We all have a game or two we can always go back to. No matter how many times we’ve beaten it, done all the sidequests, or maybe even gotten that Platinum trophy, there’s just something satisfying about a world, a character, a battle, or something you can’t quite put your finger on that keeps you coming back. For me, and for many, Final Fantasy X is one of those games. It’s a game we call home.
Today we’re launching the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster on PS4 to give Spira one more home of its own. We released the PS3 and PS Vita versions just last year – and if you enjoyed it, and you still have it accessible should you want to go back, that’s fantastic. With the PS4 version, we’ve made sure that no matter what Sony platform you own, no matter where you play, Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 will be there, in one awesome HD package.
All three versions even share the same save data, so if you ever need to change consoles, you can bring your game with you. After you’ve dropped as many hours as I have into this game, (250+!!) that’s hopefully something you’ll appreciate! We also gave you the ability to switch between the remastered and classic tracks for Final Fantasy X, because we KNOW that’s something you wanted.
When my counterpart in Europe and I initially sat down to discuss what kind of trailer we’d drop today, we were actually kind of stumped. The game’s biggest fans know it like the back of their hand, and we didn’t want to rehash any old ground. So we settled on this pretty unique approach, entitled, Lessons from Spira. Final Fantasy X taught us a lot of things, informed some of the ways we look at games even now. This collection of “lessons,” brought to you by Tidus, Yuna, and her stalwart crew of Guardians, hopefully takes you back to some of the ways Final Fantasy X made an impact on you. Have a look.
We even pulled in some shots from the charity art show event we held last year – seeing that filled out wall with all the stories from the game’s fans… It was a sight to behold for me.
The last thing I wanted to mention is that in honor of Final Fantasy X, we’re also releasing a brand new PS4 dynamic theme today on the PlayStation Store for $3.49, entitled, “To Zanarkand.” You can now style your PS4 into that iconic opening scene from the game. On the lower screen, Yuna and her Guardians are chilling around the campfire, and on the upper screen, there’s Tidus gazing out at the pyreflies in the distance. Oh, and your system music will of course change to “To Zanarkand.” I put this on the console in the marketing room, and let me tell you, meetings have never been so poignant. Haha. I kid.
Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster is available now at Amazon.com and other fine retailers for $49.99. For those coming back for a second visit, for those continuing on, and for those who have never been – Spira awaits.
I spent over 2 hours on the phone with Square Enix and Sony… Square pointed at Sony, Sony pointed at Square… Still trying to get this worked out…
What I do know is that the saved data utility (within FFX) doesn’t mention anything about syncing with PS3. It ONLY mentions syncing with PS Vita and PS4.
many people like me bought it to bring their ps3 save data to the new version, if i cant play my saved games form ps3 there is no reason for me to bought it on ps4, i just wasted 50 dlls. this fing sux.
If some1 form PlayStation post that the 3 versiosn share the same data, who would know that it was a lie.
lame.
I was on the phone with Square Enix last night (again) and they have escalated this case, as the marketing content does state that the PS3 version should work on PS4… and there is no support for it currently. It appears someone at Square Enix screwed this on up…
I hope they can solve this with an Update, otherwise we are screwed…
I would buy for sure because I’ve never played FFX. I learned that does not have dual audio. I will not buy, I lost all will, because I like games or movies always with original audio.
If there is a patch or even a dlc with the original audio in Japanese, as with Lightining Returns, I will buy without doubt.
+Kartaphilus Yo, I think you gotta have both copies and move your data to the cloud server to transfer. So open your P3 game, transfer to the cloud, then start your P4 game and pull it from the cloud available from the game’s main menu. I think. It’s really ridiculous if that’s what you have to do, because I as well dumped the P3 version for the P4 one, but I’m thinking I can just go to Gamestop grab a used P3 disc, run home, try this method- then take it right back for my refund. …
Or maybe I’ll just start over.
No dual-audio? What the junk, y’all? At least make the original JP voice-over a DLC option.
Is the PS4 version cross-buy with the Vita. The description is very vague.
