FFX is more popular than any GoW

It's a great deal and I'm extremely excited about it. I just think you people are being waaaaay too optimistic.
This (or KH 1.5 HD Remix) could quite possibly end up being the best-selling HD remaster, for sure. I wouldn't doubt that. But 3 million would be totally ridiculous. The only reason anyone's throwing *that* number around is the whole idea of this selling to half of the people who originally bought FFX (which won't happen). There's nothing to back up the 3 million number either.

WOW, now THAT's a remaster.
Bububububut... there's not much difference!
Looks better than XIII, right?
Wakka must have hit you with Dark Buster, you're blind!

Considering how long FF fans have been waiting for a good HD FF it's not too far fetched.

I guess we'll see. I'm not going to throw a number, but I will say that I expect the collection to sell more than the others. It will be the best-selling HD Collection out there.

It looks close, namely Lulu's model.

You need glasses:
They definitely changed his face a bit.
Those people were stupid.
That seriously looks great. The last great "Gooch blessed" Final Fantasy game.
The character models look so much better than the original I was shocked at first, but we haven't seen enough of the environment to compare it to XIII yet IMO. Also, I expected a funnier answer
.I don't really see why that makes a difference. People won't buy this just because it's a FF game in HD, they'll buy it because they liked X/X-2.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Are some people really saying that? In my opinion, that statement is just as ridiculous as saying that it looks on par/better than FFXIII.

I could post a really ugly image of FFXIII if you want
Chuck Norris keeps defending that stance, yes.

RE: The likelihood of the remasters selling 3m.
Don't forget that there really isn't a "better" version of FFX/X-2 that has come along since its original release.
Obviously opinions vary on its place in FF history overall, but the fact of the matter is that these are titles with a world, characters, and battle mechanics of its own. Its not like the GoW collections which are just selling an upgraded versions of earlier entries in an ongoing franchise that hasn't changed much, same deal with DMC, etc.
FFX sold over 6m units, and its sequel 4m. These were very big games in their day, especially in Japan.

Chuck... Norris :lol?
Just post a picture of any part its liner gameplay, that'll convince me!I could post a really ugly image of FFXIII if you want
FF X has outsold any GoW in NA?
I could have sworn GoW has done much better.

These are reasons for the FFX HD Remaster to sell very well and better than any HD Collection before.
These are not reasons for 3 million sales to be within reach.

Lulu's boobs are the defining graphical marker here. Look at the tits on both versions, and the difference will become clear.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I think some people who are expecting massive sales are forgetting something:
These are old games.

Here's a question--will this game get any translation update? I don't mean in terms of character dialogue (which I highly doubt will be changed), but more so on spell names and the like. Like, will they update the spell names to the modern Final Fantasy translations; i.e. "Raise" instead of "Life," or "Libra" instead of "Scan?"

We'll see. I'm hoping they make some tweaks and additions to the gameplay, and if that happens, some changes to the localization could be possible as well.

The GoW collection has been on sale for a long time, and it hasn't had to deal with releasing in a year when new consoles are coming out.

They're so..... ROUND!

I agree the only reason I bought GOW was because I never played it on ps2

If LR has another 50% drop compared to XIII-2, then I think it's a very real possibility.
I doubt this will make 3 mil though, but it would be nice.

They really are immaculate. I was impressed.
So outselling GoW Collection (2.5 million WW) is something you wouldn't doubt, but 3 million WW is ridiculous? That's a pretty narrow prediction you're making here.

KH1 + Chain of memories did barely over 100k in the first week and I'm not sure if it will get to 200k.

I hope so !
I wonder if we'll see this "corrected"?:
Well, if the CG cutscenes are any indication, they'll probably crop this image so it's in 16:9 and upscale it to 720p. I'm not so sure how it'll turn out. Probably not good.
lol, I hope they keep this actually.

Totally tempted by this, but then I remember there's a good chance it won't work on the PS4. :\
I wasn't aware your PS3 self-destructed as soon as the PS4 hits the market.
I think he's referring to the text, instead of the background image. That kid says he wants to grow up to be a Blitzball, not a Blitzball player.

One of the lesser known features! However, it does curtail the time available to play this collection if I'm to trade in the PS3 towards the PS4. Still, this is a conversation for another thread probably.
Buy a Vita!

Square should have something like this on their official site for the remasters, and for every screenshot. I don't remember the old games looking that bad, but the difference in the new textures and models is astounding. The design on Wakka's bracer, Lulu's hair and outfit, and the grass by the staircase are particular improvements.
These games have been a long time coming, but I think the wait is officially justified. Can't wait for Monday's trailer.

One of the reasons the GOW Collection sold so well was that it came just before GOW3 came out. Also, it has taken a long time to get to 2.5 million. FFX will sell very well I'm sure, especially in Japan.
but wont japan get a trailer too?

Everyone gets so mad when anyone wants bc I want bc too and your reply is somewhat silly to me. I don't know about your setup, but I don't have ROOM to keep every system when I buy the new one.
