The ‘Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster’ Will Hit PS4 This May!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: If you weren’t already sick of buying Square-Enix‘s stellar Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy X-2, you’ll soon be able to pick the games up all over again for your shiny year-and-a-half old PS4.

Sure, the remaster just hit PS3 and Vita back in December (which I bough and still haven’t touched), and now Square-Enix has revealed that the PS4 version will be available on May 12th.

Does anybody else feel like half of the PS4’s library is rereleases at this point?

The PS4 edition WILL include cross-save functionality, so if you’ve already started on the PS3 or Vita, you won’t be out of luck. In this edition, you’ll also be able to switch between the original and remastered soundtracks on the fly, which is actually pretty rad.

Will you listen to my story again on May 12th? Or are you sitting this one out? Sound out below!

RUMOR: ‘Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster’ Set For A PS4 Release

by Josh Jackson

We hope you REALLY enjoy visiting Spira!  A short nine months after Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster was released for the Playstation 3 and PS Vita, rumors have surfaced claiming that the set of RPGs will be making a PS4 debut early next year.

The Square Enix Boutique, France’s version of the publisher’s online store, listed the title for preorder, and scheduled for a Spring 2015 release. Shortly after the Internet caught wind of the listing, it was quickly removed, most likely due to someone wanting to save their job since no official announcement has been made as of yet.

If the news ends up being true, I can’t say it’s surprising. At this point, the PS4 feels more like an upscaled PS3, and with Square Enix also planning to release Final Fantasy VII and Type-0 next year, it doesn’t look like we’ll get much in the way of original content while we wait for XV, (though to be fair, Type-0 never released in the West). It’s especially bad for those who had PS4’s and already bought the collection. Who’s to say they wouldn’t have bought the current gen version to begin with? Oh well, I guess they can always buy it again…

Want To Own A Piece Of ‘Final Fantasy X’ Artwork? Now’s Your Chance!

by Josh Jackson

Last week, Square Enix held a huge launch event for Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster, showing off the game’s incredible artwork that had fans lining up for blocks in the killer winter heat. Wait, what? Oh, California, you’re doing it wrong.

If it was FFX related, it was there. From some of the best figures released, to a Blitzball themed Foosball table and even the Producer and Art Director of the game, Yoshinori Kitase and Yusuke Naora, were in attendance to sign freshly bought games for their loving fanbase.

Final Fantasy X EventThey came all the way from Japan, too! How awesome is that?

While fun times were had, surely every fan couldn’t be in attendance, which is why Gallery Nucleus is auctioning off the artwork that was on display! But you only have until tonight to get your bids in, so if you have deep pockets and a love for all things role playing, now’s your chance to own something awesome, like this piece!

by Josh Jackson

Do you love Final Fantasy? Will you happen to be in the Southern California area on March 15th? If so, that will be a day you DO NOT want to miss.

Square Enix will be holding a launch event for the upcoming Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remaster at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, California. Copies of Limited Edition, Vita version AND the formerly online only Collectors Edition will be on hand for the lucky fans who get to attend. The better news? Attendees will get a chance to meet Yoshinori Kitase and Yusuke Naora, the Producer and Art Director of the game.

If you’re planning on going, make sure to get there early! The event runs from 2PM to 8PM, but Square Enix fans are ravenous, so you’ll want to make sure to plan accordingly. Oh, did I mention the first 200 games sold will be autographed while the first 300 will get an exclusive art print? Sleep is overrated anyway.

The actual gallery featuring art from the game will be on display through March 26th. For complete details, including the location, additional activities and future events, visit gallerynucleus.com, and be sure to check out the game’s launch trailer from earlier today.

The ‘Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD’ Rerelease Is Almost Here! Watch The Launch Trailer Now!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’re just one week away from the North American launch of Square-Enix’s HD rerelease of Final Fantasy X and X-2 HD, and the publisher has just debuted the launch trailer for the game.

I’m beyond excited to play this one. I first played Final Fantasy X as an 11 year-old, and as such, the only thing that I really remember is that I loved it. I can’t wait to reexperience Tidus, Blitzball, Sin, and everything that the game has to offer now that I’m an adult.

And I’ve never played X-2!

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be picking up the game. Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD launches on March 18th!

‘Final Fantasy X/X2 HD’ Gets A Release Date!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I sure wish that Square-Enix would have planned this title sooner, or made the jump to make it a PS4 title at this point.

The publisher has just announced the North American and European release dates for Final Fantasy X / X2 HD, the HD remakes of the revered Final Fantasy titles that graced the PS2 back in 2001 and 2003.

Sadly, we won’t be playing for awhile. The game is hitting the PS3 and Vita in Japan on December 26th, but the PS3 version won’t release in North America until March 18th, 2014, and Europe on March 21st, 2014. No North American or European Vita release dates were revealed.

I’m really looking forward to the new edition, seeing as I haven’t played Final Fantasy X since I was 11 years old. Will the game be enough to plug my PS3 back in, however? I guess only time will tell! Take a look at a new trailer for the game below, and let us know if you’ll be picking it up!

Watch A New Trailer For ‘Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

I’m beyond excited for this one.

Sure, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD is a high definition remake of games that are over a decade old, but I was just 11 years old when Final Fantasy X released, and for some reason never completed the title. Now I’m older, more patient, and I’ve forgotten what the game’s about, so it’s the perfect time to be reintroduced to it.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD will launch on PS3 and PS Vita later this year. PS3 users will get both games on one Blu-Ray, while Vita players will need to purchase each game separately. Square-Enix just revealed a new trailer for the compilation at this year’s E3 conference, so take a look below, and let us know if you’re excited!

Now that I’m older, I bet I can kick some butt at Blitzball.

Watch The Trailer For ‘Final Fantasy X/X2’ HD!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Just watching this trailer gave me all kinds of goosebumps and took me back to the ripe age of 11, when Final Fantasy X first released, and when I explored the world of Spira for the first time.

As promised, Square-Enix today released the first trailer for their upcoming HD rereleases of Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X2. As we noted last week, the games will be releasing in North America later this year; PS3 players will get both titles on a single disc, while Vita owners will buy each game separately. We’ll give you more info as soon as we have it, as I’m excited as hell for this one.

Watch the announcement trailer below, and let us know what you think!

‘Final Fantasy X’ And ‘Final Fantasy X-2’ HD Rereleases Coming To North America!

by Derek Kraneveldt

The official trailer won’t be released until Monday, but at least we know it’s coming.

Square-Enix today revealed that the anticipated HD rereleases of Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 will be releasing in territories outside Japan. No release dates have been set, but the games will release in Japan, Europe, and North America, later this year.

PS3 players will get both games on one disc, while Vita owners (all four of you) will have to purchase each chapter separately.

I’m looking forward to this one. Final Fantasy X originally released when I was just 11 years old, and while I played it back then, my experience with the game is nothing but a distant memory. I do remember loving every minute of it however, so I’d jump at the opportunity to return to Spira.

Read the press release below, and let us know if you’re excited! Look for the trailer on March 25th!
