Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster [PS3/PS4/Vita]

[Lex]

Well that's just beautiful!

 

[Tetsujin]

It is, but...I have to say, it does completely alter the mood of the original.

 

[Lex]

I know what you mean, but it's just so damn tranquil that it embodies Besaid so well for me.

EDIT: I thought that frog noise was gone but it's not, it's just really toned down

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Were it a fan homage I'd probably like it a lot more. Besaid's theme has been one of my favorite pieces from the series for 12 years. Imagining this in the game is just pissing me off.

Sorry to continue my "the HD remaster does not impress me" parade raining, but the HD remaster does not impress me.

 

[ForceStealer]

Ohhh. I was getting all ready to post "shrug, I like it." Then the violin kicked in at 1:13.

I really like it. The beginning sounds like it's going to feel really different like Tets says, but I think that once it gets going it's not terribly different. I like that the little staccato electric piano bits around 1:56 are still there. You still get that warbling keyboard. And dat violin.

 

[Tennyo]

That remix is absolutely gorgeous, but I'm not sure how I feel about using such a slow tempo song for Besaid. It's going to be kind of jarring... :/

And wow, Tres disliked it so much he didn't even like the post!

I think the violin was probably added to give more of a Japanese flavour to the piece. It kinda works, but its a bit too loud or something.

You can both kiss my ass. =P

 

[ForceStealer]

I noticed that too.

And, you know, on FF4 Complete for PSP, on the main menu there was an option to pick to either the original midi soundtrack or the redone orchestrated one. Are we sure that's not going to be the case for this too? That way you all have to find something else meager to be displeased about.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

You better believe it.

 

[Tennyo]

They didn't give us that option with KH, I have my doubts they will do it with FFX.

 

[ForceStealer]

They redid the music for KH? I didn't know that.

 

[Tennyo]

Some of the songs, not all of them.

 

[Tetsujin]

All of the Shimomura music in KH1 actually.

[AvecAloes]

Nice.

 

[AvecAloes]

Found some new screens from both X and X-2.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Kitase confirms that the Remaster edition will have all of X-2 International+Last Mission's extra content.

He's also revealed that SE outsourced the development, but that the original games' developers had to approve things and requested revisions. That may explain the differences we've seen in the HD images over time -- i.e., why the characters didn't look so much like themselves in early screenshots.

 

[AvecAloes]

Here's a gallery with a few new screenshots added as of today.

 

[Lex]

Can't get over how awesome this looks. Yuna's hair is a bit dark here though, probably just the lighting:

Spoiler

 

[Tetsujin]

More screenshots

 

[Lex]

CG image has become the one you focus on the characters have "Tiida", "Yuna", "Wakka", "Kimarimasu", "Aaron", "Lulu" and "backpack".

Apparently Rikku is "backpack" in Japan, according to Google

EDIT: BAHAHAHA

Kimarimasu
"skill of the enemy" overdrive skill decided. It is possible to shoot the skill of monsters to learn. It is possible to learn and skills to strengthen friendly other attacks on enemy such as "diarrhea Turn" and "Mighty Guard".

Oh god, I have to keep reading XD

EDIT2:

Spoiler: OOOOOO, Sphere Grid

Unfortunately, they appear to be using the expert sphere grid here. I hope the option for the normal one is still available, I'll be needing the 200 extra nodes to max my stats. And by that I mean the standard european/ international one, because the american version was lacking about 100 spare nodes aswell IIRC.

And finally, one last bit of Engrish:

It is collected this story leading to FFX-2 be HD mosquitoes.

Google translate <3

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Mosquitos in high def -- 'cause seeing them fuckers drain your blood with motion blur just won't cut it.
