Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster [Switch + XB1] |OT| Once More to Zanarkand

Is it possible the game speed can't be decoupled from the framerate? It's possible the Switch just doesn't have the processing power to render this at 2x speed.
According to people with the PC version, the speed-up feature doesn't affect performance whatsoever.
And that wouldn't explain why all the other QOL features are absent, besides.

That's really a shame. It would have made the monster arena a lot more enjoyable.
Ugh, I didn't know the PS4 version was $20 lol. I have a bit of buyer's remorse now. On the bright side, I've technically never played through X and X-2, despite having them on PS2 back in the day. So I'll get good enjoyment out of it.
But yeah, I could've handled $30 or maybe even $40, but I feel bad getting this for $50 now. I would've waited for a sale or price drop.

Just started, but... the party menu totally used to have character portraits, right? Removing them did not do it any aesthetic favors. Super bland looking now.
It never did. The whole UI of this game was 2000 « graphic design is my passion »
There are still tons of people who are new to the FFX saga. This price point is mostly aimed at them, but virtually anyone who wants to play through all three games again will be able to get their $50 worth and then some. At the end of the day, it's still a very decent price for two gigantic, unique JRPGs and a cerebral Mystery Dungeon-style game on top of that. You can easily get 300+ hours out of this collection; most fifty-dollar purchases don't go anywhere that far today.
Also: because they can. :P
Wait for a sale if you don't think it'll be worth it for you.
Anyone know if all the versions has cross-platform saves? I know the PS3/Vita versions allowed uploading/downloading saves between each other through a dedicated SquareEnix server accessed in-game. Would be cool if you could use your old saves with these new versions/platforms.
They're new ports of the PS4 remaster. Naturally they wouldn't release at its current price.
Guess I'm misremembering!
Officially, there's only cross-save between PS3, Vita, and PS4. With some technical knowhow, it's also possible to transfer PS2 or PS3 saves to PC, but that's about it.

The box art is labeled as an enhanced title. Sometimes the page and store tags are out of date if the developer/publisher doesn't reach out to Microsoft to correct them (Mutant Year Zero was in the same boat).
Normal sphere grid: everyone starts in their own place on the grid and generally follows a set "path", which you can later deviate from by unlocking various gates on the board.
Expert sphere grid: everyone starts in the center of a different board, and can go pretty much any way you choose from the beginning. Fewer overall nodes than Standard.
That is unfortunate. Thought there might be a chance for cross-platform given the custom interface and having their own servers. Disappointing.
Anyone in NA buy a retail Switch copy and used the X-2 code on its own? How does it look on the home menu and does it make getting X on the eShop cheaper? Also you can play X-2 on its own if you have a code I would hope, right?
The Xbox ad says Xbox while the Nintendo one says Switch and Xbox one
It's kind of annoying that the tutorial goes through touch screen controls at the start, even if you're not on handheld. Are there alternative buttons that don't require a right swipe for that?
Go for XII if it has the QoL improvements, honestly I think it's superior that way.
I am torn what version to buy. I would love to have it portable on Switch but playing in 4K HDR on XBOX sounds equally dreamy. I wish our saves transferred and could "play anyway". I seriously am torn. Ugh. Help
I've been putting off buying a Micro SD card for my switch for too long it seems.
Guess I'm forced to now.
The X-2 code is just DLC for the whole X/X-2 HD Remaster package. It's not a standalone X-2.
So it's unplayable without the cart? Why make it a code and not just DLC then?
Do you want portability or 4k?
Regardless, the PC version remains definitive, because of its lone inclusion of QOL improvements.
Switch, handheld. Resolution is nice, but portability + suspend/resume + quick heal is so much nicer.
There are a few gameplay videos, although I had to kinda dig to find them. Here's the game running on X1X. It's in 4K, but there doesn't appear to be any antialiasing; there's jaggies everywhere. I really thought there'd be at least FXAA for this; even the Switch version has AA.
Seems pretty flawless aside from the lack of PC QOL features. Looks and performs great, both docked and undocked.
Tidus' "remastered" face is still hard to stomach at times, but... what can you do, he's only the main character. :P
