FF X HD Remake has been announced!

[The Dark Crystal]

Not much information (None about the game either), but still I'm a bit excited. Wasn't my favorite FF game of all time, but I can assure you I will be picking it up just for old time sake. Still don't understand why they choose X out of the rest, but hey, beggars can't be choosers! Well I take that back, I have my theory.

Final Fantasy 10 HD Remake Coming To The PlayStation Vita And PlayStation 3 - G4tv.com

Since I'm not asking any questions, because obviously this is just an announcement thread, lets make this the official thread for open discussions about new information, and other things regarding to the FFX remake.

Thank you, come again!

They would make an HD Remake before the International Version for North America?

They would make an HD Remake before the International Version for North America?

That's what I was thinking, but I bet this is going to be our international version (If you catch my drift), they just wanted to wait to squeeze that extra coinage outta us. That would also give a lot of us a good reason to buy the HD Remake. Just my opinion!

[Polk]

Well I just came in my pants.

But if they know what's good for them, they'll be including all that nice international stuff.

[Elise]

I think a lot of people, especially FFVII fans, are going to rage about this
They just don't understand that it ain't gonna happen!

Every time Square Enix makes an announcement I can't help but wonder: What about Versus XIII? Seriously, they announced it over 5 years ago. I'm just curious if it has reached the dustbin.

I love X but I can't be excited with so few information, though it would be lovely to have it on my PS3, I hope they will add some updates and improvements to it =)

Square Enix confirmed that they are working 100% on versus and Type-O now since XIII-2 is 90% complete. Isn't that AWESOME NEWS!?

It is, but when one considers the fact that they are remaking X for HD....it kind of worries me. They say they are working on Versus XIII, but then again why did they announce X's remake? Why not wait until AFTER VersusXIII and Type-0 are done?

In my opinion, Square keeps taking way too many projects at once. I'd rather them work on one, possibly two projects at a time and make sure they are done right rather than announce four or even five projects and just put something half-done out on the market.

Yes, Final Fantasy XIV i'm looking at you.

Let's face it - since Fabula Nova Crystallis has been announced, we've seen XIII, XIII-2, Versus XIII, Type-0, Final Fantasy XIV and now an FFX remake. All massive games and all taking a considerable amount of time to properly develop and create. I'm all for Square wanting to push the envelope in a financially tight market, but finish what you start before making promises to customers and leaving them disappointed.

FVIII fans will be even more perturbed.
8 really is more suited for HD.

[smurphy]

Im still holding out that they will release X-2 and XII along with it, thus releasing the most
superlative package out of all the HD re-releases.

They could seriously make this game 50 times less cringeworthy by editing out Tidus's laughing. That was painful to watch. The option to skip cutscenes would be nice as well as the over-bloody-long tutorial sequences.

[Cain Highwind]

^This. I'm kinda lukewarm on X, but if it has new content and the upscales look good, I'll bite.

The reason why they're doing X and not VII is that it's FAR easier and cheaper to upscale and polish a PS2 game rather then redrawn and do practically everything from scratch for an FFVII remake. Hell, Sony actually developed an "engine" of sorts for upscaling PS2 games which is why we're getting things like this now.

[Rowan]

Fantastic news. Id love the portability of X. My vita is on pre-order so its good to hear that my favorite games will be available on it.

I know theyre remaking FF7 under our noses, so im not pissed off. Its only a matter of time. You honestly believe them when they say it will take 7 years? They create entire games from scratch in less than a couple of years. They already have the fundementals for locations, scenario, characters, world, battle system etc, dont be so naive.

The reason versus is taking a while to come out is because they've divided the staff into sections midway during the completion of versus and agito, and have the rest working on the FF7 remake. They already make the intro for it, they know what theyre doing. I dont have concrete evidence for this but the only reason they wouldnt remake FF7 is if they dont like money. The demand for a remake of FF7 is higher than any other game, they will not want to dissapoint. Much thought and care will be put into the remake and we'll probably see it in the next few years.

I thought the laughing scene was cool. It was a wtf moment, and I had a good laugh especially when the other characters commented on it

The tutorial was good, if you press x then it will skip the talking. That cuts down on some of the tutorial.

[Cereal~Killer]

I've never played FFX, so I think waiting for this remake would be a perfect time to start it.

I'd love an FFIX HD remake. I mean, just better, clearer graphics, but keep everything else the same, like character models and whatnot. And keep voices out. I think if they remade IX, adding voiceovers would be really unnecessary.

[The_Dream_Recluse]

Out of all the Final Fantasies to remake, why X? Don't get me wrong, it is a terrific game but considering Square Enix has remade FF1 - 6 for different consoles, you'd think they would remake 7, 8 and 9 first.

Hmm, just a bit unusual that's all.

As stated earlier, which is also my best guess is....

It's easier to make an HD remake of a PS2 game then a PS1 or even making the NES and SNES console into 3D or HD. Save more money to make more lol.

[loaf]

You do realize that Square Enix isn't just some company of 20 programmers and developers. They have teams of people working on games.


FFXIV is an MMO, MMOs are always being updated, mostly always suck at release. They screwed it up though but it's still a game that will bring in profit to the company to make more teams for more games.

So far only XIV has made people mad. Which is usually expected from an MMO imo.

[The_Dream_Recluse]

I know, but even still five games is a fair load to take on for the same group of programmers and developers. Not taking into account the other programmers and developers that work on other Square projects like the Star Ocean franchise (that is now ended) and a bunch of other games.

[Ryu-Kentoshii Hirokima]

Okay, I Totally Want Remakes Of Like Every Game FF Related To Come Out On A Home Entertainment Gaming System, So Whether It Is PS3, X-BOX 360, PS4, X-BOX 720, Or Whatever, I Don't Care, As Long As They Make HD Versions Of The Games, I'm Set For Life. I Want Them To Make HD Remakes, Cause I Believe All The Games I've Played So Far Were Good. It Would Just Be More Awesome If They Had Insane Graphics. I'm A Graphics Kinda Guy, So If It Looks Beautiful, I'm All Over That. All I want For The Remakes Is The Graphics To Be Improved, Thats It, Story Has To Stay The Way It Is, And Everything That Happens In The Game Should Look The Same, Just Better Graphics, And Like Using 3-D Characters Instead Of 2-D. That Would Be The Shiznit Right There. I Really Enjoyed FFX, So An HD Remake Is A Must For Me.

[Alisbet]

Sweet. FFX was one of my absolutely favourite games and I wonder how they are going to handle this game. I for example would like to see things such as Challenge Cloister of Trials, FFXIII like graphics and additional scenes with characters from X-2.

[Squall]

Really pumped for this. Haven't played FFX in years and hearing this news is nothing short of AWESOME

[loaf]

I've never heard any FFVIII fan talk about an HD remake.

[Vogue Star]

Woop, woop! FFX is my fave, on par with FFIX, or course. I agree with the others, though. Wouldn't it make sense to start with 8 & 9? Seven can wait. It's had enough spin-offs etc in recent years. I don't eant SE to overkill it

[Yoko]

FVIII fans will be even more perturbed.
8 really is more suited for HD.

Really? I'm with Loaf here. No one I have talked to had heard of a FFVIII HD remake, let alone even really wants one. I don't want them to touch that game. Unless they add more to it, I don't want them to touch it.

Wouldn't it make sense to start with 8 & 9?

No. Since it's easier to transfer data from a PS2 to the PS3 then it is to transfer data from the PS1 to the PS3, I don't see that happening. I see them remaking all of the ones for the PS2.

As for my thoughts, I really don't know. X is still rather fresh in my mind. If they were to make the remake, I would hope they would add something to it before I buy it. I played that game over and over and completed every aspect. If there's nothing new around a least a corner, I don't think it'll be worth it for me.

Personally, i would really like it if they added chocobo breeding into the game. Since chocobos are relatively frequent in the course of the game, it would be a welcome addition. What else do you think they should add?

A surprise of sorts: New areas, better airship capabilities, something along those lines. Why make a game that's already been out for a while with absolutely nothing to look forward to? Sure, they can make money because of the fact that it'll be HD, but I don't have an HDTV or the like. It would be pointless for me to buy it if it had nothing new to offer.

If they decide to put X-2 with it as well, I might reconsider.

[the_savior21]

im just kinda spit ballin here after readin through all this but i think there is alot that can be done with this game dont get me wrong defietly my favorite used to be viii but now its x. they did alot with vii and quite a bit with iv and there are quite is quite a bit that can be done with x

like im sure alot of people have after playing this game i did some looking around for anything i could on it and the story behind dream zanarkand and the war between bevelle and zanarkand and sin and its story quite frankley with everything out there the possabilities are endless. they actually could expand the whole end of the game into a game itself into one making yunalesca the first boss and finishing with BFA. If anyone ever played GOW kratos spends almost half the game on kronos' back obviously this is a stretch and would be overkill but it could be done aside from it there are still quite a few possabilities

For example SE could: Make a spin off from aurons point of view for braskas pilgramige etc, make a back story to X-2 on tidus and his wearabouts during the story (obviously he didnt disappear completely if you have the whole perfect ending scene) they could make a seperete POV game as a prequal with auron as a narrator to the story and different paths that bring the party together, they could make a game were it ends with the war of zanarkand and bevelle and the creation of sin another one that i think would be good completely is a completely "prequal" of sorts like crisis core is and that would be the story of wakkas brother chappu

i think the best games would be spin off but really only could do it with three charactors, Yuna which they arleady did (and even included rikku ) Auron with his pilgramige with braska like i said before and with tidus (not really a spin off) and his time during leading up to the perfect ending in X-2

[Halie]

My God, I don't even own a ps3 and I'm ****ing EXCITED. I will literally buy a ps3 just for this game. I know, that's stupid, but I've always wanted one anyway I just never got one, and now I have an extra reason.

I don't care that they're not remaking FFVII. **** FFVII Remake. Maybe Square are just trying to troll you.

[Sakaea]

So freakin' excited for this! X has always been one of my favorites, and with PS3 graphics it will be even more amazing. I definitely think they should redo X-2 at the same time and put it out as a package deal. I hope they do XII as well, just so I can play VII-IX on the PS2, then switch to the PS3 for the rest of the games. I hope they come out with VII on PS3 soon tho, that would rock. VIII I don't think needs any changes at all, and IX would be epic on PS3.

[joleine taylor]

final fantasy x is my favorite and the remake in HD will be awesome the graphics is going to be shit hot and with the graphics being supt up the game will sell really well. plus i'm going to get it when it come out the graphics will be great the cut scenes of the spring and the dance OMG and the aeon WOW its all going to be amazing when it come out and people play it they will be like amazed it will be mind blowing people will be staring with there mouths open and wide eyes like the amazed look. i just can't wait till it comes out.

[Tallulah]

Y'know, as much as I am against pointless remakes (I took the Final Fantasy VII remake rumours with much disdain) I actually wouldn't mind this. If only for the simple reason that I can't find my PS2 copy of FFX, and the one I bought to replace it does not make it past the opening FMV because it is so dirty/scratched (that was the worst £10 I ever spent... )

This might even get me to buy a PS3. Hmmm...
