TGS: Final Fantasy X HD Coming to PS3, Vita

Just in time to celebrate its tenth anniversary.

Square-Enix dropped a bombshell at today's Sony press conference at Tokyo Game Show. With the tenth anniversary of Final Fantasy X coming up, Square thought it would release an HD version of Final Fantasy X. Details are currently scarce, as the game is still in development. But Final Fantasy X HD will be coming to both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.

That's it boys. Square finally started to remaster their most popular Final Fantasy games, at fans request. I'm looking forward to purchase this although I'll buy the title for the PS3 since I'm not even thinking of getting a Vita in the next following months or years. I've played FFX some years ago and I cried like a baby at the end but it's nowhere near my favorite titles (which are FF7, FF8 and FF9). I believe FFX launched the all-flash-no-substance trend in this new generation of Square's games. Come on, I admit I enjoyed playing FFXIII. It was a delight to play a game with wonderful graphics, a fairly good story and some upbeat music. I even enjoyed the battle system, but let's be fair: compared to previous FF titles, XIII was a joke.

And since I've been in a FF7 fan-mood this week (you've probably guessed it just by looking at my updaty thing at the top of the blog), I'll save the next paragraph for the usual ranting:

Although the opinions are divided, I still believe Square is up for a FF7 remake. The fans have been pleading for years and since they have all the development for AC, CC, BF and DoC, their path is pretty much clear by now. I just have the feeling that they're saving FF7 for something big. Perhaps a launching title for the PS4? I don't know, but Square knows how to play their game (no pun intended)and tease the fans until they burst of anticipation. I think they're up to something big.
They've remade all the games from I-VI and now they've jumped to X, leaving the three most beloved titles on the wait. Don't you have a hunch that they're saving them for something big? Because I do.

Tell me what you think.

Hugs,
