ATTENTION Final Fantasy X HD CONFIRMED for PS3 and PS Vita

[ShinGundam]

I know most of that, but creating and replacing textures is very simple and doesn't take long.

Take it from someone who has worked with texture artists before; you're absolutely very, very wrong.

Hand painting textures, hell even making textures from real-life references, takes an enormous amount of time. Especially for so many assets we see in FFX. Not only that, they probably will be either painting or sculpting (better results) normal maps for each asset and that also takes a lot of time.

Really? let's say a game modeled and textured after Venice for example. Will it be very time-consuming to create?

[Karifean]

Could it be that they included Final Fantasy X-2 in this (the games' graphics are mostly indentical aren't they)?
Combine that with the International extras of both games and you've got the greatest Game Disc of all time.

[Hollycat]

Assuming they are doing the same amount of HD as other "HD" games, it won't be realistic or super high def

and yes, it is simple, you just need to create a stretched image to wrap around a mesh, or you can create individual textures for each portion of the mesh (this looks best if you know how to connect them at the sides)

If you are starting from scratch with no idea what you are doing or have to create the meshes as well, yes it takes a long time. However, as an HD port, they already have the meshes prepared.

Dammit Square-Enix, just let FFXIII go already. Why couldn't they give FFX this kind of treatment -- a sequel to FFX that deals with Braska and Jecht, instead of the sorry result that is FFX-2.

(in addition to doing the HD remaster of course.)

Good god. Please do not tell me they are doing a third to that horrible, horrible game.

Since I haven't heard anything yet, I do worry that we might not see it this year.

woah, where did you hear that? That's great!

[Hollycat]

I don't remember exactly where I heard it, but I'm 90% sure it's correct and legitimate.

sounds good, I'll take it!

more so a thread bump, but I found this while trying to find any new info on FFX HD:

Why Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix was shown before Final Fantasy X HD - National Video Game News | Examiner.com
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMIX was in development before Final Fantasy X HD | RPG Site

Not very insightful, but I just wanted to stir the pot a bit.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Eagerly awaiting more updates on this.

I've been wanting to go back and play FFX (and X-2) for a while, but i'm going to put it off until this HD release comes out.

Maybe it can incorporate new features such as being able to play in Blitzball tournaments online with other people.

[Cloudane]

Wait what? Really?

Somehow missed this one!

Do X-2 as well, and I can finally retire my PS2! (Yes I know about FFXII. I reiterate: Do X and X-2 and I can finally retire my PS2.)

Truly awesome. Any word if they'll do X-2, I think it's silly to do one and not the other.

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

I might get it if it's a definite improvement. I only beat it once on ps2. I also need a vita.

[Nebulance]

Seems like its still on the horizon…

Also would it look much better on the vita? The screen is so small that they don't have to do anything to it and it will look better. Isn't there no way to connect it to a tv?

[Mirage]

If you connected it to a TV again, you wouldn't exactly have a small screen anymore.
