I am, aren't I? It's a good thing I'm so humble and modest, or else I'd feel the need to flaunt my brilliant retorts repeatedly and would seem insufferable.

I think people were hoping that they were switching in all the high-poly models from the cut scenes into normal gameplay. While that would be nice, SE never said anything remotely like that. :P

Yeah, except that just wouldn't work, even with today's (or tomorrow's hardware). The cutscene models are made out of millions of polygons without any optimization, then sent to a render farm. I dunno how long the FFX cutscenes took to render, but I'm sure it's a lot - and computers of today aren't yet as powerful that they can render stuff like that in real time.

In truth, there's only so much they can do in HD re-releases. Boosting the resolution to full HD shouldn't be a problem if the games were properly built back in the day. They could probably also remove some optimizations, like using low-quality textures, but only if they still have the original source material (which, I believe in the case of FFVII, was sadly lost at one point).

A proper HD remake would require artists and stuff redoing textures and models and things. Which is doable, but takes some investment.

They're not talking about the CGI models in FMVs.

FFX, KHs, and FFXII use two sets of ingame models. One is just for general gameplay, then there's the ones featured in the ingame cutscenes, with completely detailed faces.

You should try again Locke ! The ending and everything is really worth it, truuuust me. <: Though don't worry about failing while playing a FF. I failed at FF6 and FF9, like six times, before eventually getting to the ending xD

Oh and now the ending will be in flashy HD, so it will be even more worth it ! <:

Are they going to fix the horrible timing of the dialogue scenes? Because the voice acting would be so much more bearable if it was actual dialogue and not line-pause-line-pause-line-pause, stilted, awkward, unfunny, distracting, hamfisted, overweening, donkey-raping shitpile it is.

Or better yet, actually remake the game and get a better director to redub it. You can keep the same actors, just, you know, don't direct them like George Lucas.

Spruce up the Dissidia models, re-make every game starting with 1. For the latest console, not a fucking handheld, not a fucking old system. It won't take shitloads of manpower, just rendering time. It would turn a profit -- more of a profit than releasing another online game that nobody buys.

Honestly, though, sprucing up the Dissidia models and making some shitty fucking houses will serve perfectly fine for the first three games. It's not like they need story consultants, art designers, script writers, gameplay programmers, or any of that shit, just a handful of monkeys to copy down data and add some polygons. A paltry price to pay for a revived fanbase and a new pile of assets.

After playing Infamous, Assassin's Creed and Uncharted, 'treasure' finding isn't that bad to me anymore xD

I hope they have boss trophies! Maybe like beating a certain boss quickly or something. I like stuff like that.

And before the end of March next year is it's intended time period of release!

I could conceivably platinum FFX. This is one of the few games I've mastered.

Ass creed, Infamous, and possibly uncharted are good games to train your treasure hunting skills for games like these. Couldn't have said it better myself, jason mah boy.

Infamous at least had a thing to help you find them. Which was helpful when looking for those last few :monster:

Uncharted(s) I only managed to find all the treasures cause I looked in every nook and cranny. EXPLORE ALL THE THINGS! AssCreed I was like, fucking feathers... no way. lol

Last time I tried ass creed on a bootlegged version on a friend's ps3, it fucked the game over since certain feathers won't appear or the game got screwed by glitches. Word to the wise, children, don't use bootlegs anymore.
