Is this like, an actual big ol' remake? Surely it's not just a HD port?

hahhahahahaaha imreadingthiswrongright
This is an actual remake not just a port like most PS2 Ports
I don't get it...
And their smartphone title Final Fantasy Brigade.
1st Production Department doesn't mean the game is internal or entirely internal. It just means that Kitase or someone who is a 1stPD producer is producing the game. Theeratahtyme is also a 1stPD game, and on the 1stPD twitter they are also promoting the FF Brigade mobile game, which is from a 1stPD producer as well. Neither game is internal. The 3rd Birthday was also considered a 1stPD game (in fact, the 1stPD Twitter account is just a renamed T3B Twitter account), but it was programmed by Hexadrive.

Wait, when it was announced I thought it was "well into" development?

Why does Square-Enix keep announcing games they haven't even started yet? I know it's just an HD port (presumably) so it shouldn't take too long, but you'd think they'd be wanting to avoid more Versus type situations.

Seems like they're still doing the whole revealing first and actually making the shit afterwards
you'restilldoingitwrongSE
You don't know how much of a remake it is though. They've never said. It could very well end up like the ICO Collection or the MGS Collection.
I doubt they'll remake the game. I suspect it'll be half/half where they'll upres most of it, and redo anything that looks really ugly or something.
Oh, that's a really useless moniker then. I'll edit the "internal" part of my post out.
I meant it in a way it won't be a so-so outsourced remake, because I totally want this, FFX is one of my favorites FF unlike for many and I want it to be done the right way. It came out wrong for this circumstances, I admit.
So it is really a remake? I was still thinking it was just a ps2 HD port.

At this rate, by the time we reach 2013 the development will have reached the point where Tidus first goes to the flooded Temple.

eugh, fucking hell
he should just gtfo until they're confident enough to release a demo for it, they been dribbling media out for years and it's really infuriating now
And now they say the stuff they did reveal (that ingame scene with Noctis and Stella) has been changed to a prerendered one? lol.

I'm glad they announced the game so far ahead of time...
If it was simply an HD port, I'd doubt the first production department would be the primary handler.
There's gotta be more to it, right?
okay that clarifies a bit.

Perhaps they don't even know!
Seriously, they might not actually know. Wouldn't be shocked after hearing about FFXIII's development.
It is. That doesn't mean it's not a 1stPD game.
Kojima Productions was personally in charge of the MGS Collection as well, even though Blue Point developed MGS2 and MGS3. It was all supervised by KojiPro. They are also supervising the ZoE HD Collection. Team ICO and Ueda supervised the Ico Collection too, requesting certain specific improvements. Not surprising at all.
I wonder how many Kingdom Hearts games will be out before Versus XIII:
Coded/Re: Coded
358/2 Days
Birth By Sleep
Dream Drop Distance
Maybe 1 or 2 more?

they're stalling and trying to make it sound like they are beginning work on some magnificent endeavor. like a magician that lost his bunny and is trying to kill some time by rambling on about how for his next trick he'll need everyone to blah blah blah.
Nobody knows if it's an upscale, a port, or a remake. Some have been saying re-release, HD master, etc.
There are zero details on what exactly it is, and for what they've said, how much that term applies to any of the aspects of the game when they make the HD version of it and the lower resolution (960 x 544) version Vita version.
They're not stalling at all. You just think it's a bigger deal than it is because someone made a thread about it on NeoGAF. This was just a one line signing off comment at the end of a longer interview in the magazine which mostly talks about KH3D and VersusXIII. There is no implication of a "magnificent endeavor" here, other than the imagined one you have.
I vaguely recall hearing about a Final Fantasy collection that would collect X and XII in HD.
Was this a rumor, or is XII going to get an update? I only ever put about ten hours into it, but I loved it to death and for whatever reason never went back into it. I'd be willing to, but if an HD version is coming out, I'll wait. Plus there's the chance that they'll include all the International Version stuff that is so well-revered.

Rumor, but FFX HD did get confirmed in some capacity at a press conference last year. Zero things have been said at all about XII, and I doubt it will happen any time soon. I'd just play XII now.

Remake or port, being able to play this on my Vita is something I can't pass up. I just hope they at least use the international version. >.>

when SE announces games these days I just go ahead and assume it's the very same day they come up with the idea.
and here's a quote from an interview from 2d-x.com about XIIIVersus that made me lol
I agree with this assessment. I think it is likely that they're doing a HD port, but they will also try to ensure that it is as high quality as possible. Which means they will have to remaster the FMVs and other pre-rendered elements, probably improve all the textures, and make the game true widescreen. It'll probably have a higher budget than normal, but they'll also be selling one game for full price probably.
