That's pretty much what I'm expecting too. If it is just that, and 60fps, I'd be very pleased.

I consider this good news as I dont want a remake I just want the FFX that I know and love but with HD graphics, 60fps and redone cutscene's with 7.1 audio.
Im sure they will do more than just bump up the resolution but as long as my little list of requests are met I shal be a happy man.

This is one of the first things I've seen that really interests me in a PS3/Vita. I loved FFX, despite never having finished the game and having the end spoiled.

I hope they don't touch the battle system.

It's an HD port of a PS2 game.
Nah, Square is cheap. FFV and FFVI with the same art style of FFIV complete would be cheaper and much, much better.
I was hoping they would fix more than that. The narrative and characters are the most of my concern.
Yeah. FFX is my least favourite Final Fantasy, but I'd get it for the battle system alone.

Late on this, but can anyone enlighten me as to why the international version of XII is the overwhelmingly better one?

Worse than XIII and XIV?
Fix Blitzball? FIX BLITZBALL?! BITCH PLEASE.
Blitzball took up so so many hours from me because of the addiction to it. Its awkward SRPG gameplay was actually part of the charm. I'd spend hours upon hours playing through seasons, even if I had all the important items from competitions for my characters (like Overdrives for Wakka).
Man when this remaster comes out, I will not be playing another game for quite some time, I'm sure.

At breakfast today I asked my wife if it made me a terrible person that I kind of wanted to buy an HD remaster of FFX if it included the International Sphere Grid and she was all "...don't be stupid. Of COURSE we would buy that."
The International version replaces the sameness-inducing, somewhat underdeveloped License Board with a class-based one that ensures your characters will all be distinct, plus it includes a few new gambits and abilities and a wide range of balance fixes and general tune-ups by the always-amazing Itou.

This is exactly what I'd want for FFVII. I loaded it up today on my ps3 for the first time to see how it looked and I was thinking, man, I'd love for them to keep the proportions, just with HD graphics. Maybe touch up stuff here and there and make the polygons a little more detailed, but not a full-blown remake or anything.
That said, I'm really interested to see how FFX is going to be. I'll probably pick it up. I also wonder why they chose X specifically. I find that to be an odd choice. It's not that I dislike the game, but I like VII and XII more. I also think both of those games would be more desired for a remake as well.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Nope.
That's why I mentioned they had a horrible internet connection. Didn't you notice all the invisible stuff they were bumping into? (that hadn't loaded in yet because of lag)
If they ever port XII, I hope they add the ability to change jobs. I played a bit of XII: International a few days ago and the License Boards for the jobs seem pretty small. It looks like it wouldn't take too long to max out the jobs. Being able to change jobs would fix that.
Never played XIV (can't really experience the worse now that it got a lot of updates). I enjoyed XIII more than X though.
It's personal preference I s'ppose.

You mean they can make a HD Remaster without getting improved graphic compared to the original Low Res version?
Best story? No way. One of the weaker stories in FFdom.
Battle system was good. Character progression was very good.
FF VIII had the best summons. FF X's were ok.
I'm not looking to buy it.

The original game doesn't look that good, when you just upscale it. It definitely needs some tweaking, besides the 16:9 support.

I think it really has the best FF story. Excellently paced as well and well done the whole way through. Only 6 comes close, but I enjoy the main cast more then the main cast of VI, so that tips the balance. That and I think X's world is far more visually interesting. VI is a lot of caves, it's kind of boring.

I actually liked the license board. Sounds more like an improvement to the system than a change though. Thanks for the info.

I like the license board concept as well, but it's incredibly easy to max out every character on it once you get a bit into the game. If they had made the points harder to come by it would have been a bit better. From what I heard though, I like the changes they made in the Int. version and would love to try it out.

Wait, what, the IZ version forces shitty classes on the player? Fuck that, gimme vanilla FF XII, SE. Unless the IZ version lets you use the regular boards instead.

FFX has in common with FF6 and FF7 (but very much not FF8, FF9, or FF13) a storyline actually written with some basic command of narrative vocabulary: it has characters who each serve a purpose within the story (and whose interactions with one another are grounded in a plausible shared history); it has a story built on actual rhythmic beats, with a natural three-act structure and a traditional climax, without any shaggy-dog meandering nonsense; its plot is built around a coherent set of narrative themes, which are established upfront and then continuously explored throughout the story. I honestly think all of that is much more relevant than the sort of "LOL tidus is whiny!!!" critique people sometimes toss at it.
It's certainly true that the game is full of incomprehensible hippy-dippy nonsense, but, like, that's Final Fantasy, dog.
You have to use the jobs in the International version, but they aren't set for each character. The first time you try to use the License Board for each character, the game lets you choose a job for them. There are 12 jobs you can choose from and after you select a job for a character, you can't change it.

No thanks. I want to be able to switch them around like in the regular version, I don't want the game to lock them to specific jobs.
They lost me at
"My dad is a flying whale?"
I enjoyed the game more when I was locked to specific jobs.

Well, like I said, insane fantasy nonsense is a trademark of the series. The concept isn't really that weird; the idea of
a monster that you can only defeat by becoming its successor
Tidus and Jecht are dream-people summoned from a memory of a long-lost civilization
What are the chances of a FFXII remaster?
I hope very, very much that both X-2 and XII will follow X's lead if it sells well enough.
That still won't be as bad as collecting 10 of every monster for the arena.

I wasn't aware of that. That kind of sucks, since you could potentially screw yourself over by not picking the right jobs, if the game isn't balanced right.

I hope they remove Lulu Lightning dodging. Or at least lessened to 50 or something.
That's part of the reason I hope any port of XII: International has a feature that lets you change jobs.
That would certainly be an upgrade. The battle models out of fights were jarringly low detail. Low res textures, low poly counts, no lip syncing etc.
What are the chances of a FFXII remaster?
Depends on the chances of Minagawa and Itou still being alive when they want to make that decision I guess.
I agree that 10 has a great story and I would put it into the top 2 but I would put FFVI in front of it, I just think FFVI has a more memorable story but both are top notch.
I'm on board for this, actually.
Yep. Of course it has its issues but they dont even come close to approaching some of the narrative flaws in other FF games, forgotten orphanage past in FF8 and "disrupt the souls" garbage in FF9 in particular. As well as being competently told, the storyline in FFX even incorporates allegorical aspects into the story that aren't completely patronizing. This truly is a feat for a final fantasy game.I really enjoyed Spira as a setting and seem to be alone in quite liking the "recurring natural disaster" aspect that Sin brought to the table. Towards the beginning of the game you really do buy into Spira as a pretty hopeless place and can understand how a religion like Yevon could exploit that and become so powerful.
