I picked up FF7 during the sale. Didn't know about this HD patch, but sounds like a pain in the ass that I probably won't bother with especially after hearing the changed music and sound effects. Why would they fuck with perfect music? Hadn't played the game in 15 years and the feels I was feeling got me all nostalgic. Game is so fricken awesome.

They did make them on real platforms. They are much more profitable to port to mobile. It's not like today's smartphones aren't more powerful than the machines the games were originally made for.

I remember selling my copy of FF VII and strategy guide on ebay after I had beat it. Back when the internet and game guides weren't as big, I was able to pull in more than retail cost for a brand new game/guide (the strategy guide was rare apparently; also you could create extra ebay accounts and bid your shit up).

I'm tempted to buy it again for the nostalgia.

I just give 0 fucks about the new FF games...

I don't get how they are not changing gears? The 'we won't remake 7 till we top it' basically admits they know they have been sucking... Yet lightning and 15 are more of the same ultra polished visual turd.

It's a TAD too early to call games that haven't been released turds, unless good graphics > turd in your world in which case you are probably right. If you judge a game by its graphic quality then by all means, 6 and 7 are both turds too as they were extremely good looking in their times, especially 7 had the best cutscenes seen on a console at that point.

Now not saying I'm feeling Lightning will be a particularily good game, but it could be, regardless of the setting/character(and Lightning is basically the only character that didn't suck atrociously in 13 imo) but I kinda liked what I've seen of 15 so far.

Lightning Returns looks great so far, no idea what y'all are talking about.

XV though... even as a graphics whore I can't get behind that game. Character design is awful, and they can fuck right off with the KH-inspired combat. (But I'd still take it over a VII remake.)

I just want my action to stay in my action games mostly.

Yes FF games have always been pushing the graphical edge for their respective generations- but also musical, that seems to have stopped as well. Story is also derp-de-derp land as well now days, many say they where forced into better story telling back when the visuals could not express everything they wanted to- but now that they can, that is what is suppose to drive everything...or something like that.

I don't understand your comment. Lightning Returns is kind of like the beta test of "KH-inspired combat" in a FF game. They're going to use what works well with the new combat structure and cut what doesn't work well when it comes to this particular series. They're virtually the same thing, just FFXV has more characters. Almost like GTAV has 3 main characters.

You standing behind 13 while condemning 15 is enough alone for me to never read what you post again. In fact many a swear word could be used to describe what it is you just said.

LR is still heavily based on the paradigm system, XV is a completely different thing.

And xadion, let's be realistic here--FF stories have always been in derp-de-derp land. XII is pretty much the only exception, and XIII is certainly no worse than anything they wrote for VII-X2. The series has never made it above the level of mediocre anime in that regard.

Didnt like paradigm to begin with thus still reaffirming my disgust with 13 in its entirety. Outside of visuals which FF has always had its just terrible. Honestly its had some of the worse cast of characters in a while.

Coming March 18th to NA. It looks to have a similar type of packaging that Kingdom Hearts 1.5 had, as far as limited edition versions go.

We're thrilled to announce that Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster is coming to North America on March 18th, 2014. We also have a brand new trailer to show off.

Want more of that nostalgic feeling rushing back? You can check out the extended version of the trailer on our official website.

But ladies and gentleman, the news doesn't end there. We have completely updated the Limited Edition Packaging with this gorgeous HD render of Tidus and Yuna, which I just absolutely fell in love with when I first saw this image. We also updated the concept artbook with Yoshitaka Amano's iconic image from Final Fantasy X and X-2. Why did we update it, you ask? It will all make sense later, I promise.

For those of you that didn't know about this until now, you can still pre-order the game and receive a free upgrade to the Limited Edition with the exclusive concept artbook packaging, but quantity is very limited!

Final Fantasy X is near and dear to my heart. I played it for more than 180 hours, got through the entire sphere grid on all characters, and it made me feel so many different emotions like no game before. I also had a mad crush on Khimari.

I know everyone has stories to share, and I'd love to hear everyone's memories about Final Fantasy X and X-2.

Great news, FFX was a great game. I got stuck at the last boss and never beat it, I feel like getting this and starting over is what I need to do.
