Hell yeah FFX. What an awesome game.

The battle system was incredible, it had amazing music and the ending was brilliant plus Auron is a cool ass motherfucker. Can't wait to play it again!

I don't care about these, but hopefully they sell well enough to maybe open the door for a remastered FF12, you know, the best FF game.

I love X - my favorite Final Fantasy! I might get it for Vita, when I finally get my Vita. X-2 was terrible in comparison, I'm sorry... but I will probably play it again. I have no shame.

That reminds me I still have my save file on a memory card (remember those?) somewhere with a fully decked out 255 stats party, ready to take on Penance.

I really will have to get this. I like X a lot. It's amazing how much you wind up caring about what happens at the end considering how bad Tidus (is that his name?)'s voice acting and writing was.

This game still looks totally fine in its original form. It's one of the best (if not the best) looking games from the PS2. Aside from the ability to play it without having to plug in the old console, I don't see much point in this.

I agree. What they need to do is remake the PS1 games. The PS2 FF games look good enough as they are. But that is most likely why they are choosing FF10, because it looks so good there is not as much work they need to do.

FFX-2 was the last FF I completed. Played all of them since but FFX and X-2 where the last ones I really got into. And FFX-2 not nearly as much as FFX. I played FFX for about 130h. Only FF game I have played more is FF7.

@dagas: You should really give FFXII a whirl. It's deadly slow in the first few hours, but when you leave the initial city and get some party members it really winds up being pretty incredible.

Yeah, I'm up for another spin of FFX and FFX-2. I remember really digging the dress sphere combat system of FFX-2.

You want things that make no money though. They will never do something that loses them money just to please. No dev will do that. An HD version of FFX is possible and enough people are interested to make it work. If you take FFVII for instance, they'd have to start from scratch, because the stuff they have to work with is impossible to create a proper HD version of. They'd have to remake the entire game and then remake it specifically to the way it was? That's a LOT of work that probably costs more time and resources than a full fledged new game.

HD updated versions like this are financially viable. Remakes that recreate the exact experience are not. You won't ever see those remade for that reason.

I really enjoyed Final Fantasy X and X-2 back in the day. Good times but I doubt that they'd still be as appealing to me nowadays.

@hurricaneivan29: Definitely. Final Fantasy XII is where it's at. I remember putting off buying a PS3 because I was still playing it.

I assume the platinum trophy for this collection is probably going to take a minimum of 120 hours, and I might actually beat FFX-2 this time. I remember disliking that game so much because of how much I enjoyed X. We shall see.

Don't suppose we could get the japanese voices instead?

Fingers crossed. It will almost certainly be the determining factor for me. That crappy melodramatic voice acting makes my skin crawl.

It's the end of a generation. What's the point anymore? Most people I know aren't even going to keep their PS3 by the time the PS4 comes out. This should have been released after XIII as an apology for that pile of shit.

Game will tank because of that and Square will blame gamers instead of themselves. They did it with Hitman and Tomb Raider so they have a good track record.

The only reason FFIV got so much attention is because the director of that game is still at Square.

I guess I should be happy that they haven't tampered with FFVI. FFIV on DS with polygon graphics was an interesting idea, but couldn't ever live up to expectations. No matter what they do, the fans would think it was half-assed. Same thing with FFVII. They will never go through the trouble of remaking the game with lush sprites.

Big ol' meh for me. Not a fan of FFX in the slightest. The linearity, cringey writing and awful voice acting really let it down for me. Visually this looks fine, I guess, although this game's art style never really appealed to me. I'm sure it's perfectly adequate for a HD Remaster though. For those who enjoy FFX I'm sure this will be a great way to take a trip down memory lane, though I will stick to the pre-FFX titles myself.

@ike7779: Japanese voice acting is equally melodramatic and cringe-inducing if you understand what's being said. However, it at least makes sense within the context of the game. Given Squeenix's track record, you're probably going to have to buy the region-free Asia version if you want Japanese voice and English subtitles.
