Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster: Back to Zanarkand on PS3 and Vita | IGN

IGN: Final Fantasy X and its rocking sequel Final Fantasy X-2 are making their way stateside on March 18 in a beautiful remastered collection for PlayStation 3 and Vita. For the first time in North America, gamers will be able to play through the international version of each game.

At IGN, we were able to play the beginning portion of each game to get a feel for the upgraded visuals and re-arranged soundtracks. Check out the preview video below to see how much more visually appealing Spira looks now, almost 10 years later.

i cant wait to get these games on my ps vita. hopefully ff12 comes to the vita also

abzdine3793d ago

i really want to play FFXHD but i'm not gonna buy it it should be cross buy by principe cause croos save is supported

GeckoPutt3793d ago

It "shouldn't" be anything. If you don't want to take advantage of the cross-save feature then don't, but they don't HAVE to include cross-buy simply because the cross-save feature is in.

Just buy one of the versions.

abzdine3793d ago

@GeckoPutt:
no, cross buy should be included. how else would you use the cross save feature? isn't it stupid to buy 2 versions for that?
i like cross save a lot and FFX is the type of game that i want to play on my way to work and resume it on PS3 when i get back home.
i'll wait for the price to go half then i'll get both :D

Wait so March 18th is the Vita US date too ?

I must have missed that conformation. I think I'm the only one. ha

Any special edition news ? ( Vita system )

Letthewookiewin3794d ago

I'm trying to Platinum Tales of Xillia right now so I can dig into this again and play Second Son on the side! Can not wait for March!

Knightofelemia3794d ago

Day one purchase or me Yuna is going to look more beautiful thanks to the magic of PS3 and the Vita.

Insomnia_843793d ago (Edited 3793d ago )

gonna have to pass

though I may grab it for vita if its ever under $5

already own the originals on ps2 and can play them on my pc in native 1080p at perfect 60 with massive anti aliasing, though I wouldn't mind playing this on my vita in bed

ho0lee0h3794d ago

It's not native. It's upscaled. Character textures are the same. Anti aliasing can only do so much. Characters were reworked for this version. No emulator can replicate that. Soundtrack was also upgraded. I also have my backup running on PCSX2 and am picking up a copy for my PS3/Vita to show my support.

HeavenlySnipes3793d ago

Running the PS2 emulator on PC is hit or miss for a lot of games and you need a powerful computer just to play the average game because its software emulation

I've emulated Persona 4 on my PC but it lags a lot in larger areas, meanwhile I can easily play Crysis 3 and Farcry 3

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.

Gaming4Life19811123d ago

I literally have this game on everything lol.

Abnor_Mal1123d ago

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

Teflon021123d 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

Kavorklestein1123d ago (Edited 1123d 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_drake1561d ago

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

Spenok1561d 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.

AK911561d ago

What’s wrong with 6?

Sirk7x1561d ago

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

bouzebbal1561d ago (Edited 1561d 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.

bangoskank1560d 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_Darkness1560d 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.

1561d ago
babadivad1561d 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.

1561d ago
RedDevils1561d ago (Edited 1561d ago )

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

gold_drake1561d ago (Edited 1561d 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.

ShinRon1561d ago

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

SugarSoSweet1561d ago

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

DerfDerf1561d ago

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

-Foxtrot1561d ago (Edited 1561d 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.

Muzikguy1561d ago (Edited 1561d 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.

VincentCastle1546d ago (Edited 1546d 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.

darkwalker1561d 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.

specialguest1561d 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.

littletad1561d ago

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

specialguest1560d ago

Haven't played 9 yet. I need to

Shiken1561d ago

Auron is the best character in Final Fantasy IMO.

Sirk7x1561d ago

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

Shiken1561d 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_drake1561d ago

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

MWH1561d ago

Looks like a puzzle combination.
