    This is really just OK. A lot of scenery and graphics are not HD, which is extremely disappointing. The animations are the same choppy old animations, which can't really be easily helped, I assume. Overall, it's just an old game in new clothes. 5/10.

    Final fantasy X remaster: A good remaster of a game we PC gamers never got until now. Final Fantasy X is the last good Final Fantasy game in the series. It was the one which began the downward spiral, after the stellar IX, but it still remained a good FF entry.

    The story is really great, but overly complex. You will need to read about it again after you finish it, to clear things in your head. Still, it will really touch you in the end.

    The gameplay is boring though. There is no challenge, it is literally rock/paper/scissors. Certain enemies are weaker vs certain team members, so you switch them on the fly depending on the encounter. Boriiiinnnnggggg. You just have to suffer from it to see the story.

    If your time is limited, just watch a "movie version" on youtube. Otherwise, it is worth a playthrough.

    Final Fantasy X-2 Remaster: A remaster of a j-pop jrpg trash. Much worse gameplay and unneeded story that in the end spoils the story of X. I won't proceed to spoilers, but rest assured, it would have been better if X-2 was never made. Just don't touch this filth.    … Expand

    There is a serious green screen phenomenon in this HD collection, which is caused by high resolution. It is likely to appear when playing CG, which destroys the original game experience. At the same time, the game will get stuck frequently when playing at a resolution of more than 1080p. But 'FINAL FANTASY X' still is a great game.

    I’ve mentioned before how as I’ve gotten older my passion for turn based games has faded, Final Fantasy X didn’t change that trajectory but it was certainly an unforgettable experience that gets bogged down here & there.
    The story of FFX is truly special & timeless. I’m obsessed with every part of this narrative & haven’t been able to stop thinking about it for months on end.

    The story of FFX is truly special & timeless. I’m obsessed with every part of this narrative & haven’t been able to stop thinking about it for months on end. It’s emotional, fun, heartbreaking, tragic & absolutely worth experiencing in any way you can. I wish I could experience it for the first time again. The soundtrack is AMAZING, remastered or not I love the majority of these tracks & bought the FFX Soundtrack CD as quickly as I could. The main characters are great too, some get more attention than others for sure & while they can’t compete with some of my favorite RPG parties of all time, I still care about them all in their own unique ways. Everybody is memorable which is hard to accomplish (except for the R*cist). The world building for Spira is as wonderful as it is gorgeous despite all the death, destruction & corruption. There’s few games out there than can make you actually FEEL like you’re on a long adventure with your favorite people, but FFX achieves that. I don’t mind the linear locations either! The combat is also good, I think this is where turn based combat tends to peak for me. It’s extremely fast, the animations are on point to this day, there’s some timing mini games required for some powerful moves, all of this makes me think WHAT IS POKÉMON’S EXCUSE? Why are 20 year old RPGs quicker than most modern ones? Sigh.
    Well it can’t all be good, the PC port of this game is not great. I have a stronger PC but why is FFX locked to 30fps (60fps in menus only) with semi-frequent frame drops? There was a few occasions where the cutscenes glitched out & turned the whole screen green, only fixed by me closing the game & reloading it, one of the most important cutscenes in the endgame got tarnished by the screen turning puke green for no reason. It doesn’t help that not every cutscene is able to be skipped if you have to reload the game, or if you die in battle. I’m not sure why the game picks & chooses which are skippable even after you’ve viewed them. Also weird how this feature & other PC features are absent from the console versions of this remaster. The HD coat of paint looks very good for environments, but after seeing the original character models vs the HD ones, yeahhh the originals look less uncanny. If you aren’t an important character in FFX your character model will suffer GREATLY for it, the difference in quality is distracting tbh. The voice acting gets some flack but it never bothered me all that much. While I enjoyed the combat, at the end of the day it still doesn’t grip me as much as a non-turn based RPG does. Some enemies & bosses are a b*tch to deal with & made me consider dropping the game all together. I’m not great at job-based RPGs & may never be. The sphere grid isn’t my favorite thing isn’t the world, I would’ve preferred a regular level up system instead of rotting away in menus for hours. Blitzball was a MISERABLE experience & I never touched it again after the one mandatory match. The puzzle sections of this game can BURN in the fiery pits of the underworld too. I think this game would benefit greatly from a full remake (ideally all in one part Square..) It’s a great experience but I didn’t have as much fun actually playing it as I wish I could have. In terms of RPG storytelling & music, FFX is one of the mandatory standards for this genre. There is room for improvement imo, I would buy a full remake in a heartbeat if they modernized the gameplay. Take my money Square!    … Expand

    The main story and the characters didnt really catch me and the game felt slightly boring for me. This doesnt make it a bad game but if you want a good story I recommend to play FF7, FF8 and FF9.

    Simply put, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster is the most complete package for one of the most celebrated entries in the series. Not everything included has stood up to the test of time, but the sentiment of the whole being better than the sum of its parts describes this HD collection perfectly.

    After the console versions (PS3, PS4, PS Vita), this new porting of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD is definitely the best one available. Whether you love it or hate it, this is the version you need if you want to (re)play the adventures of Tidus and Yuna.
