2013 release is confirmed.

Maybe the Thread title should be changed? With 2013 release, international editions. I posted my title before the blog posts with more information.

Releasing a high profile exclusive for the PS3 well after the release of the PS4 seems silly given the lack of BC. I'd be surprised if they don't try and get it out before the end of the year.

unless there is a platform change or addition
it's something they'll have to face eventually with 2.5 and maybe/hopefully xii down the road anyway

And it means that the team who did the remastering is now available to start on XII IZJS HD...

not if they're working on this work of art instead

 

[chaostrophy]

Looks nice! I loved FFX but haven't replayed it in a while...and my BC PS3 just died taking my save of the PS2 version with it, so good timing on the new version! Not as much of a fan of FFX-2, but HD FFX is well worth $40 by itself, so it's nice that they're pretty much throwing it in for free. And it means that the team who did the remastering is now available to start on XII IZJS HD...

 

[Supermanisdead]

Lmao, the hate is blinding some people here. This game looks good but NO WAY does it look as good or better than 13 and 13-2.

 

[Kagari]

How come you didn't go? Don't you go to all these events? And yeah, we should be able to see it.

Wasn't worth the cost - flight would have been more than E3 for way less content.

 

[Exentryk]

Like all Square Enix NA branch streams of late.

Aren't they given enough funds to do it properly or something?

 

[Aurizen]

(lol Convetion)

but FF HD was shown though was it?

 

[Seda]

but FF HD was shown though was it?

Yes. They showed: the screens, confirmed a 2013 release, showed some sort of trailer to the audience (but it seemed short to me, the blackout was brief).

 

[Tidesofblood]

Ps3 comes with both games but do you guys think it will be better to buy them each for VITA, my premise is that it will look loads better on the PS VITA? Thoughts?

 

[Giolon]

Is there any information about whether saves can be transferred from PS3 to Vita and vice versa?

 

[Levyne]

Buy it for whichever you want?

I thought that was for Japan. This is NA too?

 

[jett]

Ah they even re-rendered the CG!

*looks at GOW HD* In yo face Sony, in yo face.

 

[Seda]

I thought that was for Japan. This is NA too?

Yes, both blog posts state 'this year'. I bolded it in the OP and everything.

 

[Dick Justice]

Just realised, that shot of the whole party shows that the cutscenes will still mix and match gameplay and cutscene character models -_-

 

[RPGCrazied]

Well woot, hopefully by Christmas. I don't see this and KH HD both in the fall, that would be too good to be true.

 

[Seda]

What if the trailer on Monday reveals a worldwide release in June, confirming those rumors.

 

[Exentryk]

What if the trailer on Monday reveals a worldwide release in June, confirming those rumors.

But duckroll said it was impossible

 

[Vashetti]

not if they're working on this work of art instead

I wouldn't mind Dirge Of Cerberus HD.

Only after FF XII IZJS HD though.

 

[Exentryk]

Also, we might get X HD before KH HD

 

[Kagari]

It's definitely a 2013 release. I expect at least 6 months lead time from announcement.

 

[Seda]

But duckroll said it was impossible

I mean, FFXIV is probably late summer, Lightning Returns is early Fall (I think), KH is Fall as well...

I guess a part of me thinks if they want to spread out releases, this would be early Summer (or of course, something like December 2013).

 

[RPGCrazied]

What if the trailer on Monday reveals a worldwide release in June, confirming those rumors.

I'd die. Lol. My birthday is in July, and rumors are Xillia is releasing July 2nd(my birthday!) That's so awesome gaming in 2 months.

 

[genjiZERO]

Since it's the International Version the VAing will be in English? I wonder if you can get it was Japanese VAing.

 

[raven777]

It's definitely a 2013 release. I expect at least 6 months lead time from announcement.

any chance this might actually come out before KH HD 1.5 in the US?

 

[jett]

If they add some SSAO and self-shadowing it would make a world of difference. It's really only a few lighting tweaks away from almost looking current-gen.

 

[jiggle]

I wouldn't mind Dirge Of Cerberus HD.

Only after FF XII IZJS HD though.

i'd be down for that only because crisis core will probably come with it

 

[kayos90]

I think summer is the optimal time for release but as duckroll and Kagari stated it will be later on the year. I predict sept-November is when all these things will release.

 

[Reveirg]

It's definitely a 2013 release. I expect at least 6 months lead time from announcement.

But at this point, won't A Realm Reborn, FFX|X-2 HD, KH 1.5 Remix and Lightning Returns all release within a 3-4 months time frame? Doesn't seem like the best marketing move.

 

[MrDenny]

Just realised, that shot of the whole party shows that the cutscenes will still mix and match gameplay and cutscene character models -_-

Rikku's model doesn't look like it got updated in this scene.
Hopefully it's just because she's in the back.

 

[Vashetti]

i'd be down for that only because crisis core will probably come with it

Oh my god.

You've planted the seed.

I totally forgot about Crisis Core.

Birth By Sleep will be in KH 2.5.

The only one left would be Crisis Core.

 

[Reveirg]

i'd be down for that only because crisis core will probably come with it

Crisis Core / Dirge of Cerberus bundle would make sense (and I'd buy it day one).

But what would they bundle with FFXII?

 

[kayos90]

But at this point, won't A Realm Reborn, FFX|X-2 HD, KH 1.5 Remix and Lightning Returns all release within a 3-4 months time frame? Doesn't seem like the best marketing move.

They'll all be releasing roughly one month apart at the minimum which is fine for SE.

 

[Jinfash]

Did the international releases contain voiced story elements? If so are they going to reach out to the same english VAs?

 

[RPGCrazied]

I hope this is Summer sometime.

 

[Seda]

But what would they bundle with FFXII?

Revenant Wings HD-ified.

Or Tactics HD-ified, similar to iPhone enhancements.

 

[jett]

Crisis Core / Dirge of Cerberus bundle would make sense (and I'd buy it day one).

But what would they bundle with FFXII?

Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions HD.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I really think they need to start finding ways to update 7, 8 and 9. After XII HD of course.

 

[LuuKyK]

But at this point, won't A Realm Reborn, FFX|X-2 HD, KH 1.5 Remix and Lightning Returns all release within a 3-4 months time frame? Doesn't seem like the best marketing move.

And there is yet Tales of Xillia. What a magnificent end of the year it will be for RPG fans. bow.gif

It is so far away though. :/

 

[Seven Force]

Revenant Wings HD-ified.

Or Tactics HD-ified, similar to iPhone enhancements.

Tactics HD seems like it'd be easier for them to do in a relatively short time frame.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

Rikku's model doesn't look like it got updated in this scene.
Hopefully it's just because she's in the back.

Hers may not be finished yet. Noticed how shes not really front and center in any of the released shots yet.

 

[Exentryk]

I mean, FFXIV is probably late summer, Lightning Returns is early Fall (I think), KH is Fall as well...

I guess a part of me thinks if they want to spread out releases, this would be early Summer (or of course, something like December 2013).

Hmm...
XIV - July
XHD - Aug
LR - Sept
KHHD - Oct+
Versus - Mar 14

 

[Reveirg]

I'd die. Lol. My birthday is in July, and rumors are Xillia is releasing July 2nd(my birthday!) That's so awesome gaming in 2 months.

Sorry a bit off-topic but... where does that July 2nd rumor come from?

 

[cosmicblizzard]

You can hate on Square all you want, but they're definitely putting more effort into a remaster than anyone else.

 

[Dragon1893]

Ah they even re-rendered the CG!

*looks at GOW HD* In yo face Sony, in yo face.

They did remaster the cutscenes for the origins collections though.

But yeah, can't wait to see X's cutscenes in 1080p, should look great.

 

[Seda]

Tactics HD seems like it'd be easier for them to do in a relatively short time frame.

First option wasn't entirely serious lol

 

[RPGCrazied]

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/616012-tales-of-xillia/65737943

Came from IGN, I know its to good to be true, but I can dream.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Team Summer Believe!
It's just a perfect fit.

 

[Ravage]

Ninokuni, Atelier Ayesha, Tales of Xillia, FFX/X-2 HD, KH1.5 ... 2013 is shaping up to be an amazing year for JRPG fans.

edit: lol can't believe i missed FFXIV:RR and LR.

 

[Seda]

Sorry a bit off-topic but... where does that July 2nd rumor [for Tales of Xillia] come from?

Gamestop listings. Obviously it could be placeholder or retailer speculation.
