Final Fantasy X and X-2 producer reflects on the innovative PS2 titles

Not much new, though I have no idea what Kitase is referring to when he says that they eventually prioritized resolutions over colors:

Kitase said:
As a result, we switched from focusing on the number of colors to making the game as high resolution as possible – and we did this about six months before the master deadline!


What's an example of a PS2 game that prioritized "colors"?

Funny story about X-2's name:

Kitase said:
It may sound odd, but one of the biggest challenges we faced when making Final Fantasy X-2 was what to call it. Having a sequel to a mainline game was unheard of, and when we suggested “X-2” the company was initially worried that it would be mistaken for Final Fantasy XII and turned it down. Since then, they’ve grown fond of it of course.


Making direct sequels to mainline FF games was a turning point for the company, one that I don't always think was for the best, but I appreciate that with their sequels they try something new mechanically and tonally. The Compilation is similar. To me that's interesting, and that's all I really want from my favorite media.

But I think the way that Final Fantasy games try to break away from preconceived ideas is something truly wonderful about the series – and Final Fantasy X-2 is a perfect example of that.

FFX is my favourite FF. One of the best stories ever with characters you just can't but care about.

Soundtrack is perfect as is the battle system, being the best turn based system I played.

Sphere Grid was great with enough freedom for the player to choose how will he play with every character.

Side content in International version was perfect. Dark Aeons are still one of the most challenging fights you could take.

All in all FFX is a classic that every fan of the genre should play.
