FF X-2 remaster: worth buying?

As I didn’t find any threads about it (and I looked twice!), any chance of enlightment about FF X and FF X-2 remaster? Is it worth buying? Heard about some lip synching problems and that the HD isn’t consistent.

and so the loading times, they suck!! I guess the only highlight is that they re-recorded some music and that you can have the 2 games plus some extras in one disc.

The PC/Steam version is just a port of the discs, no?

Loading should be better if SSD’s are used.

Don’t know about that, I’m not a PC gamer…

Useless purchase, if you have already played the original version (unless you really, really like the game, or you’re one of those "I must have its trophies/achievements!"-gamers…), still, Ⅹ-2 is a far better RPG than Ⅹ, all things considered. Not-stuck-on-rails from beginning to end, some nice subquests/mini-games, quite the amount of replay value thanks to stuff like that and the multiple endings.

Also, faces have been screwed up a lot in those HD Remasters, too (heck, Tidus seemed far more expressive in the PS2 version of Ⅹ).

The weird faces were a total turnoff after playing the originals. Characters had dead eyes. The new music wasn’t any improvement either I felt. I also agree with Leon Scott Kennedy that X-2 is the better game. The battle mechanics are really fresh for the time.

I listened to some of the tunes here and there and given the limited edition of the game came with the OST in a BD, with many people complaining about both release form and quality of the arrangements, maybe I should take the dust off of my old PS2 copy instead. Secondly (as I’m a bit of a trophy whore myself XD), I found the trophy collection so inappropriate! I mean, are you really going for this again just because of a bunch of Dark Aeons and the excruciating long Penance battle?
Not in the mood…
:disgust:

The PC version is better, yes.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who found the ‘remastered’ faces as not an improvement. I watched vids online comparing the original and the remaster, and the FMVs didn’t seem that much different to me, but the new faces were a total fail IMO. Glad I can find stuff like that out before I waste my money.

Better than a lot of people give it credit for.

Care to explain or enlighten us then? I won’t say you’re totally wrong on that. I’m having second thoughts about the PS4 improved / corrected / ultimate version, though I still think some graphical updates are "too much" and the redone OST is hard to stomach here and there.

Err… Don’t quote me on this, but last I read the OST to X-2 hasn’t been touched at all, the one in the Remaster is still the original. Meanwhile, Ⅹ HD on PS4 should allow to choose the original OST, if you want that. This is what I remember reading on gaming news websites, at least.

That’s correct: FF X-2 OST’s untouched and FF X has two possibilities of listening, though I find the original PS2 OST much more pleasing.

Rikku’s ass in HD? I’m already sold. Aren’t you?

I prefer her Mix ability.

If you liked the original X-2, the remaster will be fine, it has more dresspheres and other goodies. If you liked X, the remaster is horrible.

Decided to give the Creature Creator a try, I had only been playing the actual game up until halfway through Chapter 5, and the fiend tales are great. Of course I really don’t consider it part of the actual game, which I still don’t like, but it’s fun.
