If you want to protect your child-hood memories, the only choice you have is to destroy Square Enix, for they will ruin them.

depressing and bad, honestly buy the game only for the remakes for x and x-2 but do not listen to the bonus dialogue option on it unless you really want to hate the authors of X, honestly the only saving grace of that bonus dialogue is the narrator because i would love to play a game with her as the main character in the X universe but as it stands now the story would only fill you with to much hate and anger to enjoy it

[FlareKnight]

Yeah, I'm enjoying this chance to replay the game. Visually I think they did a nice job just making it look nice. X is still an enjoyable game and one of the last FF I think they did a really good job with. And who knows maybe this time I'll actually get somewhere with X-2 .

Haven't really minded the voice acting either. For all the complaints I saw in other places about how it doesn't hold up...there are games coming out now with way worse voice acting than this. Pretty decent for the first shot at making a game with so much voiced dialogue.

Have heard enough about how bad that bonus audio is to never dream of listening to it. If I want to check out something on the level with really stupid fanfiction I know where to look else where....No wonder they can't be bothered with full remakes to earlier games, even with a script already there they probably wouldn't have a clue how to do it right.

After playing Konami's half-assed PS3 port of Tales of Symphonia, this one seems good in comparison. The game looks like it's in native HD resolution, including the FMVs. I would have liked to see a higher framerate, but oh well. Console devs always overlook that stuff. It's still in every way the best version of the game.

My first time replaying FFX again and I already missed some al bhed dic and treasure chest in Besaid temple

Actually, it's the opposite. FFXIII is getting sequels party because FFXV is talking so long. If they weren't there SE wouldn't have much consoles releases for the gaps in the schedule. HD development is also way expensive nowadays to spend on just one game then throw away, which one of main reason you see lost of companies either releasing half sequels or expansions with reused (or partly reused) assets. It's budget saving method to get most of product in a industry that's following unsustainable business models for years.

As far Nojima and the novel are concerned, you're going to just have accept that since he's main writer of FFX and X-2 or ignore it. Frankly he's track record when comes to stories has always been hit or miss. In FFX-2 for example he was the one introduced that dumb plot point connecting FFX to FFVII. Blaming SE as whole for someone who been pretty inconsistent in writing is fairly pointless.

Konami? You mean Namco Bandai. And you should have known long beforehand how half-assed it is. Now you gave them your money.

[Jaden]

Oh right, Bamco.

I guess the difference with ToS was that I'd never played the original and pirating a Gamecube ROM was the only other way I'd have gotten to play it.

I've played a bunch of FFX though, so I'm that much more critical with this port.

[Sacredus]

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD just appeared on the Steam.
Dual audio.
Release date: 12.05.2016.

[ZGoten]

Did they mess up the audio again, like they did with FF9 ... again?

[Jaden]

here's a useful mod for some technical issues, such as getting JP audio with ENG subs:

With that, the port is solid.

I thought it would never happen... I gave up all hope after all the PS3/PS4 releases that still had pure dub versions... but there it is... the subbed version is something that makes me, as someone who is dubphobic, want to play this game again and actually finish it this time.

I guess it's time to wait for the next sale that has FFX in it... who knows when that sale happens though. It could be in a few weeks or a few years.

BTW, the FF Wikia made a summary about the novel

Yeah, it's ridiculous. Probably the worst scene was the one of the bomb. It's like if the original author is Toriyama and not Nojima based on how much focus is on Yuna and how he once said X-3 could be a shooting game with Yuna rather than a freaking RPG.

If we ever get a X-3, I'd rather Nojima, Tabata and Kitase worked on that provide an RPG that closes this storyline without separating Tidus and Yuna for the 11th time.

Damn straight. Reading the summary for that novel made my head hurt. Really, it reeks of bad SI fanfic, especially in regards to the new duo.

Hell, I had a feeling IF X-3 were to follow said novel's plot it would end with Tidus and Yuna separating and ending up with the new duo.

[Chosen_Hero]

I'm not that fond of FFX or Tidus and Yuna (although the superbestfriends let's play of the game is amazing), but even I know that that games' story is a hell of a lot better than whatever this abomination was.

"Hashimoto says Final Fantasy X/X-2’s HD Remaster sold well thanks to all the fans. As far as Final Fantasy X-3 goes, he acknowledges that fans have expectations after having been presented a bit of its plot in the audio drama. However, he says that there’s currently facing a wall that cannot be climbed—with director/character designer Tetsuya Nomura and producer/director Yoshinori Kitase both being occupied, they’re unable to work on Final Fantasy VII Remake, Kingdom Hearts III, and Final Fantasy X-3 all at the same time. Square Enix is focusing more on titles that have been announced for now, so he asks fans to wait a little longer [for anything on Final Fantasy X-3.]



Hashimoto adds that he was reminded just how popular Yuna and Tidus are after seeing plenty of cosplayers at Lucca Comics & Games 2016, and their drama is something that he and the staff would like to continue to cherish."

[sayde]

I really like what Hashimoto has to say regarding FFX-3. Let these 2 guys focus on the other major projects for now.
