New Zealand EB Games banner shows Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD may release in October

Zachary at Save/Continue says, "Square Enix has been only too keen to advertise its latest bundles of classic titles, reimagined in high definition. With Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMIX now available worldwide, we are still left to wonder just when the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster set will be coming out. Amazon still has its “tentative” release date set at the end of the year, and online searching has yielded no results. However, thanks to my super sleuthing, we may have a more defined release window available for you."

Would make sense for it to arrive alongside the new vita model.

Zotaku873870d ago

I agree. With the TVita releasing and there being a FFX/X-2 +Vita bundle coming out, it makes the most sense.

abzdine3864d ago

cross save but no cross buy!
i will only buy it if i can get the digital vita version for free after buying PS3 version.

MRMagoo1233870d ago

I cant believe there is an EB in NZ , i thought all the Kiwis had moved here to Australia now, it seems that way any who lol.

ironfist923870d ago

Why would we when the ratings system in Australia is terrible?

jazzlover5113870d ago

and why would all of them move to Australia? It doesn't seem like that at all, man

OrangePowerz3870d ago

Looking forward to playing FF10 again it was a good game and far better than the FF13 games.

LightSamus3870d ago

I'd be more than okay with that but it'd be unusual for Square not to have publicly acknowledged the date if it's so soon.

Zotaku873870d ago

That's actually why I listed this as a rumor instead of actual news. My fingers are crossed that we'll finally be given a solid release date at the Tokyo Game Show next week. If this October window is to believed, TGS really seems to be their last shot to advertise to get pre-orders.

rawshack3870d ago

im from new zealand and went to eb games yesterday and sore the release poster listed as oct .it had a small shot of a special edition with some art book i pre orderd right there on the spot .the guy said theres no date just in oct some time

GeckoPutt3870d ago

I completely agree with you - it seems that TGS is their last window of opportunity to announce the release date of these games (finally!) During E3 they did say that they would, "utilise events to give information regarding this game". TGS is the final big gaming event this year; I don't see an alternative.

... Unless of course that rumour about it being delayed until 2014 is true, and if that's the case I'm going to shit a yak.

Xof3870d ago

Really looking forward to this after KH1.5. As much as I'm unaccustomed to saying anything positive about Square-Enix, they did a really impressive job on the HD port (or "remake," if you're a Nintendo fanboy). Well, even if the whole LE thing was/is an atrociously ugly affront to my sensibilities.

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.

Gaming4Life19811071d ago

I literally have this game on everything lol.

Abnor_Mal1071d ago

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

Teflon021071d 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

Kavorklestein1071d ago (Edited 1071d 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_drake1509d ago

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

Spenok1509d 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.

AK911509d ago

What’s wrong with 6?

Sirk7x1509d ago

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

bouzebbal1508d ago (Edited 1508d 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.

bangoskank1508d 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_Darkness1507d 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.

1508d ago
babadivad1509d 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.

1508d ago
RedDevils1509d ago (Edited 1509d ago )

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

gold_drake1508d ago (Edited 1508d 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.

ShinRon1508d ago

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

SugarSoSweet1508d ago

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

DerfDerf1508d ago

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

-Foxtrot1508d ago (Edited 1508d 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.

Muzikguy1508d ago (Edited 1508d 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.

VincentCastle1493d ago (Edited 1493d 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.

darkwalker1509d 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.

specialguest1509d 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.

littletad1508d ago

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

specialguest1508d ago

Haven't played 9 yet. I need to

Shiken1509d ago

Auron is the best character in Final Fantasy IMO.

Sirk7x1509d ago

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

Shiken1509d 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_drake1509d ago

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

MWH1508d ago

Looks like a puzzle combination.
