All I hear are excuses for being an alien.

You've found me out.

Will I triple dip?

Honestly, I spent 95% of my plat playthrough on the vita since it was more convenient and intimate. Maybe I'll do X-2 on console because I'll need a guide next to me to 100% it anyway. If I decide on that, I'll probably wait for a price drop.

This is the only PS2 Remaster to date on current gen?
Hopefully we'll get more in the future because the results are great.
I hope we get another Silent Hill Remastered and Haunting Ground would be nice too.

Only PS2 remaster yeah, although Wind Waker was from the same gen and that got remastered. Next is that Legend of Kay game getting the 10th anniversary remaster for PS4/Wii U/PC. Don't be surprised if we hear about the KH games getting remastered for PS4 this year.

the 200 dodges are much worse tho

well initially it took me forever to do the damn thing, then eventually i got to the point where i have to do the challenge 2-3 times then bam complete and can repeat it that day, then if i go do it for someone else i again have to fail 2-3 times and bam repeat.
Not I attempted it flawlessly after my second time doing it, I can repeat getting it after 2-3 failures over and over. lightning dodge seemed odd on the HD, could be my tv isnt the best/ whatever something calibrations.

Please for KH with Dream drop distance remaster. hell it could be without it and i'd still pay for it( I never bought the kh2 collection due to thinking it'd come on the ps4)

Chocobo race is the hardest among them. It took me weeks after weeks to finish it. There's even a time when I almost gave up but luckily I was able to finish it. It was really exhausting experience.

Looks great, actual perceivable improvements over PS3.

Can people who already have it confirm that the trophies are also shared? (And not in Chinese lol)

I don't 'already have it' strictly speaking, but trophies are shared.

Chinese trophy list... that's a separate issue that might or might not be fixed and appears to differ from region to region.

The trophy list on my ps4 now appears in english, on the vita and ps3 it was in Chinese, thank god for that as I am getting it for the ps4 as I did not finish it on the ps3 or vita.

I'm curious if the dead eyes are still intact due to the new models not quite matching up with the old animations during the cutscenes

200 lightning bolt is the worst thing in the game EVEN with the crater trick.

Chocobo Race at least is more fun to play ,because there is a clear objective and you're competing against the fucked up AI and controls.

200 Bolt is monotonous,boring and exhausting.

This is true. It's even worse when you get to a really high number and get distracted by something.

Ahh, the endless 12-years-and-counting "which FFX minigame is the most akin to what a POW might expect to encounter" debate.

For my money, definitely the chocobo race. The number of times I received a time of 0:00:01 is staggering.

the only winning move is to not play FFX minigames.

I certainly won't anymore,or at least not anytime soon.

I did them last year ,and it felt like I was on a trial.

I had to distance my self from FFX after doing the side quests,despite how much I love the game.
Its just arduous stuff.

Chocobo racing is easy peezy compared to butterfly bullshit and that insane fucking Lightning Dodge garbage. I did that shit once on the PS2. Never again.
 

Falk

that puzzling face
Trophiessss

Already got my two plats

Never again

(Though I'll probably cave and play FFX through again the way a normal human being would, on PS4)

p.s. this whole discussion really boils down to "git gud" (lightning dodging) vs "git gud + git lucky" (chocobo racing) vs "I heard you liked Captain Tsubasa on NES? Well I'm here to rape your childhood memory lol" (Blitzball)

Was there a trophy for beating the goers during the tournament or wasted opportunity?
and blitz is easy, IF you get the al behd (i forget spelling) players (i think 2 were top tier?)

Blitzball is on of those minigams that is hard to start with and quickly gets easy as you go along

But the chocobo racing is too much luck dependant, the randomness makes it frustrating and unfair. I had less problems finishing Shadow of the Colossus hard time attack than the freaking chocobo race.

Does that make me a lucky bastard, who is also an alien according to Falk.
 
I think that as bad as the minigames are, the trophy of filling every node on everyone's sphere grid is even worse.It is so incredibly tedious and time-consuming, requiring hours and hours of grindong in the monster arena.

i wonder why these ffs remasters are playstation exclusive?

ff13-3 sold worse than ffx+digital code of x-2 did for vita, FF type-0 iirc sold worse on the xbone than on the ps4. Why spend budget to make a product that wont sell on a platform(sell well)

Because that's where they sell.

Would you bet your account on that lol
ff13 never gonna be on xbox 360 just like mgs :p

And with the chocobo racing, and to a lesser extent the butterfly catching, you can drink and not seriously impact your performance. That automatically makes them better. The only time I ever beat that damn chocobo race was after I was a few beers deep. The lightning dodging requires laser focus, even with the crater trick. One momentary lapse, 10 minutes of work down the drain. So you have to stay stone cold sober for something that is unbelievably dull. That's no way to game, dammit!

Either a deal with Sony or SE don't think the sales from 360/XB1 will be worth the porting costs. After seeing how Type-0 HD did on Xbox One they could be right with that.

Winner winner chicken dinner, Yeah why make games for a smaller market, which has a smaller niche of people who buy rpgs.

square enix failed to fix the faces :( they are slowly morphing tidus into sora :(
but ps4 clearly looks sharper than ps3. So ps2>>>ps4>>ps3

is that ps2 or ps2 emulated?

I never understood the need to ask this question when other exclusive xbox nintendo or pc games can have the same thing said about them >.>. Seeing how the games were only on the PS why even pose the question.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty clear as well. FFX was only released on PS2 so it can be assumed that Sony have rights to exclusivity for that game. It's not like we're going to be playing Master Chief Collection on PS4.
 
Because that's where they sell.
it's an ffs game, just remastered. by this logic, i'd wonder why ffs15 isn't Ps4 exclusive. it'll do fine numbers on xbone, but the Ps4 numbers will probably be (perhaps tremendously) better.
Fixed, and the answer is obvious
i don't get it. i'm a n00b when it comes to ffs anyway. ffsx remastered for Ps4 will be the first time I ever play it.

yeah, I guess since it is a remaster.

the latter is probably it coz I highly doubt sony does anything to secure 3rd party exclusives anymore.

Yeah kinda weird why wouldn't they release it on PC.
having that happen would still make it a console exclusive. but did ffs10 ever release on PC? I thought it was originally a Ps2 game.

uhh, the devil may cry hd collection came out for 360, when it was originally a Ps2 game. same for some of the original Ps2 mgs games.

The reasons for the xbox 360 remasters of dmc/mgs was easy , Xbox 360 for the longest time was the leading console(not counting pc/wii) .
FF15 was announced for the xbox one at a point where people thought the xbox one could dominate the market like the 360 did(problem is ps4 took that spot handily in almost every market)
 
PS2 Tidus looks more realistic. PS3/4 versions look cartoony. When they were making the character model did they really look at that and think it was an improvement?

I think they -- the Chinese studio -- probably just did it to the best of their ability and hoped SE would think it's good. SE apparently did.

I guess here is a good place as any to ask, but is the limited edition of FFX HD on Amazon Uk the same one where you get the steel book tin and art book that's on the Square-Enix store??
