Totally agree, the reason for this is that it was far easier to bump X's graphics up to HD rather than do a complete remake of an earlier ff title. Although it's conceivable that they could re-use assets from the various ff7 offshoots if they remade that particular title.Danial said:
As much as I would rather they remade another title (cough, Xenogears, cough), at least it isn't another ATB.
FFX was the first FF game I didn't buy, though I rented it twice. I even dodged the lightning 200 times for Lulu's weapon.
It wasn't the first one I didn't like though. I hated 7, liked 8, and 9 was utterly forgettable to me though I liked Vivi and Beatrix.
And I bought and liked FFX-2 for some reason even though I barely even finished it.
So of all the games in their catalogue they choose FFX, and I am not excited. I mean I'd love HD Lulu, Rikku, and Auron as I used them exclusively, but the reason I didn't buy the game is that it just had zero replayability to me. Once you have gone from point A to B and dinked around getting weapons thats pretty much it. That I hated blitzball, the spheregrid, the storyline, and most of the characters also didn't help.
I want, possibly more than anything else from SE, is an HD remake of Vagrant Story. Second would be a new FF Tactics, or a 3DS port of the original.

Seriously, the context is that they're miserable and trying to force themselves to laugh to try and feel better. They laugh normally immediately after.
There are so many examples of genuinely bad voice acting in the game, I don't understand why this scene gets picked on.
"Hurr durr everyone hates FFX, not a single person wants a remake, I'm going to whine over and over."
So many stupid posts here and yet all over this website it is listed by the majority as their top ranking FF game.
Seems to me there's plenty of people excited for a remake. I wonder if it will look any better on PS3 as opposed to the handheld version, all I noticed was some smoother edges and in all honesty it's not like the game looks awful on PS2 anyway, it has aged reasonably well.

I agree on your first point. I don't see that much of a graphical improvement.ShadowKatt said:
They are still making a PS3 version, the handheld version is mostly for the japanese audience, since portables are more popular there.
They are still making a "new" Final Fantasy, as in more sequels to Final Fantasy 13. The other FF titles have been delayed by the failure and remaking of FF 14.
To be fair, it's much easier to smooth out a few edges on FF Xs engine than to create an entirely new one for FF7 HD.Daystar Clarion said:
And suddenly I realise that no matter what language we speak, forced and awkward will always be cringe worthy to watch and hear. Thank you for teaching me that FFX's infamous laughing scene will now be even worse in my memory.MiskWisk said:
FOr all the people complaining it's X rather than VII, surely it's easier/quicker to make a HD remake of X, which needs a bit of touching up, rather than VII where essentially the entire game has to be redone from scratch. X is probably my favourite FF, I loved it, and i'll certainly be picking this up when it comes out.
From the article:FFP2 said:Hold up, is this a Vita exclusive? Show the PS3 owners some love too.
I don't really get HD re-releases of PS2 games... PCSX2 can pull the same results for most parts.
Oh well, at least they're updating us on development
"Square Enix hopes that it will bring out wallets as well: FFX's HD remake, originally announced two years ago, will hit the PS3 and Vita in the near future"
It is coming for PS3, they just hope some people will be inspired to pick up a Vita because of its release.

The japanese scene has some underlying tones of using the laughing scenes as a medium of forwarding repressing sorrow and putting on a bold front. The english one gets bashed quite a bit for the fact that the "now-i-laugh-in-the-face-of-total-despair" sounds almost EXACTLY the same way the rest of the game doews.
*spoil*
its almost a decade old innit? but still, some arrive late for parties. THe whole underlying theme of utter despair lurking right around the corner and good ol' cthulu-dick being an omnipresent threat as "the leveller of all" gets slightly hollowed out when the protagonist (or, ya know, not really since it's debatably Yunas story) sounds about emotionally involved as a turnip, on a bad day, in the rain, with bronchitis. They have a lot of decent VA in the game proper (guv'nor) and the fact that Tidus doesn't come across as the japanese (only one not to comprehend the vastness of the sacrifice necessitated) but rather as, i dunno the one they have (giddy manchild that sounds petulant and confused) makes for a rather glaring difference in the game as such.
And that scene is usually lifted out as the prime offender to figurehead the entire argument.
And that's ok, some games don't age well, VA wasn't "all that" back in th' days. But if you want AWFUL then go listen to the old dynasty warriors. or even Samurai warriors one, that was AWFUL.
If they let you skip the cutscenes then I would happily replay FFX. The battle system was fun and interesting, but trying to play it again, I decided that watching the cutscenes was not worth the gameplay. I mean, seriously, does every conversation need to be locked into a fixed camera angle and spoken aloud? LET ME SKIP THE STUPID, STUPID story and let me fight the boss, dammit!
