I like job changing, but not necessarily the outfit aspect. My problem with the costume changing is really that it looks so stupid, and the costumes are awful. In Lightning Returns I was happy moving between her XIII and XIII-2 outfits (also Cloud's to an extent). But every other outfit looked stupid and I hated that part. If anything, the costumes in FFX-2 were worse, never mind the animations. Yes the animations could be cut, but only after watching that transition once. Going from Gunner to Berserker would have an animation once, that wouldn't repeat. But if I went from Lady Luck to Berserker, or Dark Knight to Gunner, I'd see it again.

Useless to use those, since the remaster is the international versions of each game...
Let us continue the FFX/X-2 HYPE

FFX/X-2 art director Yusuke Naora created this piece at Gallery Nucleus today
so we won't get this art on the internet??
I really want to use this as my wallpaper...

Useless? That's probably overstating it, international version has changes but it doesn't completely change the game....or does it?
I liked all the dresspheres, even if they were pretty sexualized and revealing in some cases (some more extreme than others).
Well, perhaps useless is a strong word; I just want the new guide since it has both games in one. You don't have to keep trading books for X/X-2.

I want the new guide too but I don't want to spend the money. Speaking of money, I was really let down by the Tales of Symphonia HD release. I hope SE has put more effort into this then Namco Bandai did with ToS HD.
I wouldn't be worried (not saying you are).
ToS HD was a non-effort, basically.

All these years I thought ToS was a better game to Vesperia. The HD release cleared that up for me.
Yeah, I am not too worried, SE really put alot of time into this. I kinda wish they had left the soundtrack alone but maybe it will grow on me. Patiently waiting until Tuesday and hoping they aren't two days late for the update again. I already put my $40 into my PSN wallet so whichever version I choose, I will be at the mercy of the PS Store.

Thanks for the heads up so I don't have to buy it.
Can't wait for some BLITZBALL!

Some enemies have gotten revised stats and some treasures have been updated to coincide changes with the new abilities on equipment. While things like maps and locations haven't been changed which the strategy guide is useful in that regard. It won't account for the new items, bosses, and of course things like the expert sphere grid, Last mission or FFX-2's monster breeding (recruitable NPCs and monster helpers, etc)
There is substantial changes to make using an International guide over the original meaningful.

Does anyone know what "size" means? It's in the remaster menu under the character levels, but it's not in the original menu, and I don't remember it being in the game. Admittedly, it's been a while since I played X-2, so maybe I've just forgotten.
Anyone else having this issue?

Its for monster training. All characters are classified as small medium or large. You can take 3 small, 1 medium and 1 small, or 1 large character into battle.
Darn that sexy Mascot sphere, come on, cover them up lol. It's been a while but yeah, IIRC I would use most of the spheres, I've always had a dislike for berserkers though
Nice. Sadly, I start back up this week and I have a art show as well, so I doubt I'll have time to play till this weekend, but I'm still excited to have the limited edition show up at my house Tuesday
I want that in my house! On my wall!
I hope it shows on the internet... I would so buy that.targetpractice
Member
Oh, ok. I'd heard that monster training was one of the additions to the international edition, but I hadn't really looked into it, mostly because I'm much more excited about the additions to X than X-2. That said, I do plan to play both, so I'll have to give this a try.
Hopefully the US one does as well, so I can just sell the code whenever I get my copy

So, this is my first time playing the International version. Can someone explain to me what the Expert Sphere Grid is? Is it just the same thing as the regular Sphere Grid but with freedom to develop your characters as you please? Any other advantages or disadvantages?
I am currently rocking this as my main Vita background. It's for all the stuff I use frequently. Followed by the other console apps in image two. I thought I'd do something different for this X/X-2 release.
So made these. They are theaterythm related, but I wanted something sort of "stock" FF for any future Vita games. If anyone else wants to use em, here you are!
If anyone needs a ff vita background made in anticipation of this game please let me know!

Hmmm I'm getting this on PSV but I never played FFX-2 before and I really don't want to delete everything on my memory card to fit it. Maybe I'll double dip on a PS3 version after I beat X again.
Well the combo guide is 304 pages, while the FFX guide is already 272 pages. They fit everything in the same way Metroid Prime Trilogy guide fit in 3 guides of information?

Funny how that works isn't it - whenever something anyones looking forward to comes around real life crap gets in the way haha
I'll be resubscribing to FF XIV in August once real life lightens up a bit, so hopefully between FFX/X-2 and Titanfall I have enough to keep me busy. It's gonna be rough not buying all the good games that come out between now and then and waiting to pick them up in August.
Good luck in the art show.
You're doing it backwards!
X has the more drastic graphical reworking, it would be the better of the two games to play on the big screen, imo.

I heard that too, but no AA. Its like they redrew the prerendered backdrops, it looks really good.
Question for those FFX experts. (I beat the game when I was younger but I don't remember much about it)
Is this platinum going to be difficult from a skill level perspective, or could just about anyone get it if they grind enough / spend enough time? I remember there being a pretty difficult Chocobo part, and I can't remember how much twitch skill involved in winning Blitz ball.

There's a trophy for dodging a bunch of lightning bolts
No, please, don't remind me of that, let me live in blissful ignorance of that.

At least there isn't one for catching the blue butterflies, at least I didn't see that trophy listed. I hated doing that.
Nothing particularly hard. Just a monumental grind. I'm not going for platinum for that reason
Getting all Celestial Weapons? You'll need it for Khimari's.

Like completing the entire sphere grid. lol

One of the Trophies requires you beat the hardest possible boss that was only in the International edition of the game. To platinum FFX, I'd go so far to say you'll need to do "everything" in terms of content because just getting strong enough to beat this one boss is a very time consuming challenge in-of itself.
The Celestial Weapons thing is probably the main reason I won't be able to plat the game. Fuck Blitzball and Chocobo Racing.

I made this about a year ago if anyone wants to use it. I just wanted to make a clean wallpaper similar to the box arts we get.
This is how it looks on the Vita with FF I - IX

Completing the Sphere Grid is actually not that hard or time consuming. It's getting all the various stats spheres to fill in tbe empty nodes, and replacing lesser stats like the +1, 2 or 3's. That and catching 10 of each monster are where the grinds are. The battles themselves and the minigames are fine

Yeah. I can do the chocobo wobble balloon race, but its the lightning dodging that makes me rage, and blitzball. I just don't like playing it that much. :/ It controls kinda awkward too.
Holy balls that is perfect.
