And the real problem of the real problem is that the dark aeons block the way to some of the ultimate weapons that would really help against them.

Eh, only if you missed them the first time through when you should've gotten them. However, there is some stuff (like some Jecht Spheres) that you won't have gotten unless you straight up backtracked all the way to Besaid at certain points in the game well before getting the airship.

 

[Boogiepop]

Not a terrible price I suppose, but seeing as I'd just want it for X-2 (played through X recently), I think I'll wait for the price to drop a little.

 

[SniperHunter]

I remember how I beat the FFX OPM demo 50 TIMES! I was so blown away by the graphics! Besaid island was so beautiful and the animations during combat even better!

 

[Goli]

The contrast between the S-E praise in this thread and the S-E hatred in the FF5 remake thread is pretty amazing.

One has people saying they're vomiting, the other they're becoming orgasmically happy.

The worst part is FFV seems to have more effort put into it than this.

If you make sure to get the specific Crests/Sigils the first time, then the Dark Aeon's shouldn't get in the way. IIRC, it's only the Sun Crest and some of the extra Temple trials/Jecht Spehre's that get blocked off

 

[lantus]

Yup, this game is going to be magnificent on Vita.

 

[Clear]

This is worth the money just for having X-2 Int in English.

Do not underestimate how much extra content is in it; my old 100% complete save came in well north of 140hrs. Now I'm not saying that it would necessarily take everyone that long, but its a big game by any standards.

In terms of potential hours of play for the money, I doubt you will not get a better deal this year. These are both 100hr + titles if you go for all the side-content, and you really should as the combat in both these games is pretty much the pinnacle of the entire FF franchise.

 

[Seda]

I want another game with FFX's battle system. I love it so much.

FFX-2's is really good too.

 

[injurai]

wow that looks incredible! I'm leaning towards the PS3 version even though it would be awesome to have on vita.

 

[akaoni]

Japanese audio with subtitles included?

They did say that all regions would be getting the international content, or was that just EU/US? I know the JP international version had the English language track instead. Either way a better question is what they're going to do about the sound quality itself, the old JP voice recordings sound very poor in my opinion, can't comment on the English recording.

 

[Stark]

Oh shit this looks good.

Best FF battle system here I come.

 

[luxarific]

So excited that we finally get a chance to play the International content.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

eh?

 

[prwxv3]

I really do hope that SE brings back the ability to use any party member at any time during battle. I used every one when I played X

Spoiler

except for kimahri

 

[Crash Station]

So glad they're doing a remaster of the last amazing FF. in going to do everything this time around. Be prepared lightning, cause you gonna get dodged.

 

[Impeccable]

I haven't had a chance to read the whole thread yet...

What are the main differences from the International versions?

 

[Seda]

FFX: Dark Aeons + Penance and Expert Sphere grid.

FFX-2: A ton of stuff.

 

[commish]

Looks really good. This will get me to buy a vita finally.

 

[$h@d0w]

I'm in on Vita, but this is ideal for cross save.

 

[dragonlife]

I personally didn't like it, though =/ Not even FFX's battle system could make this fun for me.

Honestly, you may want to wiki this one because there's a ton.

The most noticeable in FFX is more superbosses and associated small sidequests to get to said superbosses.

FFX-2, however, has way more. A whole extra dungeon (that's almost a new game in itself, it's so long and repetitive), a fighting arena, and, again a ton of new bosses. Oh, and the arena grants party member changes, too.

The English sound quality was pretty poor, as well, though I'd guess the masters are fine.... it was just compressed to shit when they put it on the PS2 disc.

I knew somebody was gonna post this lol. I have played this (twice actually). I had stupid fun with it.

Okay thanks everyone.

I'll check out Wiki in a bit.

Well once S-E remaster XII then you can finally play it.

 

[jaxword]

Okay thanks everyone.

I'll check out Wiki in a bit.

Or maybe you should resist spoilers so the content is new to you? May be more fun.

And new jobs, right?

 

[Shahed]

FFX's battle models were far superior to their field models right? I wonder how they will look now

 

[jaxword]

A

Yeah, but I didn't want to spoil anyone with that.

FINAL FANTASY X-2 is also getting the International treatment, high definition graphics and more content than I can list! But you’ll have to wait a little bit longer until we reveal the full list of enhancements and extra features.

If its the content from FFX-2 Last mission then this is the best news ever

Same, StalkerUKCG, don't you think it'd be neat for people to learn all that on their own?
VVV

Dress Spheres Festival-Goer, Psychic and Bare
Creature Create a system similar to the Monster Arena where fiends can be captured, trained and used in battle. Many of the Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 non-player characters can also be trained and used in battle, including Tidus, Auron, Seymour, Lulu, Kimahri, Lucil, Nooj, Baralai, and several others. Over 150 additional party members can be gained through this system, with the majority having their own very small storylines
Last Mission a storyline-based mission set three months following the defeat of Vegnagun where Yuna, Rikku, and Paine meet up for the first time since their victory to explore the recently-discovered Yadonoki Tower ruins. The tower has 80 levels with a boss battle on every 20th level. On every 10th level, the girls have a conversation regarding current events in their lives and in Spira.

 

[Daingurse]

In for Vita versions for sure. My first Final Fantasy, definitively better than 13 at least. And X-2? Dat combat system, so much fun.

 

[Valnen]

The fact that NA is getting international content is INCREDIBLE. It's something I never in a million years expected to happen. I thought I'd have to learn Japanese one day to experience it for X-2. Between X and X-2 I probably spent 200 hours on those games. The gimped NA versions at that!

I can't have that disc inside my PS3 soon enough.

Next up, XII international zodiac job system?

I personally didn't like it, though =/ Not even FFX's battle system could make this fun for me.

How have I never heard of this? I'm looking up gameplay videos of that and it looks fun.

 

[Impeccable]

Hm also a good point.

We'll see what happens, I'm sure someone is kind enough to eventually sum it up in a non-spoiler way for us newbs eventually.

I said wow

Your legend is backwards though.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

I hope the first trailer won't kill me out of excitement ;_;

 

[dragonlife]

And new jobs, right?

I have been dying to experience this and the festival jobs since '04 (or whenever it was released). Goddamn.

 

[Seda]

I hope the first trailer won't kill me out of excitement ;_;

RIP the Praiseworthy

 

[Etzer]

My Vita is ready. My memory card is not.

 

[Dragon1893]

Getting the international versions in glorious HD sounds good. It's been a long time since I played these so I will probably be there day 1.

 

[Shinta]

Yeah, but I didn't want to spoil anyone with that.

Same, StalkerUKCG, don't you think it'd be neat for people to learn all that on their own?
VVV

I honestly didn't think it was a spoiler. I can delete it if you guys really think it is.

 

[dragonlife]

It's not. At all. Don't worry about it.

 

[Boco_Jones]

Why isn't this coming out on 360 as well? It would make sense from a financial perspective for Square Enix surely?

Does Sony still have exclusive ties to past PS2 Square Enix games?

I also find it odd that Splinter Cell HD trilogy was for PS3 only and not the 360, when that series has always been known to be a Xbox centric series (and one of the games in the trilogy only appeared on Xbox 1 orginally I believe). How/why in god's name does Sony keep having exclusivity to these hd remakes? Same with the Prince of Persia HD trilogy.

Does Microsoft not care for these remakes or something?

 

[Seda]

I honestly didn't think it was a spoiler. I can delete it if you guys really think it is.

I haven't seen it before but I really don't even know what I'm looking at or how you get it, so not much of a spoiler for me.

 

[Reveirg]

So much WIN from S-E lately. KH Remaster looking, Drakengard 3 announcement, this is looking GREAT.

I'm really hoping they get it out fast. With A Realm Reborn probably coming out around July-August, and both LR: FFXIII and KH 1.5 coming out this Fall... FFX/X-2 HD coming out in June would make perfect sense.

 

[Stark]

Their best upcoming E3 yet?

yes + "prease be excitedo"

 

[DimmuBurgerKing]

Huh. Judging from that screenshot of Tidus, it looks like they put more work into this than simply presenting a higher resolution. May grab this after all.

 

[Mr.Ock]

Man, looking good! Honestly didn't expect so much from SE. (I expected them to pick up the game, upres it and call it a day)
The day they announce FFXII International HD is the day I can finally die (maybe not, I'd like to play that)

 

[Reveirg]

yes + "prease be excitedo"

And if that DQX amazon.fr posting is actually relevant... more good news incoming.

Now we just need Versus XIII, Type-0 HD localization and FFXII HD remaster and we're all set.

Oh and I'm really hoping X/X-2 gets the KH 1.5 music re-recording treatment.

 

[buddha0991]

Best part about X2 International is the about 150 extra party members lol
Dunno whats up with that load time though.
