Final Fantasy X and X-2 Preorder $40 amazon PS3

Quote from deedub2u : a remastered ff7 would be sweet

if they dont remaster it for the ps3, hopefully for the ps4
save the best for a better console

FF X was better than 9 by a long shot.

Important points for those who have never played these games but are considering this deal:

-FFX is widely considered one of the easiest of all the Final Fantasy games. I.e. the difficulty level is well-suited for beginners.

-Overall, FFX is widely considered above average compared to other games in the series and FFX-2 is widely considered as a low-quality spinoff well below any other game in the series. A typical ranking from best to worst might go something like this:
FFIV, FFVI, FFVII, FFX, FFV, FFIX, FFIII, FFII, FFI, FFVIII, FFXII, FFXIII, dnf:FFXI, dnf:FFX-2

This "package deal" is like selling a new Samsung 1080p 60" LED TV bundled with a refurbished Westinghouse 480p 19" CRT TV.

FFIII and FII should be a lot higher on the ranking!!!

FFIII was epic beyond words.

where's FFVII remaster?

Unless you are using the SNES numbers (which is about 20 years outdated now), 2 and 3 don't rank very high on the list, generally speaking. 2 and 3 on the SNES were 4 and 6 (respectively), and yes, they were good games.

Note the release date is 12/31, which is usually the publisher's way of saying "we don't know when it will be released".

Quote from FrugalBrutal : Why say 'Goodluck'?

More importantly, why say it as 1 word? Noone does that.

Final fantasy x was the best final fantasy hands down.... Then they moved to the "action based battles" and the series became crappy.... Probably due to kids being more and more A.D.D....... Kids these days worthless

I'm probably one of the few people who enjoyed X-2. I didn't really enjoy it from the story perspective, but more for the gameplay and combat system. I liked the fast paced system and the class changing system (despite the fact that the implementation was extremely cheesy). Take away all the clothes changing animations, it added a layer of customization and strategy that didn't exist in any FF game prior.

It was also the first (and only) to support multiple playthroughs. If you were one of the few that went back and did a New Game+, you got multiple copies of each dress sphere, meaning you could build out the sphere grids to take advantage of all the boosts they had to offer.

The classes were pretty cool too and some of them broke from the norm. Near Death + Catnip + Trigger Happy = win.

I've played each game in the series, and they all had better plots than this. From a pure gameplay perspective though, X-2 one was probably the most fun.

It was meant to build on FFXII, which is probably the most underrated/least mentioned Final Fantasy in the series. It had kind of a hybrid battle system (Think White Knight Chronicles) that was new for the series, which til then was strictly turn based.

I have no problem with trying to build on past success:
1. XIII was just a terribly designed game, period. It suffered from lack of direction and crazy overbudgeting. I remember XIII-2 being slightly better in terms of mechanics, but the story was just absurd. Nothing made sense and everything was random and arbitrary.

2. XIII kind of went overboard. It is seriously for people with ADD. There are just way too many shiny things moving all around.

3. Crazy overdramatic. Not in a good way. I think X was the best balance of drama and other elements.

Quote from oyouno : yes the PS4 will be released by then which is why I don't get why sony couldn't just put this on the PS3 and PS4 If they did I would go ahead and buy it even though I hate that it is just minorly improved versions over the PS2 versions.

Porting to PS4 is going to be a royal PITA. It's the first Sony console based on a CISC arch. TBH, I doubt we ever see legit PS3 emulation on PS4 because to the sheer complication of the PowerX Cell 8i.

Quote from ewa6969 : Quote from MOkoFOko : For a moment there, I forgot that they've been switching between Warrior and Quest. I didn't realize IX was ever released--I thought it was canceled--was supposedly supposed to be on the Wii system 3-4 years back. The character designs for FF8 really threw me off at first, but after several playthroughs I've changed my opinion--in terms of character development and story, it really was the best of the series. The intro was considered a masterpiece way back in 1998 I agree with you about the intro to 8. I still love it to this day. I still like to watch it on the big screen and crank up the surround sound. I also have the audio to it as an mp3.

FLAC or bust.
