    Recently at Gamescon in Germany, Square Enix graced us with even more goodies with Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster! With this new release, these popular entries are getting the all star treatment. Including content that was previously only available to Europe and Japanese releases, this new Remaster will attempt to bring new and old fans back into the series with this fun remaster.

    A video was shown at Gamescon showing the comparison of SD and HD within the battles. With a focus on Overdrives this video shows off the differences between the editions. More importantly, it shows off the difference in the newly remastered Battle music! Take a look and listen!



    Over 60 tracks have been remastered and rearranged for the release in HD audio. You can notice the improvements from this video and I for one squealed in delight with this upgraded track alone.

    Are you excited to hear newly remastered tracks to accompany your gaming experience? Look out for Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster later this year on PS3 and Vita.

      I wish they made a brand new track for the Monster arena. As nice as this new arrangement is, people are in there for days, listening to the same old track over and over. It would be nice to have a Monster Arena theme specifically for all the difficult enemies. Sounds underwhelming fighting Nemesis with the original battle theme I think.
      I would argue this new arrangement is flatter overall; the original had a more dynamic sound. I agree about the Monster arena, and it goes double for the Omega Ruins! Talk about spending *a lot* of time in there with the same music... On days like that, I'll usually turn the sound down and put a record on or something.
      I think repetition is responsible for a lot of the problems people have with the songs in the series. A lot of songs which would just be "ok" or which are actually fairly nice just inspire rage after so many repetitions.

      The main battle theme for FFX, for example, never really gave me any problems, but the opening to it does get annoying when it's repeated for the thousandth time while you're farming monsters. And it's still nowhere near the worst offender of the series (Shuffle or Boogie).
