Nope. Maybe a track or two but that's it. I counted 10 or so out of 86 from XIII-2 that were any good. Some of those were variations of the same theme at that.
Given the development time, I could definitely see X-2 being remastered as well. The June release date seems way off though.

What about June of 2014?

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Wouldn't mind getting a remastered version of X-2, as well. As long as they do a good job. I would like these re-releases to be better than the PS2 versions, without question. I don't think that's asking too much of Square, is it?
Unless we get X-2, too.
I should replay X-2 someday. I don't remember much about the battle system. I need to be reminded why people love it so much.
X-2 didn't have as much prerendered stuff as X, did it? That would certainly help speed up development of a X-2 remaster.
That's where I'm at too, yeah. Especially given SCEA's two game rule. They're not gonna remaster X and leave it in Japan and ditto for just releasing it as a download.

Reverse those numbers and you'll be closer, give or take a few years.
I loved both XIII and XIII-2 OST (aside from a few missteps, Chocobo Rodeo - blergh) so you know, different strokes.

June, 4102? That doesn't even look like a recognizable year
The world will actually resemble Gran Pulse by then. With Square Enix as Cocoon.

Doubtful. Humans of this earth aren't that stupid as the ones in XIII series.
I enjoyed the combat for X-2 despite the crap it gets. I'm excited.

I hope Square has a big showing at E3 this year.
With the new Final Fantasy in the works, as well as Kingdom Hearts and FFX HD due for release (hopefully) this year, I can imagine them at the Sony Conference showing off some good stuff and giving us release dates on games finally. Like, you know, this and XIV PS3.

....And what's wrong with "Tee-dus"??
Name has so much swag.

At least we won't get another Eidos-fest like last year's E3 was.
I can imagine SE actually doing a short montage of what games to expect from them in the future honestly. And the games that have come out so far.
LMAO

It will be interesting to see but I'm going in with no expectations this time with Square at E3.
I think we pretty much all silently rent conned the name to "Ty-dus"
So, less good games on display?
;b

True enough. I enjoy some of Eidos stuff, but I hear Square and think Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, even The Bouncer... not Sleeping Dogs.
They'll have at least one major announcement. I'm certain at this point it's a PS4 exclusive Final Fantasy / Kingdom Hearts.

I would want FF12 before X-2. 10 and 12 are my two favorite FFs.
Or will we? Maybe they'll show all the Eidos stuff on the floor and save all the real Square Enix stuff for the mega theater!
The gameplay is exactly the same in the International version.

I agree 100% with this. Don't really get what everyone sees in FFXs soundtrack. The only really memorable songs were Zanarkand, Someday The Dream Will End, Otherworld and Fight With Seymour.
Meanwhile FFXII has one of my all time favorite soundtracks, probably second favorite in the main series FF games.
E3 isn't open to the public anyway, so that wouldn't bother me.
Unless they embargo the mega theater, like they used to do.

Nope. Well, I would be guilty, but I remember reading online a quote from a dev stating that it was "Tee" and not "Ty".
Otherwise, yep.

Lawd, it's so weird seeing this lingo outside of our special playpen ;-p
Upward and onward - FFX/X-2 double pack, and then FFXII/Valkyrie Profile 2 double pack to complete the triumvirate of PS2 Square games (DQ8 excepted) people actually care about.
No offense to Kingdom Hearts and Drakengard, but really now.
Oh, that is the official pronunciation of course, I just figure most people disregard it. A character in KH2 pronounces his name "Ty-dus" at one point, also. I remember people hearing that and wondering if Square NA was subliminally admitting they messed up.

Well, Teeda is actually a real word, but since nobody in America knows Okinawan, it just makes sense for them to go with "tide."

Actually it means "sun."
Maybe as the numbers keep increasing, the social will outnumber the anti-social, and the meetup will finally happen!
<-- anti-social
im not even gonna but LR because im tired of XIII they made 3 games for it they should bring back FFX, and make the farplanes go crazy and the dead return

Oh man. Watching that glitch video.
Remember when Final Fantasy had those menu sounds?
When it had the fanfare?
When Moogles made sound effects rather than actually saying "Kupo"?
Square-Enix really has no idea what it's doing for me right now.
Even if Versus XIII is good and not a ridiculous, non-sensical Nomura-fest, it still is going to most likely have the Kingdom Hearts-inspired gameplay, which for me has always been a mindless button masher, even in the likes of Birth by Sleep.
Regarding XII's music versus X's, while XII's music is of course fantastic, a lot of the great songs are from past Ivalice games, and frankly, the way the unfinished story fell flat made many of the new fantastic tunes a lot less memorable. And of course, Uematsu is just so much more melodic and great and creating songs that weave their way through the soundtrack.
XIII's soundtrack consisted basically of "Blinded by Light" for me. I find Hamauzu very good, but unfortunately forgettable.

As much as I love FFX-2, and I love me some X-2! If Square re-masters X-2 and I not FF12 international, I will rage so fucking hard.

Hopefully they still have the source files and they can use the 3D versions, instead of just upscaling them. That's probably part of what's taking so long with the game.
Honestly I know everyone differ in opinion, but for some reason I can't take this one seriously, lol. Don't make me start posting amazing FFX tracks because FFXII will lose that battle easily.
Almost nothing in FFXII was that memorable and it wasn't melodic at all. Much different style of music.
Get the PS3 version...
You shouldn't be pronouncing the final "S", then.
