Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD - Newly arranged music

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
If it's anything like Kingdom Hearts 1.5, it might simply be a very slight arrangement recorded with live instruments. The result on Kingdom Hearts was phenomenal.

Here are some tracks:
- Bustin'Up on the Beach
- Traverse Town
- Hand in Hand
- Scherzo Di Notte

Still waiting for the release date and some info on the Vita version...

I have a feeling this will be the case.

To Zanarkand, Someday the Dream Will End, and Ending Theme will sound glorious.

Funny how a HD collection is my most anticipated game of the year. Then again, FFX is in my top 5 games of all time.

Absolutely hyped for the trophy hunting.

Aww shit, I almost forgot this was coming out. Well, I should have a bit of money by then so it's all good.

I was always near tears during the ending, maybe this time it'll get me to a point I'll cry, haha!

I really hate it when game music is rearranged for things like this and you don't get an option for the original music. It's like that in Zero no Kiseki Evolution. Most of the arrangements are inferior to the originals. I love Hamauzu, I really do, but some of the music is great the way it was. Especially Wandering Flame omg.

I really hope they don't mess with that one. No need whatsoever.

XIII* cause XII was a joke

I did mean XIII, but XII has a really strong score. Sakimoto should be scoring films. He does ambience and whimsy really well and his epic pieces always fit the scale of the world and the stakes, whether FFXII or Valkyria Chronicles or whatever. He's super underrated.

This part of the start screen always confused me:

They had plans on making FFX connected with PlayOnline for what reasons, exactly?
I actually seem to recall something about an always accessible strategy guide, but I guess that'd only cut into their strategy guide sales... unless they made that an add-on. Now that I think about it I sort of wonder why more DON'T do that, you could even argue EarthBound just did that albeit as a mandatory bundle at $2 more than a normal SNES game. Maybe with the OS features of PS4 and XB1 we'll actually see it?

Well, I know there's Prima guides on Steam, but I don't know exactly how those work.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Some of those remastered tracks lost what the original made them so good. So I would be wary.
Agreed... the KH 1.5 songs that I just listened to didn't sound as good as the original ones :( Now I'm worried.
 
The menu interface has been dramatically improved. I just hope the arrangements to the music don't ruin the original feel.

I'm prepared to dodge 200 Lightning bolts AND get under 0 seconds in chocobo racing again!

will they rearrange the superior koda into x-2

No, why would they downgrade 1000 Words to Koda's version?

They better not fuck up Wandering Flame. Best song from the game IMO.

What was the purpose of PlayOnline in FFX anyway?
 
With FFIV Complete Collection they gave us the choice of Arranged or Original, hopefully they'll do the same for this release.

Yojimbo is my boy for dark Aeons though.
My first encounter with a dark aeon was hilarious... I had no idea they even existed and I was roaming around in Thunder Plains doing something random. That's when I saw this guy standing near my save point...

"Wtf?"

I was positive that this man wasn't standing here before (I had been spending over 200 hours grinding in Thunder Plains... don't ask me why). I speak to him, boom - Dark Shiva. How did the encounter go? Well... her 255 Agility dominated all of my characters and she killed every single one of my characters without me even doing one command :lol Loved it. As a kid, I thought I had found a glitch because of how impossible that felt.

My first encounter was with dark Magus sisters.
Thought id counter them with my own.
summoned.
Died.
:(

I was after Aurons final overdrive and went back to besaid following an american guide.
didn't mention dark valefor.
He fucked me up too.
Went back and sliced him in half with yojimbo and a shit load of money.
Was worth it, Aurons final overdirve is amazing.

Exact same thing with me, except I never beat him...
Never got Auron's final overdrive. ;_;

It's strange to think I've played FFX for hundreds of hours but there's still a load of content I've never seen or experienced.

I had three near the end save files and yet never completed the main game. Easily 100 hours and the only time I've seen the end was on YouTube.
 
sooo nice the hear that the remaster will feature arranged music by Hamauzu!

I am looking much more forward to this one than LRFFXIII, SE. So.. release date, plaese.
 
FFX music is great as it is, it doesn't any arranging... I just want an authentic as possible experience to FFX.

I can't wait to kill Dark Yojimbo again. Lord.

That menu looks really slick. I see they've taken some queues from FFXIII's menu.
 
Is anyone else more interested in the X-2 side of things? I love X, but X-2 is one of my favorite RPGs ever.

I can't imagine them touching the soundtrack side of X-2 with a 50 foot pole (and no, they can't use Kumi's version of Real Emotion or 100 Words) but if they did, I'd really like them to add some of the piano arrangements in.

I almost forgot how bad the menus for X were.

It's... beautiful! =O
Loved it! <3

I want to see what they will do with KH 2 soundtrack. There are some tracks with really annoying instruments, I remember that some songs was way better on RE:CoM than in KH2.
 
Oshi. I never heard this before! I like this a lot. I've heard the background more techno beat version of the song but never with the vocals. :eek:

People can say what they want about X-2 but it's music was sogood

It's on the character album that each girl got! Yuna's includes vocal versions of Eternity: memories of Lightwaves and Yuna's Ballad (called Kimi he), While Rikku and Paine's include vocal versions of their own theme tracks and an original song.

Now that I think of it, X had a pretty cool vocal album too.

New menus look great! Like someone mentioned earlier, To Zanarkand is perfect the way it is, hopefully they don't meddle too much with it.
 
There has to be a troll bronze trophy for trying to use Yojimbo's Zanmato against Dark Aeons/Penance.

Something like "Sorry, but no".

I cannot wait to see all those angry posts about blitzball,thunder dodgaloo,butterflies and chocobo negative time race.
