    It was only a few days ago that we brought you the news of rumours that were circulating concerning whether or not Final Fantasy X's HD remaster would also include the girl-power smash, Final Fantasy X-2... Well, I'm pretty pleased to announce that yes, it will be.



    So get your dresspheres at the ready, because pretty soon we'll be re-invited to Spira to defeat Sin once more - and this time in some delightfully gorgeous HD. I can only imagine how pretty the Macalania scenes are going to be. Of course, we'll be able to dance our way through Final Fantasy X-2 again too, I'm so excited! This news is making me go berserk over here. Just take a look at some of these gorgeous screenshots from the remaster...



    Wowzers, just look at the detail in those... erm, steps! Yes, that flight of staircase looks so jiggly, umm I mean, so staircasey!



    Tidus and the rest of the Guardians are about to send me over the edge with glee for this remaster!

    With the remaster said to be hitting Europe later this year, fans of Final Fantasy X really don't have long to wait to play this game again. The European fans will also be pleased to hear that it's the International Version which is being released, which means that there is a truck load of extra content in Final Fantasy X-2 that was never released over here.

    There's also a new option for the Sphere Grid in Final Fantasy X... in the remaster you can choose to play through on the Expert version - allowing players to all start on the centre of the grid. This version however has less nodes which means a decrease in the abilities... But, we like a challenge here at Eyes on Final Fantasy. Our trusty European Square Enix representative Ben Bateman has also hinted at a little surprise for Final Fantasy X-2...

    "Final Fantasy X-2 is also getting the International treatment, high definition graphics and more content than I can list! But you’ll have to wait a little bit longer until we reveal the full list of enhancements and extra features."

    Not long to wait for a trailer either... Expect another update on this RPG beauty on March 25th...

      Also, I just keep staring at it.
      Ya really, I feel like I'm being hypnotized.

      Just look at Lulu's hair.

      Significant upgrade.

      It's waaay too whiny and obnoxious. You can have a cheerful well more "cheerful " than say Advent Children Cloud or Squall and have it sound genuine, like Bartz and Zidane. Tidus sounds like a choking seagull.

      Lol. Reminds me of this.

      That trailer probably has the worst possible transition between FFX and X-2 (I don't think the beginning of Real Emotion describes FFX-2 well at all). And it also only says "2013". Also, I wonder why they didn't show off the International additions if they wanted people to get excited over this. Oh well, I'm sure they have a very good reason for not doing so ...
      I'd definitely like to have some kind of clue when this will actually be released other than 'this year', though.

      That was a German trailer. The German Final Fantasy X is Final Fantasy X International so they would not see a difference.

      I am aware of that (I am European myself). What I was more surprised about was why they didn't showcase any of FFX-2 International's content (which I have, but it still makes me wonder) - never released outside of Japan.

      If you watch Wakka's crotch region, it looks like he's gyrating his hips.

      Just a friendly reminder:

      The difference between the original and HD thingie is bigger than it seems like in that gif, because the original image in that gif is actually taken from pcsx2 running at more than twice of the native PS2 res.

      Except this is a full remastering not just an emulator upscaling it. There's a notable difference in quality.

      I'd pay good money for a full-on FIBA2K13 game.

      I could have gone without being sexually harassed by a Final Fantasy gif, thanks.

      Sadly, you're totally right though.

      What about the Vita? 'Cause that's the console I want to play them on.

      Also, why does the European version announcement mention that it's the International version of the game, while the US version announcement does not?

      But back to the comparison. I like how everything is brighter and more detailed. Lulu's necklace is much better. I can't wait to see the landscapes and the scenery. FFX and FFX-2 is well known for how lush the environments are (even if you are in a corridor of walking for much of the game)

      Has anyone seen anything official saying that the US version of FFXHD is going to include the International version extras?

      Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster - The Final Fantasy Wiki has more Final Fantasy information than Cid could research

      This is the most "official" I'm going for. :P

      I'm not so sure. There are no quotes or references for the statement.

      The European announcement made a big deal "the International version is coming to Europe for the first time with its extra content". But the NA announcement didn't mention it at all, and we never got the International version either. Extra bosses, chapters, and gameplay adjustments are big enough to mention. I don't get why they'd mention it in one announcement, and not another, unless the extra content is only going to be in the EU version, not the NA one.
