Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Coming to PS4

NeoGAF member De-mon has made an interesting discovery. The French version of Square-Enix's online store, the Square-Enix Boutique, accidentally published a page containing info about the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster coming to PS4. On the page was a box art and description of the game.

[-Foxtrot]

Probably something they would do, it's why I held off buying the PS3 version, same goes for Kingdom Hearts Remix...although I finally got that because of the amazing collectors edition.

I hope they do a Steelbook for this.

[Jubez187]

Been playing it on my PSTV, but I would get KH 2.5 on PS4 if they do it. Ugh those Seymour battles though >.>

[WitWolfy]

I hate Seymore.. First trying to get those basted celestial weapons.. Sure is a bitch

[Mankey]

LOL

this is just going to make people even more ANGRY about the PS4 exclusive

Final Fantasy VII thing. . .

FYI, we all need to relax a bit over this, was it Square Trolling, Yes in a sense, but maybe if this does well enough, they will see sufficient consumer demand to make a remake, besides is letting the next generation of PlayStation gamers play this really that bad of a a thing?

[badz149]

A remastered version of a remastered games on PS4? and so it begins...

SMH

[scark92]

No! I just beat it! theres no way I am getting it again! I gave up the platinum! I aint doing no lightning dodging!

[EmptySkyForm]

IKR, I did the choccabo and the lightning dodging too, it took forever! And leveling up every character maxed again? I have no idea why I feel the need to get this too. -_-

[PoSTedUP]

didnt get this yet on vita, any good?. tryna beat ff9 atm, then i think im going for the FFIII remake they did for psp.

[stragomccloud]

They really should've changed that. Dodging lightning 200 times is just stupid.

[DeadlyOreo]

Did the lightning first time, the chocobo race was annoying as hell. However, having to start a whole new save file because I was missing one al-bhed primer was infuriating.

[Transporter47]

The only thing im missing for my platnium is the lightning dodges.

[user5575708]

i refuse to do the lightning dodging. only time i did it was with emulator and save states.

as for ffx HD on the vita...they just want an excuse to charge $40 for the game again

[WildArmed]

Did them both.. chocobo was Ok.. but dat lightning.

And I doubt they can make the game look any better, so no PS4 version for me.

[CaptianUsopp]

i used to think that the lightning shit was impossible, and i dreaded the day when i didn't have any other choice but to do it. because i really want that platinum trophy of my favorite game. how do i know you can do it? because i finally did that shit! greatest day in the history of mankind. there is a place on thunder plane where the lighting strikes every time you move over there. so go back an forth until you have a rhythm, with the no encounter weapon on its just matter of time. sure you will fail when you have 195 dodges, like me. but don't give up! you will do it! i believe in you! now GO!

[bangoskank]

Same. Got all summons and weapons in this game when it came out for the ps2. Loved it then but don't need to play it again. I would play FFIX and XII again however. Would like to see those remastered but won't get my hopes up.

[GameSpawn]

There is a trick to the lightning dodging. There is a flash every time before the lightning strikes and a spot that hits 100% of the time and once you get the timing down it can be easy but still time consuming (I did it after a few failures on the PS2).
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

As far as Platinuming, these games rank up there in difficulty only due to the sheer amount of obnoxious time involved and mindless hours spent grinding.

[Magicite]

Me too, havent bought FFX,KH1+KH2 Remasters, but I really want them. But if its true, that they are coming to PS4, Ill just keep waiting.

[bjmartynhak]

Waiting for Kingdom Hearts Remix on PS4 too.

[TheOnlyMastrx]

I just got the first Kingdom Hearts 1.5 ReMix, will wait to see if they bring those to PS4 before I go out and buy 2.5

Hopefully they do, I don't have a PS4 yet but Kingdom Hearts ReMix's would be a nice game to start with when I do get one.

[nitus10]

I very much doubt I would get FFX and FFX-2 for the PS4 since I already have the games for the PS2 and since I have an original FAT PS3 those games look really good on my HDTV.

Don't get me wrong FFX was a really good game but like most but not all FF games is fairly linear. Personally I still preferred FFXII since it has huge maps and IMHO was a much more open game than all the FF games I have ever played.

Remasters of earlier games are quite good for those people who don't have the original game and would like to play them on their PS3 and/or PS4, however many PS2 games do display (via the original FAT PS3's) rather well on a decent size HDTV and the gameplay is pretty much the same.

[zero_gamer]

Eh, if this collection has a separate list of trophies, I may buy it (used, mind you). The PS3 version I bought when it came out is good enough otherwise. Though I am really concerned about all the double-dipping that Square-Enix has been pushing for this new generation of gaming. Makes me wonder why Square-Enix even bothered with the PS3 at all if they know the PS4 would've been better for the collection, but then again their agenda is to double-dip.

I've said this a year ago when they announced TR Definitive Edition that the market will be flooded with so-called definitive remasters. I don't mind saying "told you so." There's going to be plenty more where they came from. Then comes a cheap port FFVII PC version, as seen on PSX.

[antikbaka]

don't think there was a point into not buying both those games for ps3. ps4 price is gonna be higher but graphics quality the same

[x5exotic]

Dude Fuck FFX seriously, I'm getting sick and tired of them milking the most emo and melodramatic game again and again.

When are they remaking XII?

[Gamer1982]

Glad I held off on PS3 version in fact not bought a ps3 game since I got my ps4 but really fancied this so am glad it's coming out on ps4 that and the ff13 collection for pc.

[rajman]

Square Enix took down the link to the game...plot thickens

[AKissFromDaddy]

lol

[Relientk77]

Are we gonna call Scooby Doo and the gang, to solve this mystery

[NikX]

Or better yet how about Sherlock Holmes? ;)

[Relientk77]

^yeah or assign Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law to the case

[Marcello]

Well after that FF7 port announcement i think a Psychiatrist is needed more than anything else.

Hopefully this is true, FFX on PS4 would be nice if they add some stuff like Dolby 5.1 Surround which was not added to the PS3 rls for some odd reason. Knowing Square though, it will just be a straight port of the PS3 version with nothing added.

[Muzikguy]

I didn't get the Kingdom Hearts games so if they came to PS4 I'd buy them up right away! It would be a shame though it they were just straight ports. SE is getting so greedy lately

[Snookies12]

The Kingdom Hearts games are fantastic in HD. Although, there are several small issues with 2.5 unfortunately (doesn't make it any less of an incredible collection though). Hopefully if they are released for PS4, those small issues will be worked out.

[WeAreLegion]

This won't fill the Final Fantasy VII HD-shaped hole in my heart...

...but it will help.

[nitus10]

If you have the original PS1 version you can play it on your PS3 if you have one although it may not look all that great on a decent sized HDTV.

There is supposed to be a FFVII HD (PC edition) coming to the PS4 though.

[WeAreLegion]

Thanks, but I already own that version. I was alluding to the total troll Square Enix pulled the other day.

[Mankey]

Hahaha I have a feeling this is just going to make people even more angry

[TricksterArrow]

Interesting. So Final Fantasy X HD re-release on PS4 deserves a footnote, while Final Fantasy VII "HD" re-release deserves a stage presentation. Huh.

[Transporter47]

Just consider that a ps2 game looks so much better than a ps1 game.

[mydyingparadiselost]

Guess I can scratch Milk of the grocery list...

[Relientk77]

Milk spoils, video games don't

[mydyingparadiselost]

I wouldn't be so sure about that...
*Smells Silent Hill HD Collection*

[Knightofelemia]

Hopefully if they do this they remake the game so it looks better then the PS3 version. I don't want a shotty port of one of the greatest FF games.

[gprime]

Putting that much effort into a port goes against everything squenix stands for

[Knightofelemia]

But whats the point of buying a game that looks very close to its PS3 cousin.

[kayoss]

Some people who have a PS4 may be a new Playstation adopter and probably never played the Ps3 version of this game. May not own a PS3 or PS vita either. This give PS4 owners who never played this version and chance to own probably one of the greatest final fantasy game.

[SoapShoes]

But they did a decent job at the PS3 update...

[Snookies12]

It doesn't need to look better than the PS3 version. The PS3 version looks great, and runs great.

[Relientk77]

Damn, I already got it on PS3

but that's cool, I'm all for bringing more JRPGs to PS4

[Hellsvacancy]

So did I (digital) I hope I/we get some sort of discount, it's Enix so i'm not getting my hopes up

[izumo_lee]

Probably just a mistake on the part of the website but knowing how Squarenix handles things these days i wouldn't be that surprised if it is true.

They have become the biggest trolls in the gaming industry.

Like with the right people in place they can do wonders. For example the resurrection of FF 14. That game was a trainwreck when it came out, but given the right people (YoshiP & comp.) they were able to turn that game completely around into the money maker it is now.

Sad that a company that has such a rich history has become such a shell of their former selves.

[masterfox]

ughhhh

[Tapani]

I hope they give you a free upgrade from PS3 version. I gave my PS3 away and sometimes want to play FFX again.

[ceedubya9]

have the Vita version and held off on the PS3 one. If cross saves work on PS4 I'll definitely get that one.

[johny5]

If Sony actually released a patch to enable 4k output, we could actually play these remasters at 4k! A 4k Kingdom hearts collection I would buy, not for the resolution, but for the expanded color support!

[8BitSoul]

I like your thinking, but this simple isn't possible on the PS4, as it doesn't output anything above 1080p for games.

Shuhei Yoshida said this on the subject: "The PS4 supports 4K output, but only for photos and videos; not games. PS4 games do not work on 4K."

Thinking back to the PS3 "HD Classics" line of releases, most of the titles, if not all, were 720p, which is weird, considering the PS3 should be more than capable of rendering PS2 games in 1080p. As for the PS4, it's not that the console couldn't handle it for PS2 games, it just doesn't support it :(

If you have a 4K TV, you could just upscale the image to your TV's native resolution, which should increase the color and image quality a bit.

[PirosThe4th]

But kingdom hearts and ffx HD are fullhd already on ps3 wtf is the point

[Gemmol]

@pirosthe4th for more money

[GokuSolosAll]

Just quit fucking around and do FFX-3 already.

[ABeastNamedTariq]

I'll buy it! Never played them before.

[kythlyn]

Even if this is true, I doubt the game will be much improved on PS4... unless they actually put more resources into further remastering it, which seems very unlikely.

[8BitSoul]

The PS3 version was 720 @30fps with FXAA and 1080p without any AA. It would be pretty dumb if they didn't increase those numbers to 1080p/60fps. Also, don't forget that the PS3's internal upscaler wasn't all that good, often "mudding" and "blurring" the image. If the game runs native at 1080p on PS4, there should be quite a noticeable difference in color, clarity and sharpness.

[kythlyn]

If that's the case, I want a cheap upgrade path! :)

[WitWolfy]

The voice acting will still suck though.. Excluding Auron of course.

[Spikeantestor]

I suppose we don't need backwards compatability when every game is rereleased for a new system anyway.

[stragomccloud]

I would love a PC release of this. Already have the PS3 version; however, I just can't justify buying a PS4.

[stragomccloud]

Disagree?
I really can't justify it, I have a PC and a Wii U. If you have a PC, then suddenly you realize that the Wii U is the only console worth having.

[Chard]

Makes sense that a remake be released on the most current platform, if the intention of the remake is to preserve a classic.

[madmonkey01]

probably just SE trolling playstation fans again like the ff7 announcement,

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

Exactly. But if this is true I will consider getting it for my PS4 since I don't have a Vita and won't ever buy another PS3 game again. Hopefully they do the same for KH.

[Mr_Writer85]

I'd rather have FF 12

[Tapani]

Me too. If Matsuno and his team could do FFXII what they did to Tactics Ogre and remake it a bit to PS4... that would be my RPG dream come true.

It's sad that Squeenix didn't let his team finish the game and be split into two DVDs. That game had so much more content and story going on for it... They cut like 50% of the game.

If they can cram the extra content in 1080p/30fps and add better textures with some more special effects etc. that would be sweet! :)

[bangoskank]

Matsuno's complete FXII would be my dream come true. As much as I want this dream realized it will NEVER happen because Square Enix has their head so far up their a$$ that they've completely lost their way.
Hopefully Type 0 and FFXIV change my view of them but I can't hope but remain skeptical.

[Darkwatchman]

If they improve the visuals further from even the ps3 remaster and then internally render it at a higher resolution, then downsample it to 1080p like Trine 2 does, it would look quite nice.

[OutcastMosquito]

Square Enix, Wtf are you doing? No pls STAHP!

[Dark_Ruler_Hades]

SE: "Quick guys lets delay FF-XV even more with FF-VII remaster and FFX/X-2 remaster for PS4 muahaha they'll never know!"

[rigo8582]

I would get this, it would make me atleast blow the dust off my PS4 thats it been collecting for the past few months.

[Inception]

Got my LE for PS3. As much as i love FF X, i'm not gonna buy it again for PS4. But this is a good news for people who have a PS4 but never play it on PS2/PS3/vita.

[DanaBlack]

i guess i'll have the PS3, Vita and now Ps4 version now ,_,

[averagejoe26]

This ps3 remakes then ps4 remakes immediately after are unfair.

We JUST paid for kingdom hearts and ffx remade for ps3.

We wanted them for the update graphics and smoothness.

After taking our money, they release an even better remake...to take our money again.

[brando008]

I really hope that one day Crisis Core and FFXII get remastered for Vita. One can dream...

[chikane]

Cool vita PS3 and now PS4 ^-^

[illtornworld]

Id deff buy this! im actually looking forward to see this release, imagine cross save between Vita and PS4. thatd be really great! c'mon Square. And im actually looking to buying FFVII on PS4 i wonder why they didn't show the case to FFVII!!

[Sevir]

Spring 2015? Interesting

[HentaiMasterRace]

I have this one Vita so I'll pass(don't wanna do that Chocobo catcher shit), but hopefully they announce a Kingdom Hearts Full HD Remaster for PS4, or maybe a port of the remaster for Vita.

[Yetter]

So is anyone making new games for the PS4?

[Agent_hitman]

Good for the people who haven't tried/played FF before. And didn't get a chance to have PS2 or PS3 but currently owns PS4.

[HaHa_Ostrich]

Where is my FFXII remaster SE? Didnt they promised it based on FFX/X2 remaster sales?

[TomahawkX]

have the PS3 limited edition but haven't had time to play it, guess I'm going to double tip to play the best version

[S2Killinit]

Man the games are literally pouring in for PS4. At this point what to play is the hard decision. Im gonna game the hell out of the holidays this year. Cant wait.

[Youngindy21]

I already own the Vita version. Needless to say, if there is a PS4 version, I won't be buying it.

[Mankey]

Oh dear, I see the people mad about the FF VII on PS4 thing getting even angrier.

[hkgamer]

dont think i will bother with this version.

ive bought and played too many old games for a while now.

been playing these collections more than brand new games these last few years.

[CobraKai]

I'm content with my ps3 version. Although, if they remastered the CGI to true HD status with the option of original aspect ratio, that would be badass.

[StormLegend]

Nice!

[iliimaster]

wow i took a gamble and it paid off! it was very tempting to pick this up for my ps3 but i just picked up my ps4 yesterday so i really hope this is true

[Meryl]

I already own the vita version, so I won't buy the PS4 version, now SE just to do FFXII remaster, Crisis Core remaster, KH remaster for PS4 I will be happy.

[AC2020x]

I really hope this is true. I gave away my ps3 before this came out, though I'd love to play it again since the good old days on PS2. I'll definitely buy day 1 if this comes to ps4!!!
