I know one critic claiming Puppeteer was too British. Does that count?

When I think of European games, first thing that comes to mind is adventure games like The Longest Journey and Syberia. I know American studios have a long history with that genre but Europeans seem to have kept with it longer.
I'd love FFXII HD. Tried it on an emulator, but it had these glitchy flickering shadows that I couldn't get rid of even after trying lots of settings. Really distracting.

Oh my, X, X-2 and XII on my VITA in HD, with trophies? Too good to be true.... why does he tease us so, I mean, we still don;t even have a realease date, or a confirmation of a physical release of X and X-2..
Dude, have you been paying attention to SE? This cannot and will not be done. Even if they tried, it would be 2016 at least...

how about Vaan Hero, you play xylophone and washboard on Vaan's six pack to popular contemporary pop music from the 90s.
Uh, nope. The disc version of FFIV works just fine in the PS3, any model.

And Zodiac Job System... I want it, so much... Please do this!
If you chose to do so. I wonder why I always hear people talk about this game having it, but DA:O has pretty much the same thing (except vastly inferior) and no one ever complains. If you've played enough RPGs in the past with companion AI, you'll know why Gambits/Tactics are awesome.
1st post gets it.

Not sure I'd buy a remaster since I recently imported the International version. Patch + PCSX2 works well enough for me. Maybe on PS3/PS4/PC/WiiU and if they make further improvements than just porting. Like making each area seemless.

It's put up or shut up for current vita owners. Buy those HD ports and they'll make more. I wonder if P4G numbers (300k in japan) is enough for them. Probably not.

I would love to see XII on Vita. Just bought one recently after the price drop and eagerly look forward to playing X again soon!

I agree. I have always wondered how people can complain about " NO GAMEZ! " and then when a great game hits, the sale through is maybe 5% of the install base.
Doesn't make sense.
Is there a million seller on the Vita yet?

I'm still debating on which to get first: 360, VITA, or Wii U, but I plan on getting X HD for Vita. Not X-2 though, they can keep that piece of crap.

I bought my DS copy of Chrono Trigger, I bought it on the Wii VC and I bought it on PSN but do we have a new Chrono game coming? No! Also I bought Chrono Cross on the PS1 (new from Amazon) and I bought it on PSN.
I hate this "buy it if you want more" crap.
Wow, a Kitase interview that's actually really interesting! It feels like it's been awhile.
As excited as I am for X/X-2 HD, I think XII demands a remastering much more. I've actually been tempted to go through it again using component cables this time, but an HD remaster that happens to also be the IZJS edition sounds amazing.

I'm going to buy just FFX for Vita although I didn't like FFX a lot back then. I missed the world map coming out of the Psone FFs, thought that the story ended up being disappointing once the whole
thing was uncovered and the game hasn't a strong bad guy to keep things exciting. Seymour is a weak character and Sin doesn't even count.
But after 12 years it's good to enjoy the good moments of the game (fortunately there are many) again with better graphics and the great score as well. Also playing other old games now that I'm older I've noticed that often I can appreciate certaing things much more, actually I notice a lot of things and small details that previously I just didn't care about. So I'm curious to experience the game again.
With that being said I want FFXII HD much more than FFX
I really hope it happens after X.
it's a dream

I really hope it happens after X.FFX HD should have been out ages ago. There's no excuse really - they should have outsourced it to Hexadrive and we'd likely have seen it by now. FF12 should already been announced as well. These are PS2 remasters we're talking about, not full-fledged new games. There's no excuse as to why FFX HD took longer than the original PS2 game to realize. None.

If they make an HD port of XII then, truly, all will be forgotten. Especially those mobile and social games.
Do it, Square Enix, and redeem yourself!

I remember hyping FFXII to heavens, like "this is going to be my favorite RPG of all time."
The first part of the game is fantastic, I couldn't stop playing it. But then the second and final part is just awful, huge dungeons, not many story sequences... Balthier becoming a stupid character out of nowhere didn't help either.
Fran slayed from beginning to end though.

Although not an RPG, Lionhead's Black and White, and earlier Bullfrog games all had a distinctly European game design vibe to them too. There were a number of early to mid-90's European rpgs that also had a very European feel to them, although I can't remember the names right now.
Aside from art style, or bugs, for me most European games are most identifiable with being totally unapologetic in leading the player character to failure. At least in moderately older European games, there doesn't seem to be much of a resistance to letting you die or end up in an unwinnable set of circumstances often. And there's often no fanfare or hand-holding about them (Fable being a big exception to that, obviously). So I would say the European style of game associates some value to the experience of failing and general misery.
This was a much more common feeling in games from 20 years ago than it is today. Perhaps due to the commercial realities of game development, European and North American development have converged somewhat on a type of game experience where player failure is to be avoided at all costs. That's unfortunate.

I see there was a kind of nod there to emulation. Final Fantasy VII and VIII have PC versions, but IX doesn't. Nor does X, but it does require a moderately powerful PC to run the games via emulator. Mostly, a decent CPU. Pretty much any computer worthy of running Final Fantasy XIV would be good for Final Fantasy X. Final Fantasy X-2 is actually a little more demanding than Final Fantasy XIV on PCSX2 for flawless gameplay, though.
He also stressed that Square Enix games are a multiple system franchise. And yet, the remakes are only coming to Sony system. The Wii U may not be a popular system, but the 3DS is. What is stopping them from releasing the game on on the 3DS or Wii U? The Wii U is at least more popular than the PS Vita.
I would really like it if Square Enix would release these games for Nintendo system and the PC. With emulators, the games would be demanding. But even in HD, I think that even some modern, low end laptops wouldn't have a problem loading the game in max settings. In fact, the options of the PC make a lot of the point of an HD remake unnecessary outside of assets. You can play the game at low or high settings.
And the if the PlayStation 3 can run the HD version of this game just fine, there's no reason the Wii U wouldn't be able to. And I know that the 3DS is weaker than the Vita, but it should at least have no problems running the game. The 3DS had no problems running Tales of the Abyss, which pushed the hardware of the PlayStation 2.
I don't understand their exclusivity to Sony hardware for this game. Logically, it should seem like, as they're doing more than just a port, that the best use of assets would be to put them on multiple systems.

I'd play FFXII Zodiac for the ps3. Bundle it with FF Tactics HD while you're at it.

So, how many copies of FFX-X2 HD do we have to buy to get FFXII on Vita/PS3-4?

I seriously can't believe this may happen.
I will buy the fuck outta FFX if it helps this get made, and I don't even care for X.

Great to hear that Square's designers are still hot on Vita, I was worried when there was talk that Vita was what delayed the FFX/FFX-2 ports for so long, and got doubly-worried when the Kingdom Hearts HD remix came out only on PS3. (They also put nothing behind the Vita at TGS... although unless you have a Japanese phone plan, this year wasn't a great Square Enix TGS for any platform.)
People are still clinging to that utopia ?

My experience of the game was that you could let it play itself when fighting enemies significantly weaker than your party, but you had to take a more active role with bosses and enemies in areas you're exploring for the first time. Maybe it's different if you grind a lot and end up overleved or something, but I was never bored with the game.
