Really excited for this, never had the chance to play this on PS2 so ill be playing on my vita. I've only heard great things bout the FFX and bad things bout FFX-2. And it looks great so far.

Alos884040d ago

X-2's battle system was pretty good, it'd much faster than X's, and there are a lot of sidequests- it's not all bad.

Irishguy954040d ago

So long as you tune out you brain while you're playing it. I'd much rather FF12 HD over X-2...never got to play that one :(

hkgamer4040d ago

X-2 battle system was great. Never got to finish the game though, so this would be a good opportunity.

@irishguy96

FFXII was amazing but you have to understand that X-2 is the easier option since they are already upscaling the models for X.

For them to upscale XII would take years longer.

vikingland14040d ago

@r21
I'm in the same boat as you . I never got around to playing FFX .And I am getting it for the Vita. I think It's going to look and play great on the Vita.

AusRogo4040d ago

Final Fantasy X is the only FF I enjoyed, its really good!

3-4-54040d ago

Never played the OG games but I'm kind of excited for these. The music in this game is amazing though and I've heard the story is good as well.

All these good RPG's coming to PS3 so late in it's life cycle. Don't own one though.

It's coming to Vita too right ? Maybe I'll just buy one of those.

Snookies124040d ago

Yep Vita as well. If you have never played FFX. I HIGHLY recommend it. The game's music, world, characters, and story are all top notch.

zeddy4040d ago

good game, decent story and the last game before squaresoft went all squareenix and ruined everything.

Sanquine904040d ago

Love to play this on the go:D Vita it is! JRPG feels far better on portable...

Rush4040d ago

Nothing feels better on a portable, except maybe Angry Birds.

@nm97 Who are you calling an idiot? I am playing my 3ds and vita far more than my ps3, wii u and xbox 360. Hd graphics are nothing if you have a shiny screen and marvelous gameplay

hkgamer4040d ago

JRPG's are great on a portable device(vita). It hides alot of the bad textures because of small screen.
Another reason why JRPG's are great on a handheld si because of all the grinding needed on those games. Some grinding parts can get a little boring, so doing those grinding chores on a commute can be brilliant.

adorie4040d ago

You should no by now that Angry Birds gets no love on N4G. Lol.

You know that nm97 was talking to the guy who said "Nothing feels better on a portable" right? Lol. :]

chikane4040d ago

so where is x-2 in HD ? all i seen so far is just x in HD

sinncross4040d ago

Probably advertising one half of the remaster now, so they cna release another trailer in a little while to advertise FFX-2.

makes for an easy 2nd showing to continue the marketing.

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow190d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga190d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183189d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB189d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic189d ago (Edited 189d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo189d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic189d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.

FFX and FFX-2 Do Not Need a Sequel

As a complete duology, Final Fantasy X and X-2 just do not need a sequel. These games provided us with satisfying conclusions to the characters' journeys and meaningfully wrapped up their arcs. And after the terrible way -Will- presented its narrative, feeling more like an attempt to capitalize on the previous game's success than a well-crafted and meaningful sequel, that's all the more reason to just let FFX be what it already is. Any further attempts to force a sequel will only diminish the legacy and impact of Final Fantasy X and X-2.

If they do another one, I'd really like to see more of a focus on the connection to FF VII. Since it was confirmed that they take place in the same world. Let's just keep the pop star element out of it for the next one... I really enjoyed X-2 as a game, but man that decision for Yuna and Rikku's character direction wasn't the right choice.

shinoff2183318d ago

The connection to 7 would be dope af. I can even begin to think how'd they do it. I mean storywise and stuff I know about the Shinra stuff and everything. I'd be down with a 10 3

-Foxtrot318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

Nope

https://www.finaland.com/?r...

It wasn't supposed to be taken seriously

"This story is a bit of a joke. When we created FFX-2, we wanted to create something, a totally new world. Except that when I created it, I realized that it looked a lot like FFVII ... But without realizing it. Afterwards, when it was officially said in Ultimania, it took a completely gigantic proportion when it was just an anecdote"

Thank God anyway

It's better when each FF is a different Universe

Snookies12318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

Except, it is canonically connected in the VII Remake. There's a Shinra character in X-2, who is actually shown in a picture on the wall in the Shinra HQ in Remake. Meaning at the very least, X and VII share the same world in the Remake version.

CrimsonWing69318d ago

@Snookies12

I thought they said that was just a joke:

―It’s a sequel to VII?!!
Kitase: “No, that was halfway a joke. However, in FFVII’s ending, Holy was supposed to settle things, then it’s suddenly ‘500 years later,’ and there’s been nothing like a sequel for it. There’s room to fill in that gap. There’s room for imagination. Since Nojima-san and Toriyama-san have worked together since then, talk that it could be possible with those staff members built up for a moment.”

―So, how did talk of it as a sequel to VII come up?
Nojima: “I felt that VII and X had a relatively connected feeling, that VII has an essence there.”

―Ehh, so VII and X are connected?
Nojima: “No, there isn’t much to it. For example, what happens when people die is fundamentally the same in my mind. I wrote both stories following the same idea. At times, other thoughts pop up, though. Pyreflies are green here and there, and other colors besides.”

https://thelifestream.net/c...

I think they were just having fun and making a gag out of it.

Name Last Name318d ago

@Snookies12 those are just easter eggs

-Foxtrot318d ago

@Snookies12

Easter eggs man nothing more

Like I said it's better for them to have their own Universe then being connected

I mean think about it...FFVII and FFX are completely different outside of those small little things, the worlds are like Night and Day

Flawlessmic319d ago

Nope but I sure would love a remake of ffx, my fav ff game along with 9.

JokerBoy129318d ago

Oh man, never thought I'd see someone with the same favorites as me lol. We're supposedly getting a remake of 9 at some point. I'm hoping we get something new from the FFX universe.

shinoff2183318d ago

I cannot wait for the remake of 9. It's got me pumped and it's not even official. Ff9 is damn near perfect imo

Abnor_Mal318d ago (Edited 318d ago )

I just saw a video about a rumor that Sony may have secured the rights for FF9 exclusivity for some possible remake.

Skip ahead to the 2:30 mark

Okay didn’t see others already said it

gold_drake319d ago

technically, they already do. in form of a novel and audio thing.

but .. i dunno. ive always wanted a prequel with the three guys.

not sure what else there is to tell about Spira.

shinoff2183318d ago

Sorry for the spoiler if true

Is it true if you complete x2 100 percent tides comes back in some way. I never 100 percented it.

Name Last Name318d ago

Yes, the Fayth ask Yuna if she wants to see him and they dream him up again.

shinoff2183318d ago

Thanks. That pretty much what I read.
