Well, it's been a frankly HUMONGOUS week for me, but this isn't the Eyes on Formy community update. Oh no, this is the EoFF update you know and love. So what has happened this week?
There's a fantastic Let's Play that is taking EoFF by storm, but also the latest edition of Aulayna's stunning Cosplay series. Furthermore, if you're a XIV:ARR player (or going to be), now's the time to start looking at the sub-forum to look at all the threads if you haven't already. Finally, the Quote of the Week now gives out rewards! For every correct answer I see, I'll give out a full reputation point! How's that for generosity!

Square Enix released a video of Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remasters new Audio drama in english this time! With Tidus's voice actor. As we mentioned before, this new drama will come at the end of FFX and FFX-2 in the new HD remaster. Written by Kazushige Nojima, this new 30 min drama will be entirely new to the series. Take a listen!
We heard his name pronounced as Teedus before in Kingdom Hearts but now from this official audio drama we have it confirmed. Sorry Tydus fans, it's Teedus. (I'm a tydus girl myself).
There were also some screenshots released along with the video. It seems that the battle menu has been overhauled. It looks all new and shiny.
The soundtrack has also been mostly reworked. Over 60 songs on Final Fantasy X have been rearranged and optimized for High Definition audio. Which is 2/3 of the soundtrack. That's a lot of remastering.
