XIII-2's announcement was around a year before the JP launch, yes, but they only started to show regular updates (weekly screenshots/trailers/etc.) around the end of the summer. That's what I meant by "hype campaign", but that wasn't really clear in my original post indeed.

Maybe he's working on that Unreal Engine Action RPG? They traveled the world to do research for it:

Maybe they did it to generate buzz for the Vita platform?
Hmm.....
i would imagine if they actually had a major FF director on board for the project they would say so from the start though. I'm also not convinced that Itou would make an action game.
maybe Itou is involved in this, speaking of western collaborations. "large scale project"

If he's been working overseas though I wonder if he'd be working on something turn-based either way. Hopefully we hear from him soon though, at least it doesn't seem like he's giving up on big projects just yet.
You won't know that until we get screenshots, actually

Well it as an amazing idea as this is one of the most popular RPGs and has an easy base to work from. It's also one of the best.

What department is Versus in? Nevercomingoutdepartment?

Godawful game, but it'll be a guaranteed moneymaker in Japan, and a quick HD port (assuming that's what this is) shouldn't be too hard even for SE.
Give me a HD port of XII next time.

X is one of my favourite RPGs ever, so I'll be buying this maybe probably if and when I buy a Vita.

It's sort of multiplat. It's PS3/PSVita as of now.

Will pass. only put up with turn based in Pokemon
So you will pass on a game with a far faster turn based syetm then slow ass Pokemon, which you can handle?
Ok.
S-E didn't really announce it though, Sony did. Remember Resident Evil Portable????
Lol.
SE have become the master trolls of the industry in my eyes.
I remember when FFVIII launched back in 1999 and in less than 18 months FFIX launched. Two really good games (yes I like VIII) in 18 months. I understand that games take much longer now but at least they weren't teased for years on end (that I can remember?), you know, you just got to play them.

Calm down, Mr. Sakurai.

Yes I really want this. I love FFX and would love to play it again in updated HD visuals.
But I'm fine playing it like it is, which is what I'm doing now.

Your loss.
I should be doing hw

Did Sony have a rep from Capcom come up during a conference to announce RE
though? We also got a clip of a soundtrack at least, more than RE did presumably. Also, this has never been confirmed to be a full remake anywhere, stop deluding yourselves people.

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
Let it come, I will buy it again, I have been swayed by all the comments. But I want X-2 with the last mission, you don't just release the first one without its sucessor to complete the story.
Don't make me pay Yojimbo on you Square, do you really want to take that chance?
Lol, I remember there was a technique to making him do the omega death slash 65-90% of the time?
I remember a point where my characters were all beefed up stats-wise, so much so, that even pops was clinging to his dear life, until I ended it, of course.
Pretty worried about Majora's Mask and Nintendo, though they said they wanted to release a new Zelda before remaking another old one, I know for a fact Nintendo has dementia. lol

It was announced because the first parties want announcements for their platforms, no matter how early.
I was actually hoping Sony would have grown up a little, and not pushed for that bullshit. At this point, even if Versus remains exclusive (and I would be pretty surprised if it did), anyone who's bought a PS3 specifically for it has really been mislead.
There should be some legal thing in place to stop the first parties promising the world then shrugging it off when the third parties turn tail later. Agent is another one. I'm actually pleased MGS4 never came to 360, not because I at all believe there's a good reason it didn't, but at least Sony didn't lie to everyone about that specific game.

I never beat this by myself, but i did watch a friend play it...does that count?
At least we know FF X HD exists in a form greater than a logo on a powerpoint presentation.

Would be far more expensive, and far bigger task, than simply upporting FF X. Besides, Japan fucking LOVES FF X for some reason.

Eh, it's not the best FF, but it's better than FF7.

Do you have to ask? It will come.
But it did appear on a US Vita pamphlet or something.

I don't want a FFVII remake. I still feel like without all weird graphics, odd gameplay choices, and strange sense of humor FFVII won't even be the same game anymore. It will probably just be worse, especially without Sakaguchi. Final Fantasy X just makes more sense because it doesnt really need that much work done, and doesn't really need the original staff to do much of a visual upgrade.
So yeah, I am really looking foward to this. I still have a PS2 save on the International Edition right before the final dungeon, but I honestly rather play the first part again instead of trying to figure out all of the builds of my characters again.

Great. Because this is the FF game everyone's been begging for. -_-
An insane attempt to appease shareholders, I imagine.
"Yes, yes, we haven't finished those games yet, we're working on them, we promise... BUT LOOK AT THESE 'NEW' GAMES WE PLANNED! SHINY OBJECTS! OOH!"

Ok, sounds more like a valid reason because I was trying to figure out "why" that particular title was going to be remade. IMO they would make bank if the remade FFVII and they know it.
