FFX and FFXII possibly being remastered for PS3

[Jessweeee♪]

I hope future releases will also include nifty bonuses we didn't get before, like the advanced sphere grid, dark aeons, etc. Otherwise, as much as I liked all three games, I wouldn't purchase something like this unless something happened to my old copies.

Of course I don't own a PS3, so I won't be purchasing them either way. Also our TV is pretty crappy. It's ancient. The image appears to have stretched horizontally. The sides are completely cut off, so I can't see the cursor on some menus. I have to go to the top and count every time I hear the sound effect. My boyfriend has had to return games before because the text was so blurry he couldn't read it. The stretch only happens in the middle, not the top and bottom of the screen. If there was say, a "|" in the middle of the screen, if you swung the camera around so that it was on the left, it would look like a "(". Occasionally there will be a red or green tint to everything.

Has SE said anywhere that those games would be looked into first or is this just Dreddz's speculation/hope?

It sounds like they were explicitly referencing Playstation 2 titles. Final Fantasy XI would be excluded as it was a massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

I'd probably rebuy XII and I'd definitely rebuy X if they were to do this.

I've wanted to replay both lately but they both look so incredibly terrible on my HDTV that it makes my eyes bleed too much to keep playing. XII especially.

Sounds like your TV could use a better upscaling engine than it's got :>

You mean there are modern televisions that can upscale old video game visuals decently? I know I'm not the only one with this issue. PS2 games look horrible on my 1080p LCD screen. Sucks because I still have a whole list of PS2 games I want to play and can get for dirt cheap. Interestingly, games for the original XBOX, old PC games and Gamecube games all look just fine on it.

I'd be willing to go out and buy a nice CRT set if anyone was selling them anymore.

I always recalled most of XII's locations as being 'overworld' but then again I haven't played the game since it came out.

Final Fantasy XII has no traditional overworld, the whole game is based on one region .

First of all or rather to begin with now don't you think FFVII fans got enough already?
Just think about it and let's take a closer look at the FFVII prequels/sequels and the movie.
FFVII Before Crisis (prequel/game)
FFVII Crisis Core (prequel/game)
FFVII Last Order (prequel/anime)
FFVII (the original one)
FFVII Advent Children (sequel/CGI movie)
FFVII Advent Children Complete (sequel/CGI film)
FFVII Dridge of Cerberus (sequel/game)
Aren't all of these enough?
As far as I'm concerned in my opinion you should be happy for all of these releases instead of being unsatisfied, you FFVII fangirls and fanboys has got enough already. Say thank you very much to Square.
Furthermore let's take a look at the graphics of FFVII vs FFX, it's definitely exact and clear:
Final Fantasy X has the required graphic level in order to be able to bring it to the modern consoles including PS3 and PS Vita maybe even x360 while on the other hand a Final Fantasy VII HD remaster would be a disappointment due to the fact that it's a 97's game with
low detail, low poly (vertices), low vertex shaders and low pixel shaders and low resolution and etc, etc...
Which means Square-Enix should start the FFVII remake from the very very beginning, then they should re-model the characters, re-animate them and re-texturing them, still if it isn't enough there are a lot of map like Midgar which requires a very high dynamic shadowing/lightning implementation, e.g. Junon, for example Costa del Sol which has got a beach, now that town requires a very high level of water surface shader and still there is one more big problem, the engine, they should use a modern
high performance realtime 3D rendering engine which means they would have to handle and re-programming the whole game and not just deal with the graphics and still I didn't mentioned about the Physics Engine which is one of the most difficult part of a game programming and there are more like Sound Engine and further tools. In addition despite the fact of the people say it's a remake, well it's is not,
but a HD remastering with extras, however I still hope for a remake and a remake of
Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission HD remastered, especially due to the fact of Last Mission was available only in Japan. Moreover let's take a look at Final Fantasy X
FFX (the original one)
FFX International (extended version)
FFX Eternal Calm (sequel/cutscene)
FFX-2 (sequel/game)
FFX-2 International + Last Mission (sequel/extended game which was available only in Japan)
Now you make a compare between the most famous and the most popular Final Fantasy: VII and X.
As you can see VII has got more than X and more than enough and still you demand for a VII remake?
Don't you think you FFVII guys go too far?
Moreover the most of the FFVII fans didn't even play with the original first Final Fantasy VII,
they just became VII fans thanks to Advent Children.
In my opinion, there should be:
FFX Type-0 prequel game which is representing the story of Braska, Jecht and Auron
FFX-3 sequel game which is demonstrating the story of Rikku (There was a reference in FFX-2 when Yuna has said to Rikku: "Next time it will be your story") a link about this one:
Final Fantasy X-3 Planned? - PlayStation 2 News at IGN
and of course to make the balance to equal:
FFX The movie (CGI movie/film just like Advent Children)
Trust me if these would come true, then there would be more FFX fans than FFVII fans for sure.
I'm very glad about Final Fantasy X HD remaster due to the fact that it was an extremely fair decision and step from Square-Enix, especially for giving the respect to a masterpiece to FFX due to the fact that it has it's 10th anniversary. FFX is deserving more and more.
Finally let's think of this as SE testing a remake out. FF7 is similar in its ways, but it's smart that they did this because all the feedback they get from this one and if the feedback is positive then probably they will continue to re-release the old parts like VI,VII,VIII,IX.
Sales will play a big or rather serious role in this game. If it fails a remake of others are doomed which will last forever...
Seriously think about it and be glad and happy that they are re-releasing old FFs if you are willing to give a positive feedback so that they will going to re-release the old ones, trust me for sure.

^ Yeah, but a lot of FF fans like me never wanted any of those spin-offs movies, novels, PSP titles, etc. A remake with a little cleaning up would be a pretty cool product. I'm happy for the FFX one, too, funny how we remained skeptical of this article yet here we are, MGS HD collection is coming next year as is FFX.
