@ccgod @nameaprice 12 was ok, 13 wasn't too bad either. it just lacked a compelling story much like 12. and exploration wasn't there for 13

@ccgod @pddrumheller @nameaprice actaully 12 was very fun gameplay though the story mostly sucked, 13 the story and gameplay are godaweful and even worse they turn it into a trilogy, the only reason they turned it into a stupid trilogy was to save money recycling the same crap, gimme 8-12 in hd

Now it looks like they used the "normal" one (left), and blurred it (right) =P

The HD version looks really nice...if only I had a PS3...

Some people don't see too many differences simply because FF X was looking fantastic already as it was at SD resolution. ^_^

Upscaled resolution, slightly better textures. I think the only real reason to get this, is to be able to play it on a more recent console. They should've made it for the next-gen (current-gen?) instead, and made some real improvements all around.

@43n1m4 If they were made for the new gen (see what I did it here? ^_^) they wouldn't have improved much from this version anyway. They are a remaster not a remake. The PS3 is more than capable of running it at HD. With the PS4 they would just run for sure at 1080p60fps, if they don't do it already on PS3.

@43n1m4 What do you mean real improvements. This is an HD re-release, not a new game. We want Final Fantasy X and that's what they're giving us, but in HD like all the other HD re-releases on PS3. What were you expecting, a totally new Final Fantasy game called Final Fantasy X?

You are of course correct. I guess the market for a straight re-release of the game is big enough. Having seen more pronounced differences in more recent re-releases like Halo and the upcoming Fable game, I just assumed that Square Enix would make a more tangible upgrade to the visuals. But if that isn't their aim, and the fans want it anyway, then I guess everythings fine.

But that is not exactly the same as optimizing the game for the PS4 hardware. It'll just make it available for PS4 owners.

@43n1m4 @pddrumheller correct. it will just be available for ps4 at some point with playstation now. in order for older games to utilize the hardware of current-gen hardware, games would have to be completely remade, which i think is a waste of time. though i can understand why some people would want it completely remade. movies are remade, but movies make more money than video games.

The graphics in the HD version look a lot better. The models definitely have a higher polygon count. One way to tell is that the eye socket and eyeball are actually modeled instead of textured on like in the PS2 version. Also, more polygons in the hair strands allows the hair to move more naturally. Even though an emulator can up the resolution, it can't increase the poly count or texture quality. At the time, the texture maps of PS2 games were 64x64, 32x32, or 8x8 due to the memory constraints. The emulator only upscales the texture, but it can't give it more detail. A lot of the clothing was textured on in the PS2 version (belts, chains, buttons, etc.) and are modeled on in the HD version.

@richten71 The hair got more polys, not the rest of the model. That would take me 5 seconds todo. The eyes are also modelled in the ps2 version, its the same face. FF always been running with high polycount in their faces.

Textures are made in higher resolution, then downscaled for the acual game. They already had these textures laying around.

Okay, am I crazy? Or does the original look better than the remaster in every shot? That is a pathetic job they've done here. I know it won't come with an option to use the original graphics, but I wish it would.


Thank God the remasters are going to be the International versions of the games. Otherwise, I wouldn't even bother with this.

Their faces looked better with the ps2 graphics, but I approve of everything else minus the laziness of them not updating the X-2 music.

@soulless4now Agreed. Without updating the models and redrawing the textures (aka, remastering it), the fuzziness of the PS2 is more appealing to me.

Actually, they did update the character models. Just look at the scene from 1:37 onwards and you'll notice the face of Tidus looking more detailed in the HD remaster. In the PS2 original, they used two different character models, one for the cut-scenes and the other for the gameplay (since the PS2 couldn't handle it). This time it looks like they used the same character model for both cutscenes and gameplay.

A buddy showed me FFX with pcsx2 and well.... that makes the HD remake look like garbage. I was hoping for better lighting effects or something. But this looks like a upscaler would have worked just as well.

I absolutely loved FFX on the PS2, but I have no interest in buying the HD version. I typically don't play RPGs because of pretty visuals.
