[The Mana Legend]

Yeah, fuck you Square.

Will wait until this is less than $20.

 

[Exentryk]

DLC for remasters? Come on.

 

[HardRojo]

Welp, was going to get it Day 1 but I'll just wait till it drops to $20, Kingdom Heart's HD isn't going down this route right?

 

[water1111]

If you guys don't want the DLC, don't buy it then.

 

[Taruranto]

They should also make the HD-Characters models DLC too! Also PAL version should run at 50hz with a DLC for 60hz.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

Disgusting. I thought at least FFX Int. was a given, since it's the PAL version anyway.

 

[Phonomezer]

Almost as bad as Sonic Adventure having the "Sonic Adventure DX Upgrade" DLC.

 

[Auto_aim1]

If you guys don't want the DLC, don't buy it then.

Umm, you do realise how old these games are, right?

 

[cpp_is_king]

The hell are people in this thread talking about? This sounds like it is just going to be additional content that was never in the original game, how is it a bad thing to charge for that?

i think its awesome

 

[Shahed]

The hell are people in this thread talking about? This sounds like it is just going to be additional content that was never in the original game, how is it a bad thing to charge for that?

Because for some of us, it was in the game

 

[ponpo]

Maybe add rumour to the title?

 

[clay_ghost]

I am right lol.



LoL. This sucks

 

[Koeta]

I hope this isn't true, if it is you can count me out.

 

[Kyoufu]

The hell are people in this thread talking about? This sounds like it is just going to be additional content that was never in the original game, how is it a bad thing to charge for that?

i think its awesome

I have this content on my PS2 games already.

 

[cpp_is_king]

Because for some of us, it was in the game

What is this content exactly then? Maybe im missing something. i didnt know there were multiple versions of the original

 

[Meier]

Gross. I thought about buying this at launch but this just means I'll wait for a sale and probably still won't buy the DLC. Fuck off, SE.

 

[Necrovex]

I was planning to get this HD collection on the first day, but if this is true, I'll simply wait for it to hit the bargain bin.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

The hell are people in this thread talking about? This sounds like it is just going to be additional content that was never in the original game, how is it a bad thing to charge for that?

i think its awesome

We had this content in Europe.

 

[Seda]

The hell are people in this thread talking about? This sounds like it is just going to be additional content that was never in the original game, how is it a bad thing to charge for that?

This is content found in the International releases of the PS2 titles. Europe even got the international content for FFX already. (X-2 was never released outside of Japan).

Even though it's 'new' for a lot of people, this is content already made years ago.

FFX international content was in the PAL version of FFX. And DLC for fuckin PS2 remasters is stupid.

 

[Darryl]

this is stuff that was in the old PS2 game for some people. but hell, they should charge us double for being so generous to the rest of us! triple!

 

[LiK]

Wait for the game to be $20 and then buy the DLC afterwards. It'll balance out.

 

[cpp_is_king]

Alright well then i go on record as saying this is lame.

 

[Kyoufu]

Wait for the game to be $20 and them buy the DLC afterwards. It'll balance out.

I'd still feel dirty for purchasing the DLC. This rubs me the wrong way.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Haha nope. Will wait for bomba pricing if this is the case.

Square Enix sure know how to ruin whatever little good will they can gain with gamers these days.

The International Version was released on January 31, 2002, in Japan, and later in Europe (the European release was simply titled "Final Fantasy X"). This updated version of the game has different box art for Japan, and new features, such as an Expert Sphere Grid, which allows for accessing abilities more easily, but less overall stat-growth. New abilities were added to both Standard and Expert Grids.
The Dark Aeons and Penance, all powerful superbosses, were added, as well as many minor changes to dialogue, scenes, the Celestial Weapons' key items (Japan only), characters and armor, weapon customizations, such as Ribbon. The release also includes a bonus disc with behind the scenes making-of features of Final Fantasy X, and a special movie prologue to Final Fantasy X-2.


Sphere Grid in the International version.
The European release has the the Dark Aeons and Penance, as well as the new equipment abilities, but didn't change the name of the Celestial Sigils and Crests. As with previous PAL conversions of Final Fantasy installments, the game has noticeable black borders and a slower running-speed as a result of poor PAL conversion. The black label version includes a bonus DVD with the title Beyond Final Fantasy, which includes various interviews with the game developers, as well as two of the English voice actors. Additionally, it also includes trailers of various Square games, an art gallery, short biographies on Nobuo Uematsu and RIKKI, as well as a music video of RIKKI performing the song "Suteki Da Ne".
Some versions of Final Fantasy X: International have a glitch, whereby if the player goes to the area where they fight Dark Ifrit it is possible to slip past the men blocking the way to Home, and thus, be able to return to the story at the events in Home with Yuna in the party. This glitch can be repeated after the first time it is used.

[akaoni]

The English translation patch for FFX-2 International came out just recently, I guess I'll just play it that way when I feel like it.

 

[Slayer-33]

You know shit has gone bad when PS2 era games start getting DLC lol

 

[Seda]

I asked and got this response, still waiting for additional clarification.

(Ben Bateman is the EU Square Enix community manager)

 

[Metalic Sand]

This was a day 1 buy for me until this if true. They might as well have sold it altogether for $50 :/

 

[Meia]

Well, let's see...


I was planning on buying this for at least $49.99, was not expecting it to be $39.99 to begin with.


Add all the "DLC", and it comes to that anyway.




I'm ok with this.

 

[NinjaCatfish]

FFX international content was in the PAL version of FFX. And DLC for fuckin PS2 remasters is stupid.

Couldn't agree more. DLC where devs have worked on the extra content when they've finished the game but are adding extra stuff, sure, but breaking up a 12 year old game into DLC pieces is just :\

 

[Shahed]

I'd still feel dirty for purchasing the DLC. This rubs me the wrong way.

Yep

 

[Stuart444]

Considering the international content was already announced without a mention of it being DLC, I doubt this. Last Mission...maybe?

This, last mission... maybe but international content? I doubt this very much so.

The Japanese wouldn't like it since their last release had the international content (and after KH HD which had the FM content included and not as DLC), I doubt they would stand for that.

Besides that, they announced the international content would be included and didn't mention DLC at all (don't forget Europe also already had the International content for FFX).

Basically, this doesn't make any sense and VGLeaks hasn't exactly got a great rep with software based 'leaks' so I don't believe this until SE themselves confirm it.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

The price isn't THAT bad concidering but why can't I have this content on the friggin disc? That won't change no matter how cheap I waited for the game to be.

I'd much rather them include the DLC on the disc and price the package at 50$.

 

[Negator]

Wow. Super lame. Waiting for bomba price if true.

 

[dc89]

DLC for a PS2 game? I've seen it all now.

 

[Kikujiro]

Smh S-E, what the hell are you doing?

 

[LiquidSolid]

Suuuuure. Sounds like bullshit.

 

[Eiolon]

Way to turn things around at Square-Enix, Matsuda.

 

[The Mana Legend]

Almost as bad as Sonic Adventure having the "Sonic Adventure DX Upgrade" DLC.

No, it's worse. Sonic Adventure wasn't $40.

 

[RiverBed]

It's sad that one of my favorite developers of all time has only one game I might be interested in this entire fucking generation. It is sadder that that single game is a prettier re-release of more than a decade old game. The pathetic part is breaking up a previous release into DLC and charging almost $50 for nostalgia...

Fuck you SE. Fuck you to hell and back and then some.

 

[badcrumble]

Strongly doubt that this is true. I don't think it'd be that easy to turn the International content into a mere patch, especially stuff like the totally altered Sphere Grids.

VGLeaks doesn't have a great record with software, guys.

 

[wilflare]

This is truly...
"Please be excited.".gif

If true, SE is probably the best troll of 2013 yet.

 

[BHK3]

Sega did the exact same thing when they released the PC version of Sonic Adventure for the consoles but they ripped out the DX stuff and sold it as DLC.

 

[Tizoc]

^SEGA stuff go on sale all the time, so getting it and the DX DLC for cheap is not a big issue. Besides that release wasn't $40 =P.

Cool now I won't buy it.

You were waiting for a reason not to buy it? This could end up being a false rumor and then you flip a 180 and be getting it day 1.

Then again, VGLeaks are usually correct, right?

 

[sixteen-bit]

DLC for remasters? Common.

Is it really that common?

 

[ULTROS!]

Is it really that common?

The only one that did it was Sonic Adventure 2.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Just when I thought SE was doing the right things with this remaster... yeah, screw you SE (if this is true obviously).

 

[demosthenes]

Is it really that common?

He was saying commmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmme on I think.

Because, no, it is not common.
