A lot of confusion surrounded the announcement of the "HD remake" of Final Fantasy X back at TGS, mainly because of Kitase using the word "remake". I dismissed this as a simple semantic error on his part, as I did not believe that Square Enix would actually remake the game, for a multitude of reasons. However, he's at it again in an interview with a german magazine in which he says that he "would like the remake to have the same quality as the original". Source
I still don't think that we will get a true remake à la REmake or Twin Snakes, but I wouldn't be surprised if the HD rerelease bears similarities to the treatment Ocarina of Time got for its 3DS incarnation. Not a full-blown remake, but definitely more than a simple HD port. Retouching the textures a little bit, character models and lighting, etc. Thoughts?
