Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD A Story of Blitzball And Jaggies (TGS Hands-On | GR)

"Final Fantasy X-2, on the other hand, suffered somewhat. The character models of the three main ladies looked nice enough; this is good, since so much of the draw is the battle system, which has the ladies changing outfits in mid fight. Every enemy and NPC looked completely out of place against these beautifully detailed heroines, though. It was a tour or Jaggy Central Park, and Yuna was my guide." -GR at TGS

Sad to hear x-2 is not shaping up as nice a x

fail HD remaster.. if you cant make both games look equally as nice then just stop or delayed the damn till next year.. Yuna Rikku Paine deserve it -_-

GeckoPutt3864d ago

If they delay this game any more, I'm going to choke the internet.

3-4-53863d ago

I could care less about X-2.

I've never played these games and all I care about is X.

The fact that X-2 comes with it is just a bonus.

My Reply -_-

and i have played and own x i just don't give a rats ass about that game -_-

bakagaijin783864d ago

I'm one of the few who actually enjoyed X2 (after getting past the overly fluffy exterior, I found an awesome battle system inside).

I'm disappointed to hear about the lack of attention to it, but I also wouldn't want the collection delayed any more because of it. I'm just way to anxious to replay these games again!

HarryMasonHerpderp3863d ago (Edited 3863d ago )

Loved the battle system and exploration in FFX-2.
I thought the story was garbage though.

Xof3864d ago

I'm calling BS on this. FFX and FFX-2 use almost 95% of the same assets--the same 3D models for NPCs, enemies, and world objects; the same textures; the same animation data; etc., etc. There's absolutely no reason the GAMEPLAY of the two games shouldn't look identical.

Also, baggies usually only result when a game isn't played at native resolution, and can be fixed easily enough. If these issues were present' it's likely--considering the games still have three more months of development to go through--that work on FFX-2 simply isn't as far along as FFX (which makes logical sense) and that the final effects (aliasing filters, etc.) have not yet been applied.

Which is a conclusion that anyone with half a brain would very naturally arrive at BEFORE writing a BS article.

knifefight3864d ago (Edited 3864d ago )

Well, two other websites seem to say the same thing. >_>
...and between the 3, they seem to make up all of the TGS previews of this game. So it's 100% of the TGS previews that make this claim.

Kotaku:
"Final Fantasy X-2 isn't looking quite as great. While it shares the visual improvements found in the FFX remaster, there was one extra visual blemish I noticed: The clashing character models."

http://kotaku.com/final-fan...

RPGLand:
"The 3 main girls were obviously more detailed than side characters and enemies, and seeing them together was a little weird, like they were from different games, but that might have been just the fact that I was a few feet further from the screen than I would have been, were I at home."

http://rpgland.com/previews...

So what seems definite is the way they look right now. That's how it looks and therefore, that's how a TGS preview is going to be reported. Readers know it's not the final product -- it says TGS preview right at the top. XD

But like you said, hopefully this gets fixed before release.

Hicken3864d ago

But the impression the article gives is that Square-Enix is deliberately cutting corners on X-2, rather than the more logical conclusion that once the changes are made to X, they'll be that much easier to move over to X-2.

Xof3864d ago

It doesn't matter if it's three people making a rubbish assumption, or three thousand. It's still a rubbish assumption.

knifefight3863d ago (Edited 3863d ago )

Hicken, if by "impression," you mean, "prediction," then yeah.

The article's phrases like...
"This is just my own conjecture here"
and
"I'd bet"
and
"I think"
and
"supposition"
...should be enough for anyone to discern that it is a prediction of the writer, not "giving the impression."

Xof:
So what happened when you played the game?

Hicken3863d ago

Riku is the white-haired guy from Kingdom Hearts. Yo can have him.

I'll take Rikku, the adorable blonde.

Hicken3860d ago

lmfao! that's classic! So glad I was drinking- or snorting- my Coke when I opened that... or I wouldda been snorting it, anyway.

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.

Gaming4Life19811080d ago

I literally have this game on everything lol.

Abnor_Mal1080d ago

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

Teflon021080d 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

Kavorklestein1080d ago (Edited 1080d 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_drake1518d ago

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

Spenok1518d 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.

AK911518d ago

What’s wrong with 6?

Sirk7x1518d ago

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

bouzebbal1518d ago (Edited 1518d 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.

bangoskank1517d 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_Darkness1517d 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.

1517d ago
babadivad1518d 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.

1517d ago
RedDevils1518d ago (Edited 1518d ago )

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

gold_drake1518d ago (Edited 1518d 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.

ShinRon1518d ago

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

SugarSoSweet1517d ago

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

DerfDerf1517d ago

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

-Foxtrot1517d ago (Edited 1517d 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.

Muzikguy1517d ago (Edited 1517d 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.

VincentCastle1502d ago (Edited 1502d 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.

darkwalker1518d 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.

specialguest1518d 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.

littletad1518d ago

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

specialguest1517d ago

Haven't played 9 yet. I need to

Shiken1518d ago

Auron is the best character in Final Fantasy IMO.

Sirk7x1518d ago

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

Shiken1518d 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_drake1518d ago

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

MWH1517d ago

Looks like a puzzle combination.
