    The games are great and the graphics are VERY good. Wierdly, Square-Enix did a great job with this port. These two games, over all FFX, are a must for all the FF lovers.

    Only downside in my opinion is how the HD version seems to have taken the color out of the characters faces, which is very apparent in the scene where they sit at a campfire just outside Zanarkand. In the original you can see the light of the surroundings coloring the faces to a yellowish color. In the HD version that's completely gone and it looks a little off..

    But I LOVED the game when it first came out on ps2, and I'm loving it again this time. There's so much stuff to do, if you're willing to put in the work, but if you're not you shouldn't be playing FF games to begin with. As with all FF games the first part of the story is pretty linear, untill at some point you get access to an airship. But I liked the storyline so much it didn't feel like a restriction at all (like it did for me with FF XIII). By now I'm around 150 hours into the game (FFX), and I still have tons of stuff to do before I feel like I've done all there is to do in this game. If you're a bit of a completionist, you can easily spend over 250 hours in this game. For example, my ps2 savegame stands at 672 hours.And then I still haven't started FFX-2.. You get a lot more gaming time for your money than pretty much any other game on the market. That's also why I'm rating it a 10.. How often do I pay 60 bucks for a game I finish in 6 hours...    … Expand

    Great games, greater in hd. New remixed music is good. Any main flaws that exist are due to the limitations of it being a ps2 game, or if in general you are not a fan of the style/battle system/ story telling that comes with a this type of RPG game.

    I love FFX. It's one of my favorite games ever made, and I'd give it a 10/10 any day. The graphics look so much better and more colorful than in the original, and I would say that this is the best version available of the game. That being said, there are major problems with this remaster:

That being said, there are major problems with this remaster:

    1. FPS lag. I know the PS3 is eight years old, but this is ridiculous. Even openworld sandboxes like "Infamous 2" (2011) didn't have any FPS problems. FFX is a linear game, and you can't even move the camera, so why the FPS drops? These drops happen when there's a lot of stuff on the screen, such as when throwing a grenade or using spells.

    2. Load times. In the PS2 version there weren't any loadtimes, except for those half a second cuts when you leave an area. In this remaster those cuts have increased to five seconds. This might not sound like a problem, but it gets really irritating in the long run.

    It seems this remaster was a rather rushed product. These problems do not break the magnificent game though, and I would recommend it especially if you missed out on the game in the PS2 days.

    And as for FFX-2... It sucks. It has always sucked. It still sucks. Don't touch it.    … Expand

The addition of the expert sphere grid is great if you are looking for customization on how exactly your characters progress. The graphics themselves are simply amazing on the ps3 and the upgraded music makes for better more enjoyable gameplay. Many new additions like sphere abilities for each character make it great so you can never run out while training. The addition of Penance as a boss is another great addition that creates a challenge to push yourself farther this time. As a fan I must say the upgrade to blitzball is awesome. That is just 10 the greatest thing is when your purchase this game you also get remaster 10-2 and some side games only released in Japan.

    If your fan of RPG's you will more than likely love FFX and FFX2 even if the girl power theme is a horrible idea in FFX2 getting back to FFX the looks great the improved graphics and the remastered music takes some getting used to but i soon loved it and the comments again about the world leading you down a straight path well yeah for the start of the story the game pretty much leads you down a path which i wouldn't call straight until you reach the calm lands at which point you can pretty do as please, you will be revisiting areas to find new and hidden items, bosses, NPC interactions, hidden areas, summons, finding new player for blitzball, monster capture, so plenty of stuff to do and explore, anyway moving on to Blitz ball one of my favourite mini games of all time think football under water now you will either love or hate this mini game but its in your interest to like it as it pays out useful items if your team wins that is,i love the fact you can recruit NPC to your team as well i spend lot of time deciding what type of team i want. The story still holds up as one of the best ever as does the turn based combat just a quick note if you have never played ffx before be sure to have a guide handy or a friend who played the game combat can seem unfair at times if you don't know the tricks to defeat some of the tricky bosses same thing for goes late game lvling, If some reason you haven't played FFX drop what doing go get a copy and enjoy.

    Moving on to sigh FFX2 don't worry this will be short now firstly great combat system no problems the world and main characters also no problems apart from the way over the top girl power vibe which would not have been to bad if they did it differently, and then my major problem with FFX2 is the hellish trophies and then their is the Leblanc Syndicate aka team rocket no really they are basically team rocket the act the same predictably fail in the same manner and try and steal your stuff all while delivering bad lines and breaking up a story which mite be OK if they had less to do with it and the ending doesn't really help either and the nail in the coffin was ruining blitzball why, anyway the positives again the game looks great and in terms of combat the game is arguably much stronger than FFX so while it sound like i am saying FFX2 is crap it still one of the best RPG's i have played so finally my verdicts on the games FFX 10/10

This character, Tidus, uses this type of narration (in the first person) to reflect his feelings, emotions and thoughts in every situation, which enriches the development of the plot.

The story is exceptional, and after the recent XIII installments (read: tragedies), the throwback to the non-linearity of FFX is outstanding. Add in trophies for those needing some incite to complete absolutely everything in this amazing RPG and you've got a phenomenal package on your hands. The only slight downside is that you can't skip cutscenes, so for those that do indeed trophy-hunt, a little patience is required here and there. Brilliant.… Expand
