FFX HD remake will be here "soon"

I hope the answers are good news. FFX is probably my second favorite Final Fantasy, I'd love to replay it.

*as my Vita and ps3 collect dust*

Considering that the Kingdom Hearts HD collection is using the Final Mix version as a basis, I think it seems very likely that this will be based on the International version.

That being said, I'm perfectly happy with my original PS2 copy so I probably won't be getting this when/if it comes out. Playing it in widescreen with crispy HD graphics is a nice idea, but I'm probably not going to get the same game twice unless there's some kind of bonus that I need to have. Or if I ever got a Vita and I'm dying to play some FFX on the go.

If it's on the Vita, I'll definitely be getting it. I'd love to get into FFX portable.

I do hope (and believe) that it'll be the International version. I'll finally be able to try out the Expert Sphere Grid, wipe out the Dark Aeons, and have Yojimbo and Anima actually be useful.


I'm not sure the KH Collection is a valid comparison, though. Since, to my knowledge, it's still staying Japan only, isn't it?

About that, the statement was misinterpreted. Here's the exact statement:
"The recent KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5 ReMIX- announcement was only for the Japanese market"

Only the announcement was for Japan; they didn't say anything about the game itself. Like with most games, the Japanese release gets revealed first and then localization announcements come later. Some fans and gaming news sites misinterpreted the statement to mean that the game wasn't leaving Japanese shores and that's where the confusion came from.

It is extremely likely that KH HD will get an international release considering it actually sells better in North America than Japan, plus it was teased in all versions of KH3D. If they didn't intend for it to be released everywhere, they wouldn't have translated the teaser and left it in.

If I could play FFX on my PS3 it might be different, but as it is, I'm more excited than I realized about this "soon." Although, SE "soon" is not exactly my "soon," it's something to look forward to.

You say that NinjaCoachZ, but I didn't get a limited edition KH DDD 3DS But I they did send us the limited edition zelda one! I would have bought that KH 3DS in a flash! They like keeping stuff form us. Also wasn't coded a cellphone game for japan only?

Original Coded was Japan only, yes, but the whole world got Re: Coded, which was a remake for DS.

As for the 3DS situation, I can't speak for that one. Only bit of knowledge I can really contribute to is that there might've been problems coming to an agreement with Nintendo, so I don't think it was entirely SE. System variants based on third-party IPs don't seem to have a good track record of seeing the light of day beyond Japan.

I really hope so. FFX International came out in PAL territories, so the English dialog is already there. This gives me hope that we Americans may just finally get it.

I think "soon" is better than comment at all, and I'm glad the fans bring it up so they're aware we are still pining for the release.

DMKA, they should translate it newly then. The English translation of Final Fantasy X is not very accurate and loses many meanings of the story.

This, however is something many people don't know and then they would probably only complain about it.

I need this in my life!

(yes Square Enix if you're reading this too - just like with KH HD - I WILL GIVE YOU ALL MY MONEY)

I wouldn't bet on it. HD remakes are so appealing to companies to do anymore because it's insanely cheap and makes a surprisingly good return. I doubt Square Enix would put the time and resources into re-recording all the dialog for a nearly 12 year old game.

But then, they've done stranger things.

I hope this means something... 'Soon,' however isn't a well defined time frame, so who knows. I would feel better if there was a trailer or something.

I never actually finished this game so would love the opportunity to start over again in lovely HD. I've got plenty of other games to be getting on with though so I'll wait patiently for the release in 2016.

Am I the only one who actually liked Blitzball in this game? I was obsessed with this damn mini-game for weeks and it made me stop caring about the main quest.

I liked blitzball a lot. I was never addicted to it the same way as Chocobo Hot and Cold, but I liked playing it every now and then as a break from the main game.

I just hope they fix the old 16.67% slowdown we PALers had to deal with last time.

For those who don't know, the 60->50 hz conversion was really really terribad. tons of animation in the game plays back ~16% slower than it should, making for example Tidus' running seem like he's running on the moon. Most other conversions to 50 hz do not have this issue, so it is entirely SE's fault.

I'm looking forwards to playing this again. I've been holding off my replaying of this game for like a year now. I kinda hope they do a X+X2 on the same disc, but I'm not holding my breath for that.

And Blitzball is awesome.

It would at least be better for those who are really interested in the story to experience something they did not know it actually existed in the story of Final Fantasy X. But as you said, they will probably not make it and the critique of those who don't know that it would be a more accurate translation would be not good.

I'll buy it again just to play blitzball. Hell, I would buy a full-on blitzball-only game (then it could have characters from other FFs!)
