No it doesn't. I'm the first to sing the praises of PCSX2, and I completed the entire game on it, but the character models and textures here are greatly improved, and you have native widescreen support. I also think some environment textures are better, but I'm not certain.
I just hope they use some AF.
Edit: looking at it some more, at least some environment textures are clearly redone.

Would kill for a turbo button 
It is quite hard to go back to ps1 ps2 jrpgs with them slow ass battles and loading.
Will probably just pick up x2 on vita. Never played that one and I heard the combat was great.

This should definitely be the reference; if you can't tell how much work they put into the HD remaster with this comparison, then you are blind.

Yeah, this isn't a simple upres as some are trying to paint it. They've gone and and fixed the blurry and pixelated textures.

Oh, I want KH back on a console as well, but why not give 1 & eventually 2 the same remake treatment on VITA as X and X-2? IT would be consistent at the least..
lol at the facebook page they link to:

Are Japanese devs allergic to antialiasing? How much work would it be to do something basic like throwing some MLAA on there? 2, 3 hours?

They definitely changed his face a bit.
Those people were stupid.
Older version looks so much better, wtf. He seriously looks like a blowup doll now.

I wonder if this means the Kingdom Hearts remaster is going to be $40, too.

I'm surprised SE didn't have the balls to price it $60. They usually have no problem over pricing their games.
It is.
The only HD collection that's been over $40 at release that I know of was MGS HD Collection, which I attributed to the fact that it had online play at the time. Then again, it dropped to $40 so quickly that I don't think anyone even remembers it being $50.

Well seperate Vita version might be that. . .

I don't think I ever finished X-2 because I didn't really enjoy it. X was OK, but again I wasn't overly keen on the game (Blitzball; dear god, and the dungeon puzzles were a pain IIRC). I may give it another shot if I can buy it at a good price.
Square Enix is doing a PAX live stream. Potential for footage? http://www.ustream.tv/squareenix

Was expecting this game to look like rpg maker psx made after all those blurry iOS 'remakes'

Confirmed for EU this year as well. I somehow missed that X-2 was coming as well, actually had it on PS2 but never played it.

Yeah, I'm kinda expecting 29.99 for each VITA version, but hoping for $19.99..

I don't know much about game development but I'm not sure it's possible to just "throw some MLAA on there."

The remodelled Tidus looks a lot closed to the FMV version whereas in the original they looked like two completely different people
I haven't been this excited for a game in years and getting FFX-" international as well is awesome.
Roll on Monday!
Aaaaaarggggggghhh!

Top one is a CG movie, bottom is not.
PCSX2, they re-rendered the backgorunds.
To be fair, the top screen is from one of the CG cutscenes. We actually don't know what it looks like in the HD version yet, but that was one of the big pre-rendered scenes that they would have to do extra work on (especially with that PCSX2 screen, yikes).
Here is the corresponding Sony NA blog:

Its pretty much the same, but it confirms for NA this year as well.
Edit: Beaten
The lighting is much flatter in the HD re-release. Nothing the lighting on Rikku's hair and Lulu's shoulders is pretty much missing from the HD re-release.
Would be cool if they could do FFXII remaster a bit differently and work with Matsuno and fix the story pacing and such. There are a lot of great ideas in there, they just aren't presented well.

Hmmm I remember there was like 2 different models for each character for different scenarios( the quality in hair made it obvious) Will they be the same now?

The lighting is completely different here as well.
I'm actually amazed that you can make anything out in the PS2 screen that even resembles the HD version screen!
