Trophies for killing Penance and all the prerequisite dark aeons? Lord Jyscal, have mercy on us.

I hope they fucking fix Dark Yojimbo, his bs one hit kills is one thing but not being able to save or have a checkpoint like system inbetween the 5 times you have to kill him is rage inducing bullshit.

It took me hours to beat him 3 times in a row, only to find out anti-petrification doesn't work. :'(

 

[Noi]

I've put up with so much lightning in the last 3-4 years that this shouldn't be a problem

 

[TheContact]

Love Besaid. FFX was the last FF with a great soundtrack

 

[Sean*O]

With FFIV Complete Collection they gave us the choice of Arranged or Original, hopefully they'll do the same for this release.

I sure hope so. I listened to that OST for many years after the game, I hope this isn't about royalties or some shit and both versions are optional.

 

[michaeltraps]

Love Besaid. FFX was the last FF with a great soundtrack

Seriously. Besaid can make me tear up from nostalgia.

 

[BHK3]

Lightning? Oh boy, in order to get the special weapons didn't you like have to finish chocobo races with like 0:00:0.1 left on the clock or something? It's been so long and I never got everything for the game, I stopped at yunasleca before a friend gave me his cheated file with all the aeons and weapons, fun times.

 

[Firebrand]

You fuck up anything about "To Zanarkand" and I'm coming for you SquareEnix. >=/

How do you feel about dubstep?

 

[Yoshichan]

How do you feel about dubstep?

:lol

 

[Suirrad]

Make it at least Cross Save and I'll double dip

 

[Holmes]

Make it at least Cross Save and I'll double dip

It is.

 

[Vashetti]

Looks beautiful.

Nice and clean but still resembles the original menus.

And my god, the trophies in this game are going to be a nightmare.

GIVE ME A RELEASE DATE.

 

[Yoshichan]

It is.

I will play this game for a week non-stop. Mark my words.

Spoiler

I've already saved vacation days for this game... umbasa.

 

[The_Monk]

Another great news for these two games, thanks for posting fellow GAFfer.

Very curious to have them in my hands. Going for the Vita version. Is there any news about it? One game case with two carts in it? 2 Cases for each game? This is not going to be digital only, right?

 

[Exentryk]

Looks nice. Give me a release date now.

 

[Dick Justice]

So will there be an option to switch to the old music?

 

[TheChaos0]

Music is getting me more hyped than the game itself.

 

[injurai]

That new UI makes me hard.

 

[Seda]

I really like the new menus, and yeah I share similar sentiment to those worried about rearranged music not living up to the originals.

 

[Yoshichan]

injurai :lol

So will there be an option to switch to the old music?

They would've probably mentioned it if that was a possibility.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

This will be the best FF for 2 generations in a row.

Funny and sad at the same time.

 

[MCD]

Dumb question: are they rearranging the music because of licenses?

 

[Yoshichan]

This will be the best game for 2 generations in a row.

Funny and sad at the same time.

Fixed... and yeah, that's funny and sad.

I haven't replayed FFX since 2006 or something, just because I knew that shit would get an HD release at some point... and here we are :_:

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

This will be the best FF for 2 generations in a row.

Funny and sad at the same time.

LOL.. so true

Spoiler

for me at least

 

[Arukado]

Hmmm, the new menus look fucking great.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Dat menu screen! Looks nice.

 

[ULTROS!]

How do you feel about dubstep?

What the actual fucks?

 

[Megidolaon]

I wanna platinum this, but fuck I know I probably won't be able to win that stupid Chocobo race for the Sun Sigil. Maybe my reflexes are better than teenage me.

I may be able to play blitzball and dodge 200 bolts again (ugh...)

Well, the new music arrangements should be cool. And the new menus look sweet. Time to forget this gen and go back in time and pretend these are the new FF's.

 

[Vashetti]

Dumb question: are they rearranging the music because of licenses?

No they want it to sound nicer.

Don't worry about the rearranging news.

KH 1.5's soundtrack was rearranged and it sounds stunning.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Yeah, probably won't be platinumed either like KH. I will not do the 200 dodge thing, you can easily mess that up. Can you imagine? 198 done, then you mess up, talk about hair pulling out.

 

[Yoshichan]

Yeah, probably won't be platinumed either like KH. I will not do the 200 dodge thing, you can easily mess that up. Can you imagine? 198 done, then you mess up, talk about hair pulling out.

Funny that you mention exactly that number...

I once failed at lightning dodges at 198.

Yep.

 

[NoctisLucis]

Wow the screens looks awesome... I like the updated look of the menus and stuff.



What do they mean by 'newly arranged'? Will there be new music or just remixed?

I loved the soundtrack of FFX too


This will be the first HD game I will buy... already beaten FFX and FFX-2 but would like to live through it again and this HD release seems pretty legit.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

When the fuck is this coming out arrghhhh! Give us a release dat ffs SE.

 

[HeelPower]

Amazing news...My favourite and most important fiction piece of all time..Extremely happy with SE's treatment :'D

 

[toddhunter]

Dream options:

* Original music
* Remastered music
* Orchestral arrangements

 

[Yoshichan]

Do we know if the cutscenes are skippable?

 

[plutoknight]

This part of the start screen always confused me:

They had plans on making FFX connected with PlayOnline for what reasons, exactly?

FFIX was the first Final Fantasy game to do this, the idea was to use the website to give exclusive content/hints/tips/etc. FFIX's strategy guide was complete crap because of the constant linking to the POL site (which I think is entirely nuked except for the FFXI side of things)

PlayOnline was once so important, it was the launcher/service for 3 of SE's major MMOs -- FFXI, ..some JP MMO whose name escape me, and the Japanese version of EverQuest 2. Oh, and online TetraMaster. That was once a thing.

If it's anything like Kingdom Hearts 1.5, it might simply be a very slight arrangement recorded with live instruments. The result on Kingdom Hearts was phenomenal.

Here are some tracks:
- Bustin'Up on the Beach
- Traverse Town
- Hand in Hand
- Scherzo Di Notte

Still waiting for the release date and some info on the Vita version...

Oh god, the Hollow Bastion fight track sounds horrible..I'm worried now >.<; (Then again, Traverse Town sounded amazing...)

Just don't screw it up SE. FFX has one of my favorite soundtracks of all time.

Those menus are awesome......This comes out in October, right? Right? RIGHT?!?!? (Yeah I know, no release date. Thinking November to replace where Lightning Returns was...that'd be my guess)

 

[Seda]

Do we know if the cutscenes are skippable?

I haven't seen anything.

 

[Vashetti]

Do we know if the cutscenes are skippable?

They most likely will be, they are in KH 1.5

 

[Avallon]

RELEASE DATE DAMNIT!

 

[Stuart444]

My first encounter with a dark aeon was hilarious... I had no idea they even existed and I was roaming around in Thunder Plains doing something random. That's when I saw this guy standing near my save point...

"Wtf?"

I was positive that this man wasn't standing here before (I had been spending over 200 hours grinding in Thunder Plains... don't ask me why). I speak to him, boom - Dark Shiva. How did the encounter go? Well... her 255 Agility dominated all of my characters and she killed every single one of my characters without me even doing one command :lol Loved it. As a kid, I thought I had found a glitch because of how impossible that felt.

I had a similar situation except it was returning to Besaid, I went up to try and enter the place and BOOM, Dark Valefor...

Needless to say I never beat it and I never went back there again.

This time will be different

 

[Yoshichan]

This time will be different

Are you sure about that ?!

 

[Shahed]

Those new menus are a massive improvement. If all they do is remaster the music, then I'll be happy. But if they can find a way to include the X-2 piano collections, I might even get it for Vita!

I had a similar situation except it was returning to Besaid, I went up to try and enter the place and BOOM, Dark Valefor...

Needless to say I never beat it and I never went back there again.

This time will be different

Valefor isn't that hard in that it doesn't do a lot of damage or require a much stat grinding. Just make sure you revisit the Coister of Trials as soon as you can though!

 

[Yoshichan]

What if this is released the same month/week as PS4...

Oh, and online TetraMaster. That was once a thing. )

Should've gone with Triple Triad.

 

[Subaru]

What's the difference between DefenSe and DefenCe?

Didn't like it the new menus, and this font is very... clean. I don't like it.

 

[Goli]

The new menus look a lot like the menus they did for FFV iOS. Makes me wonder if this is really all internal SE or if maybe Matrix is involved considering they've done updated remakes and ports of other FF games.

 

[Yoshichan]

What's the difference between DefenSe and DefenCe?

Defence: British
Defense: American

 

[Stuart444]

Are you sure about that ?!

I am... *shakes fist* I will defeat all the Dark Aeons this time.

Spoiler

I hope so anyway >_>

Valefor isn't that hard in that it doesn't do a lot of damage or require a much stat grinding. Just make sure you revisit the Coister of Trials as soon as you can though!

It was a shock for me because I went back to get some of the missed things in the trials (I think, it's been a while but I think I backtracked because of it) and suddenly a Dark version of Valefor just came down, started a fight and killed each character it touched like nothing..

I was probably way underleveled (or something like that anyway) and was just not ready for it. but it was a shock. I think the blow came from his 'special' attack that killed us off.

If that's vague at all, it's because this happened years ago so I barely remember much outside of Valefor destroying me.

 

[Subaru]

Defence: British
Defense: American

Oh didn't know about that... thank you very much! <3

 

[RPGCrazied]

Funny that you mention exactly that number...

I don't think I even got passed 100, lol.
