FINAL FANTASY X/X 2 HD Remaster for PS4?

Would make sense. Though the PS3 one was already in 1080p and an increased framerate isn't going to do shit for games like those(Though I doubt they'd even bother with that anyway) so I wonder where the incentive is supposed to be when they charge full price for it again.

Good for folks who missed out I guess?

It's a good question then if Type-0 HD would sell more than a 12 HD.

With that XV demo? It's not even a wonder.

X may as well stay at 30, but I actually would love X-2 at 60.

Type Zero is certainly lower quality and would sell less than FFXII by itself but the guy who made the game is now also the director of FFXV, he pushed for it and he's also using a FFXV demo to sell it anyway...and almost at full price.
Internal politics have a big role in these decisions, it's not just about sales.
FFXII is the son's of nobody within the company :/
 
No, I will not buy remasters of FFX, KH 1.5/2.5 unless I can exchange for $10 upcharge and trophies are shared. 2.5 should have been ps4 anyways :\
 
Noooooo. I mean yes but no. Bought it on Vita foolishly forgetting I nevery use my handhelds, especially for that period of time. Cross buy or discount please. Please

It is at full price. Type-0 HD is a $60USD release.

I can see the logic behind the FFVII port now.

"People are willing to buy again a remastered that came out less than 5 minutes ago, they'll LOVE one of a 17 years old game!"

That's the thing though, they could have paired any game with the 15 demo and it would have sold. In other words, Type-0 was picked to get HD treatment instead of 12. The reason given is 'migrating the fanbase' but 12 HD would have probably migrated more people than Type-0 would.

That excuse is flimsy on their part imo. They already put XIV on PS4 and now VII and X/X-2 ports will help further that as well.

FF Type-0 was never released in the West and many people wanted it.

Yeah probably would've been a waste of time to polish it for further platforms with little sales back. We already know the West almost completely moved to current-gen, so a Type-0 HD on 360 and ps3 is really unnecessary. On VITA even more.

I hope there's an LE for this and I hope they sell it on Amazon.

It probably also has to do with the fact Tabata directed that game too and western folks begged for it. Which I maintain to this very day was incredibly silly. I never got the impression that Type-0 was worth all that begging and I still haven't.

I agree, XII would've been a categorically better choice.

let's not forget the fan outcry "where's Type-0??". People wanted that game to be released so bad and they went so far as to fully translate it.

Its arguably a game people demand more than they do FFXII.
 
The biggest disappointment is going to be when SE announced XII HD and it's not the international version

That would be disappointing for sure, but I'd still take it as I loved the base game. But yeah I really do hope they'd use this as an opportunity to release that version elsewhere.

...lol

Seems more like they are trying with this, FF7 and Type-0 to try and move some PS4's before XV's release. Which is fair enough, the current market size in Japan is abysmal.

Don't have any feelings for 10 HD on PS4, I'd be excited if it was on PC, was only a few months ago I completed it.

I don't think the number of PS4s sold in the west is what they're concerned about though. I think the "migrating the fanbase" comment is actually directed towards Japan, where the PS4 has a poor showing. If that is the case, the raw numbers for Japan would indicate 12 HD would sell better than a Type-0 HD.

But that's a what-if, I suppose.

Type-0 should have been localized ages ago.

I unintentionally held off on getting X/X-2 HD for PS3, so if this is legit, I guess I'll pick up this version whenever it's released instead.
