I paid good money for this Dynex!
From what I've heard, there are additional loading screens that weren't in the original, and the character models look fine at times, and incredibly shitty at others. Not sure about frame rate issues. Dude playing on a stream last night said he hadn't had any issues.

Vita native res and no slowdowns?
I believe both games are about 6.6gb

That was then, this is now. You will devour the new music as they shit it into your ears.
which is a nice way of saying, there's no option for the old music
From the FFX remaster music thread:
The site itself with the samples: http://www.square-enix.co.jp/music/sem/page/FFXHD/
Some legitimately great songs have been fucked up.

Aren't the new arrangements mostly well received anyway?
Some are good, some are meh/fine, some are terrible. The original soundtrack is superior, besides audio quality I guess.
All of those rearrangements sound really good, there's nothing "fucked up" about them (as in, that they'd sound completely horrible in a Resident Evil Dualshock Edition kind of way). The Besaid Island song is a beautiful one, even if a little bit different from the original.

I can understand people complaining about Besaid, but you're out of your mind if you think the new Spira Unplugged sounds bad
I'm just going to flat out disagree.

I am, too.
There are some solid arrangements in there, but the OST didn't need to be fucked with, and they really screwed up a fair number of tracks, judging from the samples they put up.
That's my biggest issue with the newly arranged tracks. If changes should be made they should be made for the better, not to put a new twist on what's already been established. Making something new just for the sake of that being new is dumb.
Having played through most of FFX recently, the majority of the soundtrack hasn't aged one bit.
The Japanese version doesn't have English text, unfortunately. The Asian version (with Chinese text) doesn't either.

FFX OST was already the worst main series soundtrack in the series anyways, by far. The new soundtrack is a non-issue IMO

I have to disagree. It's one of the best OST for a videogame ever IMO.
From what I could tell on the stream, the fades to white that were common in the original have been replaced by loading screens. But I could be wrong. If there are additional load screens then LOL at SE.

Wow, I loved the new besaid island song.
Edit: The Victory Fanfare is so much better too.
Edit 2: OH SHIT! The sample number 12 got a lot better too!!!!!!! March can't come soon enough.

Found a youtube walkthrough, a decent chunk of the game has been uploaded. Part one is below.

EDIT: This uploader is trying to go after the Platinum trophy, so we'll be able to see a lot of the game before March.

Hamauzu am cry.
I will be legitimately PISSED if they messed with his works which, IMO, were the best part of the OST.

I've forgotten so much about these games - watching the second video there, I totally didn't know what he was doing learning the overdrives. It'll be fun to play this when it's released stateside.

They should burn the remastered soundtrack and start over.

Nah, Yuna's theme sounds better. However, they messed up the f'ing prelude theme! WTF. Also Besaid Island doesn't sound bad when the violin kicks in. Listening to the game rip atm...
And there are streams out there. I was watching a guy who's trying to beat the game in one sitting. But not trying to watch too much since I'm waiting for my copy next week.
Edit: Now actually listening to the soundtrack, the rearrangement doesn't sound bad at all. Heck, I think Besaid Island sounds really good as well. The prelude theme is actually growing on me too.
There's not enough room on blu-ray discs obviously.
My bet is they will offer "Classic Music" DLC
Nah, he's right
*Vita carts. Doesn't this game push the space pretty hard on Vita?
Don't see why it couldn't be an option on PS3 though. Parity or w/e dumb reason.
