I guess I'm excited?
Square-enix isn't interested in anything touched by (Lord) Matsuno or else he would have remained there...Tactics ogre was already a miracle on psp.
Lazy ports aside fmv....What. FF Tactics was ported several times.
many many things were lost form initial Matsuno vision...and square-eidos isn't interested anymore on ivalice alliance or else they would have milked it in these years...FFXII IZJS was made by Hiroyuki Ito. It's his vision of what FFXII should have been when first released.
I'll be excited if they make it dual-language. But they probably won't, so I'll stick with undubs.
It's cool that they're actually updating character models. It doesn't seem like the right business decision though. A straight port in HD that could have already been released would've been better for damage control, and wouldn't leave the PS3 version of this game stuck between generations.
Also, didn't FFX still have some pre-rendered backgrounds? I really wonder what they're doing for those. It seems like most companies always discard the high-res versions or assets of those scenes, making it difficult/impossible to just convert the scene into a real 3D scene, or to just insert a high-res pre-rendered background.
Some people value gameplay over most other things. X-2 has the best ATB battle system in any FF, and I'd be willing to argue the best battle system in the series.
I love experiences with new battle systems.
What makes me cringe are fanboys crying for final fantasy 7 or 10 because its so loved and so good(i hate 7 and 10, because in PAL they cant live up the hype/legacy because of poorly put into PAL or the insanely stupid dialogues. also most of the fans of 7/10 never actually played it to the end they just know about it from friends or through fanfiction).
I dont fucking care about stupid remakes. Make new games and to all fanboys and critical heads out there: buy and play the games, dont just fudge around on the internet...
It makes me really sad...
At this rate, it seems very likely there'll be gameplay tweaks, additions, and/or refinements. Any thoughts on what those might be?
My hopes:
-multiple difficulty levels
-New Game+
-tweaked ultimate weapons (some of them, like Rikku's, have kinda crappy abilities compared to others)
-new action abilities, new weapon abilities
-revamped aeon stat-boosting system
-new enemies using new models created for FFX-2
?
All (The Celestial Weapons) of them had the same base 2 enhancements when fully charged with their respective crests/sigils:-
Break Damage Limit
Triple Overdrive
Only the remaining 2 enhancements differed I think.
Sure, but Lulu's 1 MP Cost/MP Turbo or Tidus's Evade & Counter/Magic Counter combo is much, much, much better than Rikku's Gillionaire/Double AP combo, for example. By the end of the game you have all the AP and Gil you could want.?

All this X-2 talk makes me want to play my copy I've never touched before. I was told the game wasn't very good.
Where will Lightning start out on the sphere grid?-Lightning returns
-no backtracking

It was weird to just see character models animating. It doesn't seem like they're that far along, otherwise they would've shown gameplay. Excited to play it whenever it comes out on PS3.

Square Enix's policy is, LITERALLY and yes I am using that correctly, LITERALLY "If you want us to do game X, then buy lots of game Y."
So basically, get everyone to buy this and show that there's a market here for more remakes.
Didnt work for Type-0.

Type-0 had nothing "before" it for fans to buy and prove there's a market, though?
Here's an interesting article:
http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/June_5,_2009_-_RPGSite_Interview_with_Shinji_Hashimoto.html
Could be fake, I suppose, but I doubt it...
Wakka was Raijin's bro.
It's true. I also asked the writer (APZonerunner on GAF) for confirmation back then and he said Hashimoto really did say that, but Square Enix told them to remove that part from the interview before its publication (at http://www.thegamingvault.com/2009/07/exclusive-front-mission-evolved-square-enix-interview/ ).

Oh the whole buy more only applies if you live in Japan since they care more for their esteemed JP audience.
FFX-2's not bad, it's more of an expansion pack to FFX than a new full game though- the entire world of FFX is reused. IIRC there were like 2 new dungeons that felt like real FF dungeons and all the rest of the new dungeons were plain corridor mazes that look like they could have been randomly generated. It wasn't worth the $50 I paid for it back when it came out, but it's decently entertaining because of the job system with the fun costumes.
now I wonder when is the next time we will get news about FFX HD.

If anything X is the expansion pack tbh.
