Still higher resolution than PS2!

I don't mind paying £30 RRP for this, as long as its done properly, and I mean MGS Collection levels of love. If this edges closer to the Ubisoft quality line, everyone at that company can do one.

FFX Was a corridor game, it disguised it far better than FFXIII did though.

This is Square-Enix... they'll sell it at full price, make it 720p with no skip cutscene function.

FFX was a slight corridor game with lots of branching so I guess it fits!

Sony didn't do it for GoW and it looked like shit. I don't expect Square Enix to do a better job.
And the game itself needs some work too. It just doesn't look really good in HD. It's definitely no FF XII.
Porting a PS2 game is easier than remaking SNES and PS games?

I didn't know about this, now I feel sad again that there hasn't been any news on FFVIII and VII for PC since June. Someone found out that the games' files were on Steam, but no word of if they'll ever actually come out =(

Those games are hard to get running and have fixed resolutions, which makes them look like crap on anything higher than 800x600. Don't get your hopes up and play the PlayStation versions on an emulator or a PSP.

Played up until the 3rd disc of VIII not more than 2 years ago. I was more than happy with how it looked and ran just fine. But yes, on Vista/W7 they won't work apparently and the lack of widescreen is a tough sell. Just wish there were widescreen Steam versions of both because I don't own VII.

I think the only new thing Square Enix will add to the game is their long-ass development time.

"No" means also no chance to release it in the west for Square Enix. If I'm not mistaken HD Classics must be in a bundle to be sold here. One more reason to start thinking this will be a remake and not labeled as HD Classics. Unless Sony is planning to change the rules that is.

Why is square scraping the bottom of the barrel when there are still games that are actually good to remake?

The voice direction isn't even that bad overall, there are just some problems with the underlying game that kinda spoil it. Taylor does a great job with Tidus doing an annoying, cocky voice at the start and a "mature," sober voice in the narration/endgame, but Tidus' voice clips in battle never change so the whole effect is kinda spoiled.
The specific "HD Classics" are uprezzed, asset-equivalent PS2 games running at higher resolution and framerate, with trophies added in but otherwise essentially unchanged. The reports suggest that this will be an enhanced up-port of FFX (i.e. probably 70-80% reused assets, with some content changes or additions) and therefore won't fall afoul of the same rules. Still essentially a port and not a remake, though.

I definitely wouldn't mind if they give this treatment to Final Fantasy XII, it had its fair share of issues, but it didn't stop you every 4 steps you took with a mundane random battle.

How is Square Enix' port and remake efforts (since they do a lot those nowadays)? I know the iOS ones are shoddy but I'm unsure about the others. Chrono Trigger NDS was a very good port, but graphically unchaged. Though they added extra dungeons and an extra ending which seems sort of tacked on in my opinion.

I've delayed a playthrough of FFX because I want to see what this is first.

Same.
The FF4/s for PSP are a really nice port I think. I was impressed.

That rumor came from a site called PSTIME.

There was never any actual announcement and I wouldn't trust every random game site either.
That was just a roumour spread through the internet, I don't think squeenix said anything official about this.

Going with what sells, I presume.
People are still surprised? They did say REMAKE when they announced it. (yet some people still deny it)

Can you find that announcement? It would help to clear some things up.

WORTH NOTING: In A. O. Smith's most recent interview with RPGSite (I think Kagari was the interviewer, actually, but maybe I'm misremembering), he gave a non-denial denial when asked if they'd be redoing any localization and voice acting for FFX HD. I think he said something like "wouldn't that be nice."
That would me fantastic.
As people have said before. A remake using the most of the original engine, with slightly retouched character models, some rearranged music (from the Piano Collections and/or other arranged songs by Hamauzu? Such as the one he already recorded for his solo album).
Some of the pre-rendered background and the CG movies would have to be adapted to 16:9 though.
I'm also hoping they'll get rid of the random encounters... but that's just wishful thinking.

Isn't the one that everybody has been begging for since the last decade, FFVII?

Someone already said this but damnit, this makes you feel like they just knee jerkingly talked about it before the conference went live and just put together a FFX photo off google images and called it good. See you in 3 years preview 1!
With how incompetent SE has been recently, this doesn't gain any confidence. Especially if it's a a true remake.

If it's just the usual HD glaze over, then I think they should throw in X-2 with it (like they did for FFIV PSP). It's a real complete remake than just the base game is fine (like with FFIV DS).

I think it would take Square about 15 years to get this game out the door. So we probably have at least a decade left.

FFX is a better game and far more port-friendly, though, if they're going to be reusing *some* assets.

They did V and VI on the GBA.
Oh, thanks for the clarification. For some reason, it never occured to me that it was a rumor.
