Nostalgia plays a big role when you decide to play this game again. While we are quite far from the oft-requested HD remake, some people would be satisfied to have slight improvements such as upscaled graphics and pristine sound quality.
But we are talking about Square Enix, so you can bet there is a catch. Prepare for some tradeoffs (or rather, sacrifices) if you’re willing to pay 12 gil, specially if you really want to play the same game from 1997.
Square Enix has released new screenshots and artwork for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. The new images include artwork of Bahamut, Odin, and new monsters, as well as screenshots of the locations that can be found across the city states of Eorzea.
A Realm Reborn is scheduled to enter the third phase of closed beta testing in June. Beta phase three will introduce PlayStation 3 users to the game for the very first time, where they will be able to experience the world of Eorzea alongside PC players due to the game’s cross-platform functionality.
Not everyone is resting easily while Square Enix develops Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster. The fact that both games got exclusive content in a Japan-only release still makes most NA and EU fans wary of what could be potentially cut because reasons.
To make you guys aware of this situation and make some noise, I present you Operation Full Throttle: a non-profit fan initiative intended on convincing Square’s developers to release the games across all regions without removing anything.
Crazy, indeed! But this is not all FFX-2 has got up its sleeve. What happens when you put a lot of extra content in a game that is designed around side-quests?
That thing about Vegnagun and the whole Shuyin / Lenne romance? I’ve got better stuff to talk about!
Wait, so there were actually FOUR versions of Final Fantasy X?
With the re-release of Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster, it would be nice to tell you what exactly is new in the package and what was already there back in the old Playstation 2. This game is one of the weaker examples of software revisions and updates before DLC was commonplace in the industry, with Square Enix being one of the most fond of such practices.

So, there was this game called Final Fantasy Type-0 that launched for the PSP back in October 27, 2011. Some rumors emerged about an HD version for the PS Vita, but they turned out to be bogus. After all this time, Square Enix doesn’t seem to care about localizing the game at all. What gives? Piracy?
