Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD remaster (PS3/Vita)

[The Ichi]

Anyone picked up a copy yet? I downloaded it for my PS3 (big mistake, it took hours) and it looks amazing, especially the backgrounds. Haven't gone into the bonus stuff yet.

[Totorob101]

Going through all the games at the moment, cant wait to play this. Loving Lulu in full HD ^_^.

So, I know nothing of this. Is it merely graphically superior to the Final Fantasy X/X-2, or is there more?

The character models have been completely re-done (some look better than others), the soundtrack has been remixed, and being a PS3 game there are trophies. Probably only recommended if you're a big X fan, which I am.

They added in all the extra's from the international version also. The "expert" sphere grid and the distill (sphere type) abilities were added. Haven't played it too much but it basically is the international versions with the linking movies and such added.

Sorry just lost in blitzball at the moment.

Unfortunately no. f*** Amazon. I should be getting it tomorrow, though.

But I'm looking forward to hearing the remixed music and finally getting to play with the Psychiccer dressphere.

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

Yep, just got to Bevelle in the game. Personality wise, I forgot how great Lulu is in this game. The soundtrack is great too.

I don't think I'll start X-2 for sometime. I'm gonna go for all the celestial weapons, Dark Aeons, and attempt to beat Penance so X should keep me occupied for a while. I'm not sure whats worse, dodging 200 bolts of lightning or doing the butterfly mini game so I can use Kimahri's weapon.

Just got it a week ago, got the airship and tried tackling the Omega Ruins, I beat Ultima Weapon with no trouble, but Omega Weapon kicked my ass. I found out in this version, his HP is 999,999 and not the 99,999 from the previous US version.

I also had my first encounter with the Dark Aeon Valefor and killed me before I could get a turn, wow I've got some leveling to do.

Has anyone ever got Tidus' Celestial Weapon? That Chocobo Race is a b****.

Yeah, I got it on my orignal run years ago. While Omega has high HP, he's probably the easiest super boss in the game. It's the dark aeons that are a bitch to beat, The Magus Sisters in particular. If I remember correctly, it took me two or three hundred hours of gameplay to even stand a chance against them.

Once I get enough money to pay for it, I'll go & buy it (since I'm not at all familiar with these two games)

You've gotta be like, ridiculously precise with the Chocobo race. I remember spending hours on it back in the day.

Anyway, I'll probably get this at a later date when I've got some spare cash rolling about, I always enjoyed X, never finished X-2 though. Got real close to the end and seemingly just...gave up.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

I'll have to pick this up later, if only to do right by the greatest and most underrated FF protagonist of all time.

[J is Justice]

Well, this sucks. The disc finally arrived but it's faulty. Some unknown force is stopping me from playing this game, dammit. Guess I'll have to buy it from the PS store.

The same thing happened to me. I went to get the Jecht Sphere in Besaid, not realizing that I'd face Dark Valefor. Even when the battle started, I was like "Oh no, Valefor. How will I ever beat him?" And then he did Sonic Wings on Auron, doing 9,999 damage. I was not expecting that.

[The Ichi]

Something I only noticed, but this game must have the highest bodycount in the series.

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

I've been doing the chocobo race for the past hour and it's f***ing frustrating. I nearly threw my controller when I scored 0.5 seconds.

I dunno the world gets destroyed in Final Fantasy 6 that had to rack up quite the number of fatalities...

not to mention Kefka's death laser that he fires in random directions... including several times when you fight him.

[Fiddleford H. McGucket]

Anyone else just completely lose in-game (but not cutscene) sound?

I just did after winning the Blitzball tourney in Luca

[Ryback on a Pole!]

Might have to get this, was a big fan of FFX. I spent hours playing Blitzball

In fact, they should release a downloadable, Blitzball game with additional teams and such.

[LastCall]

I completely forgot about this. Gotta pick it up soon.

I think I spent more time playing Blitzball than playing the actual game.
