Unworthy Americans who getting International is extra enough. Good thing I only imported FFX and FFX-2

Kyon, I've only played the NA release of FFX-2, what am I missing in the international version?

Ho boy, are you missing a lot.

FFX-2 international Last Mission contains a whole new chapter for the game.

It's an epilogue about the girls' final adventure together, and it's pretty poignant.

You get new jobs.

You get monster recruitment.

Then you also get the ability to CHANGE party members, including some who are already in the Farplane.

We also have ShinRa open up a coliseum, and not just for prizes, you also get multiple superbosses, AND you get the explanation to as how Shinra is (wink wink) linked to FF7's Shin Ra company.

You also, if you felt like it, can beat the hell out of Brother in combat.


We missed out BIG time. FFx-2 international is like a different game in many ways.

So if I'm a fan of FFX-2 then it's worth it to import the International version?

 

[Aeana]

To be honest, I didn't really feel like the extra content in FF10-2 was that great, personally. The two new jobs were kinda eh, the monster party member system didn't really amount to much, and the extra dungeon was okay I guess. I wasn't as satisfied with it as I was with FF10 International.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I bet they'll do XII HD if this game sells really well. I would LOVE some XII HD with extra Marks and stuff. There seriously weren't enough.

 

[Kyon]

So if I'm a fan of FFX-2 then it's worth it to import the International version?

YES!!!!

Also there is a "Bare" dressphere which unlocks if you break all the other ones lol basically you are "naked" with plain clothes it's definitely superior. Packed with lots of content.


@Aeana while I agree I think for FFX-2 fans who only played the original that Last Mission is a superb addition to the already flawless masterpiece

 

[AuthenticM]

the monster party member system didn't really amount to much

wait, the what ?

 

[jaxword]

So if I'm a fan of FFX-2 then it's worth it to import the International version?

I'd say yes, if you like lots of battles. There's no real new maps (one dungeon only) and it's just a ton of fighting.

But who doesn't want to beat up the weird incestuous creepy hillbilly Brother?



However, I'd also say let's wait until Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and FFX HD come out and see if S-E sees enough profit to justify it.

Maybe we'll all get lucky after all and they'll see there's a market for the International versions.

 

[Kyon]

wait, the what ?

Yes. There is a recruit type system just like what the thief plagiarist FFXIII-2 stole from X-2. It's not that great but it's fun for the extra post game stuff especially.

Just like FFXIII-2 was INSPIRED by you can also recruit human members from the X universe like Tidus, Jecht, Seymour etc

 

[jaxword]

wait, the what ?

Haha, how come when I mentioned it, it didn't register as something to question?

 

[AuthenticM]

Let me take this moment to tell everyone how beautiful the main theme of X-2 is. It's probably my favorite. I remember when I got the game back when it came out, I would let the game sit at the main menu and just listen to the music.

http://youtu.be/aRpkI1K_lHA

sigh. Memories, memories.

 

[Kyon]

WaiT that what I'm listening to on my iPod at this very moment.

You guysssssss ;__;

Eternity is flawless

Square is bringing back X-3 on PS4. That's what's holding back the company. I'm calling it.

 

[ALBOFIGHTER]

That would be silly. Doing that would take as much effort as a new game. I don't know why anybody would think they would do that.

They've released plenty in the past 7 years. some of my favorite games they've ever released.

wouldn't it depend on the engine? Sometimes you can just upscale the models with more polygons and add more detail. I don't know if the initial models have to be made with that in mind though.

Think about GTA4 PC mod. That game is pretty old and bad looking but how is it that some guy added amazing HD detail for the pc version on his own and yet we have a multi million dollar company with lots of experience and resources struggling to do the same? I don't buy into the BS these companies spit out.

I remember talking to Sven from Capcom long ago when he mentioned that the stages and costumes in sf4 take a lot of time and resources to do. Then we have regular users on pc who make their own costumes and backgrounds at a professional level on their own at home in less then a week. That's why I say these companies should be embarrassed with the management so far.

I would die. Lord ... Die

Yeah, it was supposed to have Rikku as the main character. Alas, they scrapped it in favor of making XIII.

What a mistake that was.

RIP

I can't. Rikku Returns sounds waaaay more interesting. Lord the thought of that.. Ugh

 

[LowParry]

Ya know...I remember a lot of "ya know"s in FFX.

 

[ULTROS!]

Yeah, it was supposed to have Rikku as the main character. Alas, they scrapped it in favor of making XIII.

Should have been about Lord Braska, Auron, and Jecht. That would make things much more interesting.

 

[Comet]

I wish I were more excited, but FFX will always mark the decline of the series that ultimately led to FFXIII (and XIII-2 and XIII Lightning Returns, wtf Square) :/

 

[Levyne]

Should have been about Lord Braska, Auron, and Jecht. That would make things much more interesting.

Everyone (ok, lots of people) wanted this. It would've been so awesome ;-;

I haven't seen any SF4 mods on PC that look as well done as the professional stuff. Care to point a few out? I also don't know much about modding. Just seems to me that taking 3D backgrounds from a ps2 game and making them ps3 quality like FF13 wouldn't be the easiest thing in the world, and then you have to get it running on Vita and PS3 when it's already been shown with other ports that just getting the games running smoothly is an issue.

 

[Aeana]

Wakka was Raijin's bro.

 

[AuthenticM]

Fuck yeah. FFX-0.

 

[Levyne]

Must have been an easy way to get the lips to sort of match the dub. Or maybe they actually are saying something similar originally at the end of every other sentence.

JapanGAF chime in?

Edit: More appropriately, I mean "get the dub to match the lips"

 

[Vane_MagicCity]

I bet they'll do XII HD if this game sells really well. I would LOVE some XII HD with extra Marks and stuff. There seriously weren't enough.

No they won't, it's taking them forever to get this game out the door. XII is a much bigger game and it would take them until 2020 to get it out.

 

[B.K.]

I'm sure they won't, but I really wish they would retranslate and redub the game before they release it in America.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Final Fantasy X is probably my second favorite (though that opinion may drop if I ever decide to commit to actually playing it again) to Final Fantasy V, so yay?

Definitely would be a lot more excited about these HD rereleases if I hadn't started PS2/GCN/Wii emulation recently.

 

[funkystudent]

Just get X HD out the door ASAP and move on to XII.

 

[badcrumble]

the things i hope to see:
NG+
cross play so i can transfer my saves between the two
new content that has never been in the game before!

New Game+ retaining aeon stats/abilities, unlocked Overdrive modes, Sphere Grid customizations, and equipment would be amazing.

FFXII's Strong Mode is the crappiest "NG+" ever, though. Ugh. And FFX-2's is one of the best because it resets your levels.

 

[Ainaurdur]

Being able to import previous Al Bhed Primer info was not enough for you guys?

 

[jaxword]

RIP

I can't. Rikku Returns sounds waaaay more interesting. Lord the thought of that.. Ugh

FFX-2 went through a lot of different stages. At one point it there was rumored to be FFX-2:Rikku and FFx-2:Yuna as separate games, sort of like "Gaiden" side stories for each other.

It's really hard to find concrete info on those, though.

 

[ronito]

I love FFX, the haters are just wanting to hate. It's certainly in my top 3 Final Fantasies. But that being said after checking the video all I can think is "That's it? All this time and that's it?" Making crappy iOS games must take more resources than I had thought.

 

[Digital-Hero]

I'm finally glad we see FFX HD running. Why is this port taking forever if they aren't doing dramatic changes?

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

1) Will they also be re-rendering the FMVs? We know from Advent Children Complete that Square-Enix is willing to simply upscale them even if it'll look like shit.

I am curious about that as well. If the KH 1.5 ReMIX CGs are an indication of quality, the GCs of FFX HD might look very good.

You can see a sample of a KH 1.5 GC in the JF2013 Trailer:

[Aurizen]

square is going to the event tomorrow i hope we'll see FFX HD tomorrow

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I would die. Lord ... Die

Some website reported that Kitase said X-2 would be about Yuna and X-3 about Rikku, but later on Kitase stated that it was a mistranslation or misunderstanding or something.

Should have been about Lord Braska, Auron, and Jecht. That would make things much more interesting.

They actually considered making X-2 about those characters at first, but decided that it would have been LESS interesting because it would have just been a rehash of FFX (except you lose at the end).

 

[Kouriozan]

Aw I soooo want to play it now.
I loved FF X-2 but only played the PAL release.

 

[Syril]

I doubt it would happen, but I would love to see them redo the English dub as part of this with proper lip syncing and everything.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Everyone (ok, lots of people) wanted this. It would've been so awesome ;-;

Square: Buy more copies of FFX

 

[Dunan]

I will pay full price for this one on Day One if it increases the odds that FFXII-IZJS will come out on the Vita, and in its masterful English translation. That definitive version still exists nowhere except on the computers of PCSX2 patchers.

Square-enix isn't interested in anything touched by (Lord) Matsuno or else he would have remained there...Tactics ogre was already a miracle on psp.

 

[Skilletor]

I wonder if they'd be able to fix the horrible voice quality in a HD remake for FF12.

 

[Seda]

I wonder if they'd be able to fix the horrible voice quality in a HD remake for FF12.

That's the most important thing I'd want an HD remake to fix. Besides adding the IZJS content.

 

[Dunan]

I wonder if they'd be able to fix the horrible voice quality in a HD remake for FF12.

Knowing SE (and most video game companies), they probably threw away the high-quality voice samples just to save disk space.

Wasn't it supposed to be a trilogy with each one focusing on a different girl?

 

[YAWN]

Never knew X-2 was so loved.
Will always hate it. It was the early signs of Toriyama's creepy virtual girl obsession that's ruined the franchise. It may have had a nice battle system, but that doesn't stop me from hating the XIII series too.

Some people value gameplay over most other things. X-2 has the best ATB battle system in any FF, and I'd be willing to argue the best battle system in the series.
