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.

Yeah but I don't think they announced it as the DX content before hand (like they have with FFX/X-2) nor did they have a previous track record which SE now does (with KH1.5 HD being the FM versions)

This is just very unlikely to be true, the Last Mission stuff is the only bit I can see being true because as I found out in another thread, it was basically a separate not part of the main game addition.

 

[Negator]

Thinking about it, there is only one scenario where I would actually be okay with this:

Japanese VA is part of the DLC.

 

[Darryl]

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.

it'd explain what took them forever to release it. they could've been passing time till it was the best moment to release it for sales momentum and kept themselves busy in the free time.

 

[Seda]

 

[Exentryk]

Yeah sorry... I meant "come on" >_>

 

[Stuart444]

So I take from that, he hasn't heard this 'rumour' til now but will look into it. Hopefully then he can shoot it down

 

[Aeana]

This doesn't line up with what I've heard personally. Not that it's out of the realm of possibility that plans have changed, but it seems unlikely.

 

[Flamfas]

This is absolutely awful

 

[Kyari]

If true that is super bull. Europe got all of that stuff as standard with the PS2 version.

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

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

yes, pretty much. And considering KH1.5 comes with the FM content out of the box, I guess this rumour is false. But I'm not sure about the Last Mission, though.

 

[Leckan]

Dat CEO effect?

 

[Shahed]

There are times when I think having a Twitter account would be useful. Please let this not be true!

 

[akaoni]

Dat CEO effect?

 

[storafötter]

If they charge me to play something I already had on my pal version I will not even buy their game. I have a US Vita now and I don't want to charge extra for something that was given in the PAL version for free along with terrible boarders.

 

[Kouriozan]

Whut? But my PAL version got the international content for FF X!
Truly ashamed by Square Enix if this is true.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Hopefully he responds again. If not, I'll assume it's true and Square really is fucking crazy.

 

[ULTROS!]

Dat CEO effect?

Remnants of Yoichi Wada ( ._ .)

 

[flatearthpandas]

I was considering buying this when they announced X-2, but fuck that if this is true.

I'm almost surprised that I'm surprised though; this makes so much sense after XIII-2.

 

[badcrumble]

This doesn't line up with what I've heard personally. Not that it's out of the realm of possibility that plans have changed, but it seems unlikely.

This is something they'd have to plan for since rather early in the project, I think, since they'd need to have a functioning patch process *and* builds of the game that work with and without the International content.

The most plausible scenario is that we're getting both International versions out of the box and no Last Mission at all, even as DLC.

 

[Zoe]

Thinking about it, there is only one scenario where I would actually be okay with this:

Japanese VA is part of the DLC.

I can't see that happening, especially since some of the FMV in X-2 was changed to accommodate the voicing differences.

 

[Replicant]

The DLC comes with Japanese language pack? PLEASE???

 

[Earthpainting]

This would be a bad move on their part. The pack would still have good value even if it were true, but as a PAL territory customer this would sting.

 

[teiresias]

Haha. Square Enix is such a horrendously incompetent company. If this crap is true they deserve to sell absolutely zero copies of this. It's completely deplorable.

 

[coldfoot]

Why are they remastering X/X-2 and not XII? Are they nuts?

 

[nikos]

Are people seriously upset about this? The total price still comes to $52.96, which is less than the retail price of most PS3 games. I understand this is a re-release but, for the amount of content you're getting in both games, it's more than worth it.

 

[kittens]

Fuck that, wow. Wow. Ugh.

 

[Necrovex]

Why are they remastering X/X-2 and not XII? Are they nuts?

I believe X is the most popular Final Fantasy in Japan (through constant polls). SE remastering X-2 still shocks me. XII will probably be remastered in time.

 

[ULTROS!]

Why are they remastering X/X-2 and not XII? Are they nuts?

Coz they're both more popular than XII critically and commercially?

 

[MetatronM]

This is corporate speak for "yes, it is DLC."

 

[badcrumble]

Coz they're both more popular than XII critically and commercially?

X? yes. X-2? No.

The answer is that they are very likely remastering XII eventually. They are remastering FFX/X-2 first because they came out first. It's not an either/or thing.

 

[coldfoot]

Coz they're both more popular than XII critically and commercially?

Comparing review scores and sales from 2001 vs. 2006 is not fair. The tastes of today's consumers are closer to those in 2006 (less time has passed), and I believe they'd enjoy FFXII more and FFX would feel too much old school for the mass public.

 

[ZeroCDR]

Reminds me of the "DLC" for Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. I hate this.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

How did we get into a FFX vs. FFXII battle?

 

[Levyne]

They're just remastering them in release order...

uh..

I'm very surprised I actually had to post that

 

[Seda]

How did we get into a FFX vs. FFXII battle?

It's the natural way of the world.

 

[daveo42]

I hope this isn't the case and everything's included in the retail release. Having to pay extra for the international version DLCs after I already own both retail versions of FFX and X-2 is salt in the wound. SE should have just said the HD collection was going to be $50-60 from the start if there were plans on this happening.

 

[Elginer]

If true, eat shit Squeenix.

Yes, they do it seems.

 

[Shahed]

It's the natural way of the world.

FFXIII is better than both because of Farron Goddess

 

[jWILL253]

Seems like Square could find a way to ruin a trip to Disneyland...

 

[akidnamededdy]

I think they still poll pretty regularly about which game/character is peoples' favorite, though.

On-topic: that's some bullshit. I knew the US getting both international versions was too good to be true.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

I, for one, am for the bankruptcy and total dissolution of Square Enix.

 

[chickdigger802]

eh... $5 each... There are worst things to be mad over these days. what does the 5 bucks get you though?

 

[jimmypython]

I don't know what to say.............

Oh, on topic

fuck you se*

*if true

 

[Squire]

"Better than P4G already!!"

Not in this lifetime. Not even remotely.

 

[Seda]

no you have opened the portal

 

[Magicpaint]

:\

This better not be true.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Watch the International Content DLC only be available in Japan just to further fuck over those of us here in the US.

 

[legacyzero]

But what about the Vita versions?
