    Goddamn FFX-2, why are you so addictive!?

    Doesn't seem like I'll do the postgame content of FFX anytime soon. I've been entangled.

    Saying that though, X looks better than most PS3 games. It's so smooth looking. On the verge of beating the game here and I'm loving it. I'm actually sort of surprised at how absorbed I got.
    That's a pretty big exaggeration. I'd be inclined to agree if every character in the game got the same treatment as the main characters did. From a technical standpoint, random NPCs in FF13-2 have more polys and higher res textures than the main cast of FFX. FFX also lacks a lot of effects that you see in almost any "real" PS3 game, such as DoF, HDR and environmental reflections. The game world has a prettier design than most other PS3 games, though.

    I think the characters look stellar enough. Maybe not as good as some of FFXIII-2's design, but everything looks so smooth. The backgrounds look far more beautiful IMO though.

    I'm getting used to the faces, but...Tidus' eyeballs sure are over-shaded. They look like they're about to pop out. It's distracting!

    Wind Waker HD would like a word.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    I'm about 5 hours into X and I'm hooked. I haven't played an FF game in a while and revisiting X is fantastic. I know many people dislike this game, but I think it's an amazing classic that deserved an update. I could have lived without Tidas' Botox though.

    So I finished playing through the FFX story last night and I think they did a fantastic job overall with the HD remaster. I wasn't really disappointed, but the following things I think would have been worth doing:

    -Fixing the lip syncing.
    -Either redoing or filtering the FMVs instead of just cropping and upscaling them. They don't look awful but they could look a lot better.
    -Touched up the NPC's textures a tad more.
    -Not punished us with the second most time consuming platinum trophy ever.

    Aside of those things, it's a pretty flawless remaster from beginning to end. I still need to kill the super bosses and *shudders* fill out everyone's spheregrid.
    I like Kung-Fu.
