Im really excited to play this again, I can see the platinum being rather challenging, maybe not challenging but time consuming

*Acquire All Creatures For The Monster Arena*

I could never master the water football game they play, I was rather young though, hopefully ill be able to make more sense of it 10 years later

Doubt Ill bother with X2, only ever played it for an hour, all I remember doing was swapping clothes in battle, wasnt for me

Nerdmaster4046d ago

It would be strange changing jobs and keeping the same clothes.

Snookies124046d ago

Yeah, but the way they went about it in X-2 was way too flashy lol.

Reibooi4046d ago (Edited 4046d ago )

I understood the whole costume thing but it was overly flashy for no reason.

X-2 is a real shame because the 2nd half of the game has a great story and is certainly worth playing. But the first half of the game is this Charlies Angels garbage that should have never been in the game. The tone shift from X to X-2 was jarring and that peppy pop tone goes away completely after the half way point of the story and gets pretty good but alot of people could not hold out that long.

Thantalas4046d ago

I love the screenshots. It makes me miss a good RPG adventure you can put you heart into. But I would really love to see Final Fantasy XII HD. I played some of it on a UK launch PS3 although there were stuttering problems with the FMV so I never got around to finishing it. But I loved the world and the characters and Fran.

limewax4046d ago (Edited 4046d ago )

Agreed, FFXII is an overlooked gem. Sure it didn't really have the typical FF story, it may have even been a little bit weaker than most FF stories due to the inclusion of Vaan.

But man that game had a hell of a world, I spent 140 hours traversing the lands of Ivalice, felling every hunt target and claiming every single weapon in the game. Even hitting lv 99 with all characters.

You know what? I'd do it all again if they released it in HD with trophies and I'd love every second of it

CLOUD19834046d ago

Agree about X-2 this game was the mark of doom for the whole FF franchise it was back then that the company go downhill & never make a comeback to the good old days since, who could have though that X-2 was just the start of the many more failures that follow after.

But the fail was guarantee with X-2 because it have something different from FFX on the cover, the SQUARESOFT logo was not there & something disgusting have take it's place something that every1 would learn to hate more & more with every new FF game after FFX, this hated "thing" was the SQUARE ENIX logo.

abzdine4046d ago

i hope this collection will make it to PS4 as well and it will be in 3D on PS3/PS4.

skyrimer4046d ago

It really is going to be 3d compatible?

BitbyDeath4046d ago

The entire PS1, PS2 and PS3 back catalogue is supposed to be available to play on PS4 so providing those promises are kept you should be able to find it.

FamilyGuy4046d ago

Those screen shots just reminded me of dodging 200 lightning bolts -_- was Lulu's weapon even worth it?

0:00 time placement of the Chocobo race was fun though and when Tidus learns his final attack he gets a matching move for bltzball that made the game a LOT easier.

Yeah those trophies. The magus sister, yojimbo and anima were all awesome.

shikamaroooo4046d ago

I never got 0:00 time, I spent so many hours trying.

limewax4046d ago (Edited 4046d ago )

It was quite difficult, but also it wasn't entirely skill based. Since the bird spawns were random and could come in large waves that section was pretty luck based.

I remember finding a trick though, it was good to stick right for the first half of the race, then as you cross middle of the Calms Lands it was best to shift over to the left a bit more. This worked for me pretty well provided you got the right bird and balloon spawn points.

TongkatAli4046d ago

I went through hell getting Tidus ultimate weapon. That damn chocobo kept beating me. I wanted to kill it and eat it after finally beating it, good times : D

uuaschbaer4046d ago

"0:00 time placement of the Chocobo race was fun"

"Fun" as in "Crucifixion is a lot of fun!" ?

DragonKnight4046d ago

@FamilyGuy: Are you saying there is a matching Blitz Ace move in Blitzball once you learn it as an Overdrive? Or are you talking about the Jecht Shots 1 and 2?

"0:00 time placement of the Chocobo race was fun."

Fun? If by fun you mean pulling fingernails out with needle nose pliers or putting blood stopper on a huge gash then yeah. I hated that more than anything else in the game including Lulu's and Kimahri's challenges.

FamilyGuy4046d ago

Yeah I think it was Jechts Shot, I got it when I got his final overdrive, the one where he jumps up and kicks the sword. It made scoring in blitzball a breeze.

The chocobo race was fun for me, all those times getting so close and by the end I was able to do it with no problem. I even got the 0:00 time for my younger brother because he was having trouble, and did it on less than 10 tries.

DragonKnight4046d ago

Jecht Shot 1 you can get on the ship to Luca if you hit the right buttons when Tidus tries to do it and his memories of Jecht discouraging him pop up. Jecht Shot 2 (which takes out 3 players instead of the 2 from Jecht Shot 1 and ends in an invisible shot) can be obtained as a Blitzball reward.

But yeah, I love this game. LOL.

This will be the first HD remaster I purchase, Square Enix finally giving the fans what they've been asking for.

FamilyGuy4046d ago

Same here, I'm really looking forward to this. I have yet to buy any other HD remasters/PS2 ports of any game but I'm getting this day 1.

I just hope the PS4 and it's games don't make me forget about it, considering the time frame it's set to release.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Joins Game Pass Tomorrow

The official Xbox Game Pass Twitter account announced that starting tomorrow Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster will be available on game pass.

Gaming4Life19811073d ago

I literally have this game on everything lol.

Abnor_Mal1073d ago

The game that got me into the Final Fantasy series, I actually stopped playing FF7 halfway through disc one back in 1997.

Teflon021073d ago

Personally the battle in this one legit make me fall asleep because they're so "do it the right way or no way". As a kid I loved it but as I'm older and play so much JRPGs. Definitely needed to be the ATB and not this one. But the story was something I loved

Kavorklestein1072d ago (Edited 1072d ago )

The game is actually live now.
I already unlocked an achievement on it and can I say: The grainy ass PS2 graphics still ended up looking great in HD. Of course, not leaps and bounds better, with old textures in some spots and old game design etc but it holds up beautifully and I'm excited for my 2nd ever playthrough. It has not lost it's charm for me personally.
And the Music! So good.

I wanna get better at blitz ball this time around tho

Eh. Never could get into it for long.
12 is my personal favorite. Followed by 6, 9, and 7.

gold_drake1511d ago

not surprising, ff fans who like 6 and 12, usually dont like the rest i feel.

Spenok1511d ago

I grew up on the series (played every single one of them when they were new).

6 is easily my favorite, followed by 14, then 11, then 12 and so on down the list.

There isn't a single one I haven't loved in some way. But 8, and then 2 are at the bottom of my list.

AK911511d ago

What’s wrong with 6?

Sirk7x1511d ago

Love 6, hate 12 lol. 9 my favorite by far.

bouzebbal1510d ago (Edited 1510d ago )

I really don't inputs which one is my personal favorite because there are so many, but I know for a fact it's not 10,13 and 15..
Ff12, despite cheesy characters, was a great game and the freedom of movement really helped. The ps1 episodes come first, including the ff5 ff6 remasters.
I later on played ff1 remaster on psp and I loved it!! Så yeah, hard top pick one.

bangoskank1510d ago

Not true. XII, IX, and VI are my favorites as well but I still love some of the others, just not as much.

Army_of_Darkness1509d ago

FF7 is by far my favorite FF game, great times and great memories.. then comes
FF8, FF6, FFX, FF12 and finally FF9.

12 doesn't feel like a FF game to me, but it's definitely a favourite rpg of mine.

1510d ago
babadivad1511d ago

I put a metric ton of time in on 12 but I couldn't tell you what the story was about. I spent most of my time hunting bounties. By the time I finished the game I had no clue what was going on.

1510d ago
RedDevils1511d ago (Edited 1511d ago )

12 is one of the worst. But 13 and 15 take the cake.

gold_drake1510d ago (Edited 1510d ago )

haha see, thats what i mean. theres, usually but not all the time, a pattern to final fantasy fans xD
i for one loath 12. i have no idea what the story was about, dont know any name for any city and only find Fran and Balthier great.
i love love love 7. dont like 2 at all. 6 and 9 are good but id rather play anything else tbh. 14 is good also but im no MMO person so i never got beyond the 3rd quest lol.

no hate, but ff fans are somewat predictable, based off on what they like xD in most cases.

ShinRon1510d ago

those are my top FF games but i have 6 at the top still.

SugarSoSweet1510d ago

12!!!?? is your favourite why? The characters are story was terrible..

DerfDerf1510d ago

I personally give the nod to 8 then 9, 7, 5

-Foxtrot1510d ago (Edited 1510d ago )

Final Fantasy V and XIV got better than FFVIII

Lightning, Orshvan Greystone and Noctis got a better ranking than Squall

Liberi Fatali didn't even make the music list...

Damn, I didn't think people still hated FFVIII...how sad.

Muzikguy1510d ago (Edited 1510d ago )

3 and 9 are my favorite. 12, 10, 8, 7, and 5 aren't bad either

I don't think I've played 6. I probably should sometime. I know I'd rather play an original not any of the remake versions.

VincentCastle1495d ago (Edited 1495d ago )

yes!
I love Final Fantasy 12. My favorite as well. Then followed by 9, 6, 7,14 and the others I like, but I can't quite put in a list.

darkwalker1511d ago

I agree. It is the best of the Final Fantasy games because it had the perfect balance of game play and exploration, coupled with excellent graphics for its time, an amazing story and phenomenal music. The sphere grid was simple, innovative and engaging and the side quests were fun and challenging. Its definitely my favorite.

specialguest1511d ago

My top FF:
It's difficult to decide between FF7 and FF6, but I'm leaning more towards FF7. Then FF6 is a very close 2nd, followed by FF4. FF4 got me hooked on the RPG genre. The story, character development, and music got me hooked. Before FF4, I never cared for video game characters and their fate in a game.

littletad1510d ago

Have you tried 9? It hearkens back to the earlier games, including 6. That's my favorite. Then 10.

specialguest1510d ago

Haven't played 9 yet. I need to

Shiken1511d ago

Auron is the best character in Final Fantasy IMO.

Sirk7x1511d ago

FFX could have had a fantastic prequel following their initial journey.

Shiken1511d ago

Instead we got a Sailor Moon style sequel to revive Tidus, and a canon comic that shits all over him in the worst way possible taking place immediately after that.

But yes, following Braska, Auron, and Jecht in a prequel would have been awesome!

gold_drake1511d ago

my faves are 5, 7, 8, 10, 13-2.

MWH1510d ago

Looks like a puzzle combination.
