    I didn't like any of these 2 games, the worst of the saga in my opinion.

    I particularly didn't continue playing, I searched spoilers in the internet and that saved me.

    FFX-2 Is still a trash game even with the HD. It doesn't change the actual game being bad. It just looks a bit better while being absolutely intolerable from dungeon design to script, to plot progression, to voice acting, to gameplay, to core loop, to literally everything.
    This game should be burned and buried in a desert.
    FFX isn't a bad game, so the score is higher than what would

    Will not drag out this review. If I were to review the game in proper working order, it would be on par with most everyone else's. 9/10.

    This port has had the most careless of approaches, and after treatment however. A good month after it's release and 2 glaringly obvious, yet arbitrarilty impacting issues still remain with no public addressing of it's potential remedy coming.

    The music reset issue after combat, and the all too hideous broken RNG system. SE has ducked it's head in the sand to pretend their mishandling of a 13 year old classic, and yet another botched Final Fantasy release tarnishing the brand once again, has not happened.

    If you have any desire to play a "remaster" of these 2 games, and you have the option, be sure to skip this one and get the properly working, and much cheaper PS3 version.

    SE should be pathetically embarassed releasing this subtle mess, especially after claiming their forthcoming attention and care with their flagship Final Fantasy franchise after the laughably bad Final Fantasy XIV v1.0.

    An absurdly mediocre game with hardly any merits to it. I tuned out after the sad violin played out for the 30th time for the littlest of things. A sea of unearned emotions.

    script in both games is poor and the voice-acting absolutely atrocious. Irritating mini-games. there’s already a much cheaper, slightly blurrier version of this compilation out there on the PS3.

    FFX

    While instantly aesthetically displeasing and having bad writing and bad voice acting [really campy b-movie level], it really did seem like it was an 8/10 early on. As the game goes on it becomes more and more abrasive for many reasons. -The random encounters are all rock paper scissors fights where you hit really heavy and so do they, so you have to manually heal your party

    While instantly aesthetically displeasing and having bad writing and bad voice acting [really campy b-movie level], it really did seem like it was an 8/10 early on. As the game goes on it becomes more and more abrasive for many reasons.

    -The random encounters are all rock paper scissors fights where you hit really heavy and so do they, so you have to manually heal your party after every single battle

    -They hype up this big sports game in the story, then when you finally get to play it, it is a rigged match made for you loose badly in, and then instead of that mattering for the story like they hyped it to, the game disappears into the menu at save spots as an optional minigame

    -there are very annoying puzzles with unnecessary menus that pop up anytime you want to do something

    -There are very few enemy types, they get reused often and in the same exact combinations

    -There are very very cheap enemies that can wipe out your entire party before you even have a turn later on, making them harder than bosses

    -the protagonist is exceedingly dumb

    -a sex scene happens completely out of no where with no lead up romance

    -there is a race of people who speak a different language, and you find books that teach you one letter each, and you never piece it together. You are supposed to combine the letters your friends have found on the same game system by combining the save files. So you go through the game watching all this dialogue in a different language annoyed that you can't understand it and are missing parts of the story.

    -the airship in this game is unusable

    -they didn't bother to lip-sync the characters to the english audio

    -an entire level where you have to constantly be on edge for lighting to hit you

    -and you can't skip cutscenes

    This last point brings me to where I quit. After a 5 minute long cutscene, I was faced with a boss that killed one of my party members before I even had a turn, and then later killed them all in one hit. When you get a game over, it doesn't offer to reload from the start of the fight or the cutscene OR your last save file. It goes back to loading the main menu. You have to click through to prevent the opening movie to play, load your game, walk back to where you were, and sit through the same poorly written, poorly acted cutscene again, only to face the same poorly designed boss.

    I truly do not know why this game is highly regarded, I am more disappointed in the community than the game.

    FFX-2

    At first it seemed pretty cool. I could play through as a giant crab if i wanted to. The job system is cool. I love their goth friend. The way they tease each other is funny and lighthearted. But the more I played, the more sloppy the design became. I went to a place with a mission, it didn't tell me where that mission was, eventually I encountered a red "go there!" arrow on my mini-map, and when i went where it told me, there was nothing to do there. So I tried another mission and it involved going through an entire level you already went through in FFX just to have someone run away so you have to backtrack through that entire same level again, all with random encounters. This is a sloppy mess.

    Never experienced such a demanding game for a jrpg for wasting your time just to get stronger (celestial weapons, optional aeons, blitzball). you MUST read walkthrough for this game during your gameplay, so that you won't miss ANYTHING.

    Отсутствует полная русская локализация. Нет озвучки!

    2 of the worst games in the series. Bad dialogue, interminable cutscenes, noticeably bad writing ,saccharine melodrama, uninspired music, bad level design, weak and cheesy plots. Just pass on these and the 13 games. All 5 are made by the same development team.

    That's how remakes should be done. If you never played it before, even the price is right for more than 80 hours of playtime.

    FFX is still one of the best oldschool JRPG’s ever made. If you haven’t play this one you should totally pick up this bundle. [Jul 2015, p.067]

    While it's still an essential part of any JRPG fan's collection, we recommend grabbing it on PS3/Vita instead. [Issue#162, p.104]
