Man it looks so much better and I was kind of skeptical on the remixed soundtrack, but the remade battle music sounds fantastic!

cleft54265d ago

It really does look great and sound great too. I can't wait to hear the Zanarkand song getting played. I love this game.

AirJohnston4265d ago

The 7 year old inside of me likes the old music better, but they both sound really good

GeckoPutt4265d ago

I was very sceptical about the remixed arrangements of the tracks, but this has honestly turned out fantastically. If it's possible, I am now even more hyped for this game.

It's nice of them to give us this, but they know what we all want, and that is a release date. Seriously... -_-

The new graphics look fine, but the soundtrack sounds off to me. It's very tinny. Hopefully there will be an option to turn off the "remastered" music. Or maybe they will re-remaster it, because this is a step backwards.

GeckoPutt4265d ago

I completely disagree. Whilst I absolutely love the old music to the point where is the only thing I would listen to whilst doing my degree as it helped me concentrate, I think that the new one has achieved its intention. It's modern, it's fresh and it's revitalises the sound. Whilst I think the beginning of the new battle music sounds a little 'heavy', the rest of it is amazing.

I think some people are just getting to worked up and clinging to their nostalgia of the original tracks. Personally, it works well. It certainly isn't a step backwards, you can clearly hear how they are using real instruments rather than MIDI ones of before, and the quality is brilliant.

Stsonic4265d ago (Edited 4265d ago )

If the vita version is 1:1 quality as PS3 I will get it. I can't justify the ps3 version As I can already play this game at a higher resolution on the big screen.

BlaqMagiq244265d ago

My god...

Dat new battle theme. Did I hear an electric guitar towards the end? Anyway Square shut up and take my money!

Fishermenofwar4265d ago

Don't talk to Square like that..I will summon Anima!!!

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.

Gaming4Life19811446d ago

I literally have this game on everything lol.

Abnor_Mal1446d ago

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

Teflon021446d 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

Kavorklestein1446d ago (Edited 1446d 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_drake1884d ago

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

Spenok1884d 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.

AK911884d ago

What’s wrong with 6?

Sirk7x1884d ago

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

bouzebbal1883d ago (Edited 1883d 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.

bangoskank1883d 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_Darkness1882d 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.

1883d ago
babadivad1884d 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.

1883d ago
RedDevils1884d ago (Edited 1884d ago )

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

gold_drake1883d ago (Edited 1883d 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.

ShinRon1883d ago

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

SugarSoSweet1883d ago

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

DerfDerf1883d ago

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

-Foxtrot1883d ago (Edited 1883d 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.

Muzikguy1883d ago (Edited 1883d 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.

VincentCastle1868d ago (Edited 1868d 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.

darkwalker1884d 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.

specialguest1884d 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.

littletad1883d ago

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

specialguest1883d ago

Haven't played 9 yet. I need to

Shiken1884d ago

Auron is the best character in Final Fantasy IMO.

Sirk7x1884d ago

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

Shiken1884d 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_drake1884d ago

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

MWH1883d ago

Looks like a puzzle combination.
