Pretty awesome if this is the music and RNG fix, which I assume it is.
Didn't really notice the RNG issue but definitely did with the music. Them announcing the update was what made me buy it for PS4 as well so I'm glad it's finally here!

Nice! Thanks for the heads-up, OP.
I have it sitting here and was waiting until these issues were resolved.

I'm glad they actually went ahead and patched it. Until they announced it, I figured they wouldn't even bother. (Same with Type-0, too)
Definitely going to buy a copy now.

So far I am aware, yes.
The port is blistering otherwise. No load times, crisp visuals, both soundtracks... Its amazing. Especially now.

The music would reset after each battle which meant you would never hear the full track unless you were with No Encounter abilities.
The RNG thing was a bug affecting encounters and made monster capturing annoying among other things.
What was the problem with the RNG ? Like, how couldn't it be "random" ?
EDIT: btw, are these problems present in the PS3 version ? And if they are, did SE ever fixed them, or at least plan on doing so ? I do own it but never played for more than a few hours, maybe its time to "upgrade" lol.

And you still can't skip cutscenes?
Would I be missing out on much if I grab this on PS3 instead of PS4?
I don't have a PS4 yet and kind of want to play them sooner rather than later
What was the issue with RNG specifically? Was it drop related, or used in calculating damage, or both?
If your algorithm uses something as a seed, and the seed never changes, then everyone gets the same exact 'random' numbers would be my guess. A lot of algorithms use stuff that changes all the time, like a clock or a memory address that is constantly changing in value. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_seed
My guess is FFX used some value that NEVER EVER CHANGED as its seed. What this affected is what i'd like to know.

Does it turn trophy language to Chinese?

No, just a lower resolution and no classic soundtrack (some people hate the remix). And a bit longer load times, maybe some framedrops too.

This ruined the port for me on Vita. A cardinal sin on a handheld game.
the load times are a bit long on ps3 and thats it.
ps4 version is the best, vita has portability but only download for X-2
if you played the 50hz version like me back in the day every version is better than ps2.

Question. Is it cross save with PS3?
I was playing FFX on PS3, and I had like 20 hours of gameplay. Which... I'd rather not do again (Tutorial, tutorial, stuff).

Sorry - may not be the right place to ask, buuuuut....
I've never played FF X or X-2. If I want a fun JRPG, should I pick this up?

X is fun. X-2 has a fun battle system but everything surrounding it is terrible.

Yaaaay gonna buy it now.
Never played FFX, so happy this is now the definitive version, original music and now bug-free!

Awesome. Now we just need the Japanese voicetrack included too, so that I don't have to listen to Ratchet as the voice of Tidus anymore.
I had a Gamecube during that gen. PS3 is my first Sony console so I've been playing catch up for the last 5 years on all the PS1 & PS2 games I missed out on, so I've never played FFX before

Not really. Puroboros were really hard to capture with the RNG bug, but every other stupidly hard to find creature(Tonberry, Master Tonberry, Valaha, Ghost, Wraith, etc) actually ended up with a really good RNG, so the total time of capture was way less than it ever was before. I platinumed the game on PS4 and it took me far less time to do full captures than in any other run I've ever had because of the RNG bug.
People expecting it to be easier now are in for a shock, unless Puroboros was the only thing they had left.
Mostly the RNG bug made it so you couldn't save scum equipment easily. If you reset and reloaded you'd get the exact same drop. The reality of it was that most people who just played the game would never notice a problem, yet a lot of people were scared off by the description of the bug more than what the bug actually meant (and there was a lot of misinformation to boot).
Are the faces still bad? Are they any different than the PS3 version?
X is my #2 game of all time and is a game that will always show up near the top on a poll for best games ever made, so yes.

what was the RNG before?
Thanks for the explanation Geo ! Though i was asking more about the effects of RNG in FFX, i never quite understood what RNG is really about, so thanks for it.
Oh, now i get it, thanks. Don't seem to be a major problem though, so i guess I'll stick to my PS3 copy if i ever want to play it lol.
Yes.
