Final Fantasy X Coming to PS3 and PS Vita in HD
This continues a trend of PS Vita games and PS3 games receiving near-identical ports. Multiplayer Vita games can play online against PS3 players and include many other connectivity features. Presumably, Final Fantasy X HD will have trophy support and scale up to 1080p, just like the other HD remakes mentioned above.
There is no release date yet for Final Fantasy X on the PS3 or PS Vita, but you can bet your memory card Caves of Narshe will report it as soon as it's made public.

| This seriously bumps up the chance of me buying a Vita. As much as I love my 3DS, the Vita has a much better lineup both at launch and afterwards. | |

| One more thing I should have included in the newspost - it's the International version of FF X, so if this comes out in North America (which it should), then it'll be the first time the United States and Canada get to play FFX International. | |

OK, that post got me interested. I know I can't afford a Vita for a long time, but maybe a PS3 isn't completely out of reach for me in a year or two... | |

| Wow this sounds pretty good. It's good to see the trend of rereleases continuing to be graphics and music only, although I sometimes wish the music would remain the same. Then again, the only ones I'd seriously consider buying would be VII to IX, and they're getting the least attention. It's really weird. I wonder if FFXII: International will get a worldwide HD release next? That would be amazing. It'll be interesting to see what the Trophies will be. I didn't particularly like XIII's achievements. Only a handful were fun, the others were just checkpoints. It'd be good if X gets some inspired challenges. | |

| Do you guys think they'll improve the voice acting in addition to the graphics and music? I sure hope so >_> Also, a cutscene skip option  | |

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!! Must buy. I would have used a re-release as an excuse to replay FFX regardless(though let's be honest, not having a legitimate excuse hasn't stopped me the last three times), but the chance to play the International version with its additional battles and features has me at hello. Quote Do you guys think they'll improve the voice acting in addition to the graphics and music? I sure hope so >_> Also, a cutscene skip option ....uh, what the heck? The voice acting is already great. I sure hope that they wouldn't want to throw out a set of voice acting that is not only solid across the board but also iconic (Wakka? Tidus? Auron?). Unless by improve you mean add voices to minor characters or scenes that didn't have voice acting in them previously, though I'd imagine the later would be impossible to do. And skipping cut scenes? What kind of person are you? | |

| DP: The kind of guy who doesn't want to sit through a 10 minute cutscene just before Yunalesca every time he dies. Which is often -.- But yeah, adding VA to minor characters would be awesome. And also better synching with the lips, but that's really a minor issue that I don't care that much about >_> | |

| Quote OK, maybe it's not the remake fans were waiting for, but it's something, right? Square-Enix's 2001 megahit will receive a high-definition makeover and be available as a PS3 game and a PS Vita download. Final Fantasy X follows hot on the heels of several other PS2 games receiving HD remakes on the PS3, including God of War I and II, ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, and the entire Sly Cooper Series. Okay, now it just looks like they're purposely not remaking FFVII. Maybe it's because it's the idea that's gotten the most attention and thus they'd be put under the most fan scrutiny if they did that. | |

Fun fact, PS3s are now as expensive as a Vita will be at launch, both are $249.99, so weigh which one would be more appealing to your lifestyle. I wasn't going to get this until I heard that it's the international version. Now I am definitely interested | |

As I understand it, the tricky part with synching the facial movements was that the translation team had to try to write their dialogue based on the pre-established mouth movements intended for Japanese dialogue (I recall an interview with Alex Smith, the translator for FFX, that was published at the end of the official guide where he went into detail on the difficulty this posed). So perhaps that would be an issue to be solved by the improved graphics? | |

| Actually, would it be easier (than in, say, animé) to re-animate the characters based on the choice of language? Or would that still be prohibitively expensive? ^^ Oh whoa, I see, so basically it's an improved and feature-added re-release plus some extras. Sounds like a good deal. | |

Or would that still be prohibitively expensive? ^^ Oh whoa, I see, so basically it's an improved and feature-added re-release plus some extras. Sounds like a good deal. As it just so happens, it would be incredibly cheap to better synchronize the lipsync - at least for the real-time scenes. There, all you have to do is rewrite the instructions for the facial movements, and bam - you've got yourself some spicy lipsynced action. For the real time scenes, however, they'd have to either completely reanimate the lip movements to sync them with the dialogue, or they'd have to re-record the dialogue entirely to fit the pre-existing lipflap. Although they'd probably be both very expensive, the latter would probably be the better bet. The voice actors have all improved dramatically in the last 10 or so years, I'd imagine, and a large portion of the fanbase hates the English dub for this game, so re-recording the dialogue is a win-win. | |
