.]

I've just realised, these are probably shots from the Playstation Vita build, which explains why they are a bit lacking in certain areas. PS3 build will most likely be better.

[Tom4784]

It's a bit of a crappy trailer, I was expecting something a bit more meaty and the lack of X-2 was disappointing.

[Scarlett.]

I agree, perhaps this was an early trailer, it didn't seem well edited.

This is how I was able to tell that it was on the Vita.

New look battle screen, looks a bit cleaner


Old look



Cutscenes look a lot cleaner too, plus the low res models are gone

X-2 comparison

Most anticipated game out of anything coming out.

Did you ever think to yourself, "Hey, Final Fantasy X and X-2 are good and all, but what they really need is another 30-minute cut-scene during the credits?" You're in luck!

According to the Japanese publication Shounen Jump (as translated by Siliconera), the upcoming HD remakes of FFX and FFX-2 (to be released on PS3 and Vita this fall) will come with a 30-minute cut-scene that plays over the compilation's credits—presumably at the end of FFX-2.

I reached out to Square Enix earlier today for confirmation/further details, and I'll update if I hear back from them. Hopefully they don't go all Harry Potter on us: if this scene is set in the distant future and Tidus and Yuna have a kid named Jecht Auron I'm gonna break my TV.

Apparently the main theory is that it's going to be Last Mission in cutscene form.
