Well, Enix was mostly a publisher. Chunsoft did DQ for them early in the series. Quintet developed the amazing Soul Blazer Trilogy and ActRaiser (I know there are other games, but these are the major ones). Tri-Ace did Star Ocean. So Enix does have its share of good games.Acrylic7 said:
Anyway... FFXII: IZJS in HD and FFIX, then I'll be a happy camper.
But this sounds like a budget line to me, like "The Best" or "Ultimate Hits".

Oh c'mon FF2 wasn't THAT bad. I mean the whole leveling system is broken sure, but it actually makes some sense on paper. I think that they were onto something and implemented it in a wrong way. The story was good for the time the game was released, there were characters and an objective. I haven't played all that many FF games but I liked FF2 for what it tried to do.

Character designs were complete ass. Tidus looks like a tool.

It didn't mesh well because there wasn't an overall style going on. What Tidus wore had him at odds to Yuna's design for example. At least that's my take on it.

The character desgins are fine. I'm not sure how Tidus looks like a tool. I don't know how one looks like a tool, but whatever. He looks like a youthful and happy guy, which is what he is. I'm really not sure whats wrong with the art design of FFX. The game sells the tropical world it takes place in and the places of Zanarkand feel and look like a dream world.The Xtortionist said:
That's kind of the point.Urban Scholar said:
He is "from" a different and more "modern" time. Of course he would be wearing something like that. She is from the "past" where tradition is more predominate. The art of FFX draws upon traditional Japanese folklore, it makes sense for her character to wear something that seems very Japanese like that.

FF XII does not look dated in HD.Rahxephon91 said:

Ok? That's one game that came late in the PS2's life. You think stuff like FFX or even The Bouncer are going to look fantastic?brotkasten said:

But in that case the inconsistency enforces the fact that Tidus and Yuna are(metaphorically) from 2 separate worlds.
I mean, I think Tidus' costume looks stupid, but not being like Yuna's wasn't really a problem.
If you want to bring up an actual inconsistency, there's the fact that Yuna's costume doesn't mesh with the rest of Spira. Not even the Yevonites or summoners.

I can't get over Lulu's design either. Wouldn't it take days to put all those belts on??

No, FFX doesn't look great in HD, I've played it few times on my PC. FF XII however doesn't look that bad.Rahxephon91 said:

Comparison between SD and HD:

It lacks some HDRR and shaders, but other than doesn't look worse than your average HD JRPG.
Here's FF X

Even if you ignore the wrong aspect ratio, it looks really dated.

Hmm, so, PSN releases of the remaining PS1 catalog (Chrono Cross, Einhander, etc) along with PS3 HD remakes of the fully localized versions of FFX, FFX-2 and FFXII confirmed.
Alongside HD PSN/XBLA ports of Enix's gems of previous generations such as Mischief Makers.
If not, they're doing something wrong.

Overalls with asymmetrical pantlegs. A bright yellow and blue shirt.... And he's a sports hero?Rahxephon91 said:
Lulu, Wakka and Auron have some weird design elements going on too (belts, hair, weird sleeve things). The only one I really like is Yuna (aside from her silly different colored eyes).
In my mind it was a low point for Nomura's designs. It has been much better before and since (VIII and XIII come to mind as character designs I quite like).

How did the Tomb Raider Trilogy do anyway? Half the reason I bought it was to show support for these collections. (The other half was for Anniversary =P)

I have zero confidence in SE doing a proper re-release of any of its FF gems, to be honest. I'd rather they left the old games alone until they fix their priorities.

My copy is still unopened. I bought it precisely to reward Square-Enix for putting out an HD collection of a PS2 series.Kagari said:

Man, what I would do for an HD The Bouncer port with Trophies/online play...
Or perhap even a sequel...if the game was a little more fleshed out (explorable town) it'd be even better. Think Yakuza series.
How farfetched is this?

I don't know if this has been put forward already, but given this is a European trademark, it's possible that this is a label for SE to publish the PSOne games on PSN that were never released here back in the day, such as Parasite Eve and Xenogears, that are already on the Asian and American stores.

Tidus doesn't wear a shirt. He does wear a jacket that only covers his nipples and nothing else, though.
Also, the only thing that contradicts him as a sports star is the fact that he wears a metal gauntlet for a full contact sport.

Tidus ain't a "freak" like Rodman. He's a pretty whitebread personality.. but whatever.
Realism doesn't bother me either... it just doesn't look stylish. Looks like some random "wacky" elements were thrown into a blender for FFX's designs. Everyone has some crazy gimmick in their clothing. I think Nomura was designing in that era under the self-impression that his job was to create craaaazy fantasy characters... but that wasn't how he got to the top, and he's since toned it down.
I'm thinking of the casts in other Nomura FFs and almost none of the characters are as "circus clown" as the general cast of FFX. Characters like Aerith, Squall, Lightning, etc are all wearing things that have some sort of fashionable appeal even if no one would wear it in real life. (actually come to think of it I do rock a Squall-like jacket in the winter)
Right.. it's kind of a vest-jacket I guess. The colors are the main point. Really, I think "clown".Fimbulvetr said:

I've never been in the camp that believes fantasy gives the developers a free pass to ignore logic. You can have both, and the end result is something more cohesive and believable.
