There’s been plenty of speculation whether Final Fantasy X for PS3 and PS Vita would be a remake or an HD Remaster. Square Enix certainly seemed to imply that it would be a full-blown remake when the game was announced in September 2011 at a PlayStation Vita conference held in Japan.
However, Square Enix producer Shinji Hashimoto revealed that the PS3/PSV version of Final Fantasy X will simply be an HD Remaster during an interview conducted at the 2012 Taipei Game Show.
It’s somewhat strange that Final Fantasy X-2 and Final Fantasy XII are being left out of the HD Remaster loop for now, since an HD bundle in the vein of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is surely a more attractive proposition to consumers than a single, decade-old game.
Let us know your thoughts on the remastered version of Final Fantasy X, and tell us which other PS2-era Square Enix titles you’d like to play in 720/1080p.

I loved FFX, and I had sellers remorse when I sold off my old PS2 and the games I had for it (to finance an Xbox 360, no less), so I'm quite pleased with the news of an HD remake. The only other PS2-era Squeenix game I'd love to see again is Dragon Quest 8, IMHO a superior series to Final Fantasy. Chances of that happening, though? Incredibly tiny, I'd imagine.
i also enjoyed dragon quest viii. loved the cel-shaded look! unfortunately for playstation fans the dragon quest series has moved over to nintendo consoles for the foreseeable future...
FF10 was one of my favourate FF games. But it was the first that removed the world map :( I Miss world maps... I clocked in over 120 hours in this game trying to kill all the dark Summons. :x
Too bad i'm an Xbox gamer now. Would have been nice to see this game ported. :( :(
Ah I commented on fb about this :/ Just go see my comment there. lol
I've never had the fortune of playing FFX so if I ever I have the fortune of getting a PS3 or PS Vita (:/) I'ma sure get this one!
FFX was one of my favorite FF games and PS2 games as well. Beautiful settings and artwork; solid gameplay, and a pretty good story to boot. I may pick this up depending on the price and release date.
