Instead, as the company explained at the Taipei Game Show, Final Fantasy X is getting a HD remastering — like Metal Gear or Shadow of the Colossus — and not a full-on HD remake. [Gematsu via FF-Reunion]
I’m still struggling with the confusion on this one. I thought HD port was a given since the announcement but there seems to be quite a few people convinced it was a proper remake. Vague statements from squeenix didn’t help I guess.
Yeah, I think this is what will happen. The ‘HD Remaster’ will be the remastered international version, that way, at least in NA, they’ll be able to say “8 NEW BOSS BATTLES” meaning the Dark Aeons that didn’t appear in the NA version of FFX.
Erm what’s the difference Mr single-sentence Ashcroft? Do you mean they’re just updating the graphics or the graphics and engine but not new content or what exactly?
What this means is that we now have two categories of HD revisions for games now, and we’d best type the right one whenever we mention them. What we thought we could safely call a remake is now reserved for games where some content is added or changed, and now must use ‘remastered’ for where a game’s graphics are touched up only.
I heard george lucas and steven speilberg will be involved in the remaster and every single weapon will be replaced with a moogle doll (no changes to lulu) and just before the horrendous laughing scene kimari will be heard screaming “noooo”… good times
