There's more comments on Xbox enhancements than I imagined so let me clear that up. YES, the HD Remaster IS Xbox One X Enhanced as it runs at a 4K.
This wasn't something actually 100% confirmed until recently (some physical copies did not have the enhancement label and the game was not on Microsoft's list of enhanced games until recently) & I frankly underestimated peoples interest in whether or not a game was enhanced. I'll be sure to rectify this in the future. For all intents & purposes, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is enhanced & I'll be sure to include this in the port review of the game.
Seeing people being curious in it at all on Xbox makes me happy. It hopefully means that it's getting some support.
Looking forward to the review of FF XII, your review of these ports and comparison are the best! Congrats for such a work and thank you!
100% both games on PS3-4. My joint fav game with Witcher 3 played it loads on PS2. I have an xbox x though and yeah gonna buy it again for that 4k baby, 4k matters :D Nice video I liked it.
FFX-3 on the way
Hopefully id take more even after that weird ending they added after ff10-2@@diego-lf4dz
I like the faces in PS2 the most. I have it on ps3, ps4, and Switch.
Yeah Ps2 faces are definitely the best!
can you change the music on the switch port like the ps4 port? like play with the original ost?
Yeah, the HD remaster have a kind of uncanny valley vibe to them at times.
RyokuzaLe I think the PS4 switch and xbone only have that feature.
oh yeah? Well I have it on the PS3, Vita and Switch.....mainly because the PS3 version comes with the vita version for free. still counts
If every developer in Final Fantasy history told me it was pronounced Tee-dus I would still pronounce it Tie-dus.
Same
Omg naturally I would call him Tee-dus. Loooool didn't know people said tie-dus (sounds stupid)
@@2PMisTimeless I have Dyslexia so, when my mind saw Tidus it translated it to Titus is the most normal sounding name I knew of. till my brother corrected me that there is a D in his name. The game is full of waves and water symmetry so i though Tid(e)-us was an ok name. too late to change it now. lol. Didn't hear till Kingdom hearts Tee- dus seems like such a silly pronunciation, 11 year old me"you ok Waka?"
Yeah, that's always the drawback of a Japanese developer trying to make a western sounding name and localization coming in and trying to tighten up the spelling. They have a way in mind of how it should sound, but if you never hear it spoken out loud then everybody thought it was like the English name Titus or Tidus, and not Tee-da. Same for Aerith. Sounded out phonetically in Japanese as with the S on the end, but stylized with a TH, yet even in FF7R, the Japanese say her name akin to 'Aeris' when spoken outloud. Even the Flowers in the coliseum have her name written as エイリス or Eiris, which is the way its written in the debug room of the original game as well.
I named my son Tidus and his doctor keeps calling him Tee-dus, but i pronounce it Tie-dus and never correcter her cause she's a doctor hahaha
Welcome to 2021, where people actually don't care bout the cutscenes and rather skip them to move on with the story lol. Man in my days on the PS2 era, we were just craving for all that sheer graphical quality and gorgious CG. It was a new revolunary experience for the new hardware and it was sheer eye candy to us.
I remember playing with a friend on PS2 with excitement when those HD scenes appear... It was 2008 tho.
Thank you for this! It's rare to find port reviews that have actually seem like they've done the proper research into it. It's so great knowing what the tiny differences and features between them are, not just a technical breakdown of the graphics. These videos are an absolute Godsend, considering I am starting a new series on Final Fantasy. You're saving me so much time and making the videos look the best they can, so thank you!
I couldnt agree more. In fact, i agreed so much that i decided to check out your channel since i could see good insight on video games from your comment and also your really nice channel name.
I watched your "The Anxiety of Celeste and its Music" video and i really likie it, really well edeited, the commentary is good and the thumbnail is really eye catching and pleaseant to look at, i have suscibed as i really like your idea of reviewing video game music and need more channels like this. Keep up the good work. 👍
Fun fact! The English voice actor for Wakka in FFX is John DiMaggio, who also plays Bender in Futurama and Jake in Adventure Time!
Awesome!
Now I know that I can hear the similarities 😅
This bit of trivia is actually amazing, haha, thanks bro!!
Also, Tidus is Johnny Test. If only Tidus had a whip instead.
I had never played the ps2 version but as soon as I saw the faces on the HD version I knew there was something not right about it
I put almost 1000 hours into the ps2 version back in the day, and after like 2 hours, you get used to the hd faces. They're not a problem unless you look at them side to side.
It’s the eyes. They all have hi resolution doll’s eyes now, before they were flat and dead, now they pop with lifeless aggression.
@@thegrimm54321 people just like to complain about anything and everything
@@Blernster nope. its just, think of it like someone ruins you absolute favourite place to hang out. could be a pub, a park or anything. and now there is nothing to compensate for that, other than the shitty ruins that you are left with, to remember better days
Tidus look more adult and ps2 version, i like that more.
Great review of all systems - very informative. The ps2 version will always be the classic best, but I do love that I can enjoy this game on the move now with switch! Feels like I get to relive a little of my childhood!
I really dislike how much more child-like Tidus'es face became in the hd version. It goes as far as altering his design since its quite drastic, he looks a lot more anime and younger where as in the ps2 version Tidus had more personality and more maturity in his face. Big deal-breaker for me.
Sadly, they did it again in FF8 remastered. Squall is not the Squall we once knew.
I've been looking for it man, big time fan of FFX here (actually it was my very first PS2 or PlayStation game ever :) ) but I just can't find any differences in Tidus' face between the original and the remasters. Maybe the HD remasters dont look as good as you remember the game looking in your head? I had that experience recently when I replayed the GameCube version of Twilight Princess
Tidus is actually a child, though. He's 17. Maybe when you were younger, 17-year olds didn't look as young as they do to you now.
@@mbvglider - i.ytimg.com/vi/ZkqyCAHmo2I/maxresdefault.jpg 17 year old boys don't typically look like anime babies. Every game has a certain style and that's fine but I really enjoyed the original style of ffx. It was a unique world made by a japanese company with some anime influence like all final fantasy games but with a mature style. They replaced that design with something much worse with less character.
@@christophervinson5088 - i.ytimg.com/vi/ZkqyCAHmo2I/maxresdefault.jpg tell me there's no difference. The PS2 version is far superior, the facial animations in the newer versions were also made more shallow.
very straightforward and thorough, great review of each version dude thanks a bunch
Sometimes I forget why I subscribed to someone but after seeing the sheer amount of info and research you did I can see why I did.
Very thoughful and well documented analysis. I enjoyed it. As a sidenote, these games are rendered at 4K on Xbox One X.
This makes me feel a lot better about re-buying this for my XBone. Reading comments on Microsoft's store made it sound like that version was based on phone port or something. So good to have ACCURATE info. Thanks! Feeling really nostalgic for this game lately and you've been a huge help.
People are just awful on Xbox FOR NO REASON!
Been doing my homework on this game since it came out on the Switch recently, and this is the extremely informative video I was really needing. Great work!
After sinking 60 hours into the switch version without even noticing, I can't ever imagine playing the game anywhere else. Played in handheld mode probably 90% of the time. Just call me Tidus, because it was an absolute dream!
HA! You made me sad now...
I cannot justify a $50 purchase with a 15 GB download code I got it for the PS4 for quadruple half the price I was so excited to have portability but I’m not paying 50 for a 19-year-old game Besides most of my friends have it on the PS4 already and on the PC they don’t want to buy it again
JeremySheer it will go down to 20$ in a few months.
JeremySheer are copying and pasting same comments ?
You do know this game was on the vita a few years ago right?
Ps2 version for life. Auron looks 50 in the remasters! Dude's only 35!!
Anime aging
@@delgande Auron looks older than 35
Dying will do that to ya lol
He looks too old in the PS2 version too. But he is dead right? If that doesn't age you quickly I don't know what will. !SPOILERS!
But being dead for the past decade really ages you
I can't stress how much I appreciate it when people look at and inform people how good/bad a game may be on other systems comparatively. Cuz not everyone is a PC gamer (i.e. me) so while it's nice that the PC version is *"best"* it's also nice hearing how well the other versions stack up too.
...
I mostly game on consoles these days as I can't afford a decent PC. But I did buy this on Steam and it's really lovely, especially given the fact that it's actually DRM-free, which means you can run it with the Steam application uninstalled. I just hope that other Japanese companies will follow the same route when developing their PC ports, and also, Capcom has done well in this regard too in recent years.
When I think of a pc gamer I imagine a fat 40 year old with a ponytail and a beard. I know a few pc gamers and they legit all look the exact same
@@810Lara810 When i think a console gamer i think a 14 year old kid. Most people I know who are pc gamers are people in their 20s who have a job and get on to play some games and chill.
@@lone1259 only PC gamers I know legit are how I described. I don't know many younger people who care for pc.
Great video, I definitely appreciate the comparisons between versions and it would definitly help in making a decision which one to buy.
But the faces... I really can't get over how some of them changed. I'm just glad the PS2 version is still available and that I can at least play it in higher resolution on the pc. Still sad to know that there is no definitive version of the game and there'll probably never be.
(you could've added a Seymour face comparison, he also looks noticably worse in the remaster versions)
Played it years ago on the PS2 and it's probably my favorite game on the PS2.
Tried the HD remaster on Steam later and i had no issues with it except i prefer the character models from the PS2 but the new things like the speedup feature makes up for it.
GG Square :)
Just found your channel about an hour ago. I am glad I did! ^_^
The lack of skipping cutscenes can be a drag in some parts of this game.
As much as I really love the characters and combat in this game it can get a bit annoying having to listen to so much dialogue that isn't really needed to hear, read on repeat playthroughs.
Yes characters even those little screen time npcs, enviroments, lore is key to a good rpg but on repeat runs it can be a bit of a pain in the ass to see them again and not skip or speed through them.
I'm one of those guys who likes to repeat games even rpgs with certain builds or low level runs and see how far I can get without having to grind or use strong/counter items.
This is a great video, thanks for mentioning all these details to us. I prefer the PC version with the mod but I don't always get the luxury of playing at home alot these days. I do wish the Switch version ran a lil better, it looks like a good port regardless but OUCH that price even on Digital is a bit much since I've replayed this so many times on ps2 and PC. But I do strongly recommend this game to first timers of Final Fantasy or people who just got into FF.
Have fun ladies and gentlemen.
Hell ya, great review, you da man Austin!
Great review, I ended up buying the Switch version and as most that I agree that having the boosters wouldn't hurt the game I'm very happy with the experience I'm having in this version. I play both docked and undocked and honestly I have nothing to complain about.
I love the PS2 models, HD ports make them look like they used The Sims 4 to create them.
You are a jerk !
yeah aka Meg Ryan
@@timurkral3781 They messed up the facial animations. There's multiple instances of their faces just being blank in the hd remakes during dialogue scenes where they make expressions in the ps2.
@@calebb7012 nigga what?!
@@timurkral3781 You're a jerk for calling someone a jerk, just for having an opinion o.O
pc with a ps2-face mod would be the perfect FFX.
not on the field, but the non video cutscenes thou.
Switch, for portability, with PS2 faces.
The original models are on Models-Resource. Uprezzing the textures probably wouldn't be too hard
Thank you for making the video so good, with so much information. I really loved it.
Thanks for making this video! I've been thinking about getting this game on Xbox but I know what ports can be like too. The issues you pointed out sounds like it wont bother me and might have been fixed by now anyway, even if it hasn't, it still wont bother me... Boy am I going to lose so much time when I finally buy both FFVII and FFX remaster... and I guess I'll try FFX-2 but I could never get into it for some reason... Anyway, thanks for the insightful video!
The ps2 is still relevant, and even though the resolution is low compared to new stuff, the art design of a lot of those classic games still holds up.
Art Chief Tetsuya Takahashi. His last game with Square before Monolithsoft. You can definitely see his touch in the game based on his earlier work, but especially his later 3D work with Xenoblade.
Shulk and Tidus do look a little bit like each other. But just a little.
Amazing, videos. Thank you very much for all this work!
Never got the PS4 version since I had heard about the music problem. Thanks for sharing that it was patched. I'm interested now
The original PS2 version of Final Fantasy X was meant for CRT TV sets. If you want the original version on a modern TV set, use a component cable.
Or even better, a good upscaler (like the Framemeister) in addition to component or RGB.
Or use the OSSC.
@@EldenFiend Man of culture.
Need converters. Even tv's with components for it, make it blurry and lose color.
Or pcsx2... Really.
Which version should you buy?
All of them
pc for mods
@@Kakerate2 pc crashes for me every 30 minutes or so.
Lol I have ps2. I had the ps3 sold it for the ps4 pro version. Then one day all my save was gone from turning it off the wrong way.
So I brought it for xbox x then beat it again for the 3 time.
Playing on Xbox one X and thinking this would be great for Switch
Thought you did a good job of showcasing things that a lot of us would be interested in. Thanks!
I actually hav a PS2 that I bought back around 2004-2005 but never got this game. It still works but I need to get some good composite to HDMI for my modern TV. Plus I have a switch so I'll probably just get it for that. I loved FF VII and FF IX back in the day so I should probably take this game for a spin.
It's an excellent game. It really feels like the last of the "traditional" (read: PSX-era) Final Fantasy games. The biggest departure from the PSX era is that the battles are proper turn-based instead of ATB. But even then, this opens up the ability to see the upcoming turn order and use that knowledge to your advantage in battles, planning moves a few turns ahead of time.
Best review I have see of this game! Well done. I like the PC version for modifiers and content. But the Switch is nice for playing on the go.
I have the physical copy for ps vita and I think it's pretty good.
Me too , you totally forgot you are on a handheld , right untill the battery reminds you that :) I have 120+ hours in to FFX HD (the vita version) , and can say it is very , very well made
@@yodaoncrack325 Yes , i need few more trophies for the platinum :) it was the first phisical game for my vita (ninja gaiden sigma plus-40 euros) still remember my reaction at playing it for the first time , i was so exited of what is capabel PSVITA

PS2 Tidus looks so much realer
Good stuff my dude, thanks for this.
Amazing video. Congrats and thanks! It probably requires a lot of hard work to pull off and for that we are thankful. Keep up with the great content
I've never understood though how they couldn't make the new model faces have the same characteristics as the original. Tidus looks like a bloodshot version of himself after 3 bad face lifts
😂
I got it day one back in the day on PS2. Loved it. Then I got the Vita version, and intended to play it, but it got shelved. Now I'm playing it on the Switch, and I'm finally going to play through it. I gotta say that I still think it's impressive to have on the Vita. I love that kick ass Sony handheld. If only 30 million more people agreed with me. Who knows how many more amazing Sony games we would have gotten on there?
subbed, this video was extremely well made man, you really did it justice and I really enjoyed my time watching this.
PS2 version emulated on PC all day. The original faces look amazing, snappy menus, no crop on FMV’s, and it doesn’t have those annoying loading icons between cutscenes that totally kill immersion.
It's weird they wouldn't include the boosters, the switch version of FF9 has tons. I don't necessarily care to have the game on ezmode or anything but it is nice to be able to skip some of the more grind-y parts of these often long games. I don't have as much time to play games as I did when I was 16 lol.
Tidas looked more like a real person the in PS2 version. In the remastered, he looks waaayyyyy more CGI unnecessarily. I hated it. It was literally all i could focus on. Since hes the MAIN character.
ok
@Fahim Abdul ok :c
I agree I have the original of FFX and FFX-2
The characters faces did look better on ps2. They look more western where as on the remake they look more like they’re from Japan or somewhere around there
@@dropstopandroll Thats the whole point lmao. They're meant to look like that to give a South asian vibe.
What software do you use to produce and edit your videos? Excellent work!
Keep up the comparisons! Take your time!
I never played the original release and only recently finished the remaster on PC, I never knew that the models were different but wow, Tidus has a much more realistic face in the original version. I can see why fans of the original game weren't happy with this change.
OHHHHH I WAS WONDERING WHY TIDUS’ FACE LOOKED WEIRD IN THE REMASTER 😂😂😂
I have the physical released version for my Switch and I just love that version. I had to download the second part though. I also gotten the game when it came out for my PlayStation 2. But I never bother getting the 2nd part of the game back then. But now that I have the full entire version for my Switch I prefer only that version. Which reminds me I need to get back to that game. Hopefully sometime today I will go back to that game.
Yeah I don't know why the US and Europe release had X-2 as a download when you can get the Asian release with both on the same cart.
the music in this game made me cry. it's so beautiful and they have such deep backstories to them. road to zanarkand while the text displays: "listen to my story.. this may be our last chance" and via purifico being a prison where people were sent to die. I've never seen such depth associated with a soundtrack in a videogame before.
And then you got Lame NBA 2K or just sports games and Fortnite being the same garbage
When I was a kid I quit playing the story mode for FFX about 3/4 of the way through and just kept playing Blitzball. I was the only one that seemed to like Blitzball.
Blitzball is fun when you really get going and able to recruit some decent players. Thank god for the FFX guide back in the day.
i still cry a lot in a FFX playthrough even after i played it like 20times
For those who live in North America, including myself, the HD Remaster versions of Final Fantasy X offer you a choice between the Standard Sphere Grid and the Expert Sphere Grid. The former is the only option in the original PS2 version.
I'm wouldn't call myself a fan of your channel just yet, but I've seen a couple of your other Final Fantasy "Which version of X should you play" videos. I want to say; I really like this series. You do a great job at making these really interesting; almost like a brief history of the titles in question. I can see them being useful too! I can't tell you how many times I've found myself asking "Which version should I play?" when looking at an RPG with multiple ports. So, it's really convenient to have all this information bundled together, in an entertaining package to boot! I hope you continue the series, and I especially hope they continue to do well- cause that's where the real incentive lyies~ ;D I remember you saying, in the FF7 video I think, that these take a lot of effort- I just want you to know; someone appreciates that effort.
I ordered my Switch copy online to get the Asian version, that way both X and X2 are on one cartridge rather than one as a download. Your review was really great, loved all the FF videos
Ivore Snow damn, I should’ve thought of that
Just to be clear, you can change the language settings on the game to be English, right?
@@TimBartja when I put the game in it was already in English, I guess because the switch is region free it just selects the language you pick in the switch menu?
I can’t for Covar $55 for this game just because portability I already own it on the PlayStation 2 I’ll just put it on my four for half the price
JeremySheer lol you really on each comment telling people the same thing, admit it you work for Sony, your comment is copy and paste under everyone comment lol not many people have time in their life to go around doing that
Can you please do a video similar to this but with Chrono Trigger?
Wow, this is a great comparison video with no real spoilers. I actually might give FFX a try now :)
Wow imagine that. Not spoiling a game that is 18 years old
The game is almost 19 fucking year's old lmao spoilers nigga really man I hate you next gen gamers
@@demetriuspowell29 calm down wit the salt boi
i have it on switch. i never played before but it's fun being portable. and it doesn't look like an old game because it has some futures that makes you feel it's a modern as like touch screen functions, select soundtrack style (original or alternate). i guess i'm playing latest version on switch and it worth the price because it's like 4 games in one package.
I own the VIta, ps2, ps3, ps4, and switch versions.. By far of those listed the PS4 looks the best hands down.. switch and ps3 are close but the switch edges out the ps3 a little.. I still prefer playing it on CRT TV though on the ps2
I would imagine the Vita would look better than the Switch just based off the OLED screen.
Tidus goes from a believable, shockingly realistic face to a uncanny valley doll face.
#soulless
Give me a break. It is not anywhere near that different. So dramatic.
@@MazDanRX795 you’re fucking blind dude, they took the best part of the game and completely fucked it up for a cash grab, how are you gonna re-release a game after 10 years and have the most important character look worse?
I have the Vita version and I really like it. I'm not much of a stickler for detail, so it works out for me.
Your comparisons are by far the best!
One of the main things that has kept me from playing the HD versions is that being used to the original NTSC PS2 version, I don't like that some of the backtracking has been screwed with by putting super hard optional bosses in the way. The updated graphics don't really bother me that much, though I do prefer the older music for the most part.
I rememenber when i got the game i was 6 and my family could't believe it when they saw how beautiful the game was lmao it was in 2001 this became my favorite game but damn i was too young for playing it :D
Thank you SO MUCH for making this! And so excellently!
As someone who is thinking about the Zodiac Age for my Switch, will you ever do one on FFXII?
i have been studying japanese for 3 years so dual audio is a must for me. PC is an easy choice. plus the project X mod also lets characters that dont participate in battle still get sphere grid points which cuts down on grinding.
Boy PS2 FFX Is OG and Legendary Game!
If somebody still play FFX till now *You are a Legend of Spira*
Shiro Fantasy @me Bc that’s the only version I have
me lol
@@UnknownPerson-bw5jh hah mine too lol
I have the Vita Version...which i love the most
me too :)
these videos should be watched before you start playing any game! thanks very much for this!
Great Video!
I still have the PS2 version and I bought the Switch Version, and I really like way the PS2 emulation looks on my steamdeck. I am really impressed with how well it held up, especially when
compared to the Switch Version. I am one of the few people that really enjoy blitzball and the deck is my preferred way to play.
I guess I'll have to use the Switch to play X-2. I still haven't played it to this day. I did rent the game one time, from blockbuster.
Oh, also, you can't skip cutscense in the PS2 Emulation, but you can speed the game up. I also play with 2x or 3x original.
Tidus' face is singlehandedly the reason why I always go back for my PS2 disc whenever I feel the urge to replay this masterpiece
I will never play the hd remaster even if it's the last copy of FFX
Real quick about the bit on International with the language options, since I'm a bit familiar with this: Final Fantasy X International in Japan only had English voices, regardless of which language you chose. In fact, the Japanese text chat has been re-translated back to Japanese and no longer reflects the Japanese voice dialogue. This is incredibly obvious if you use an un-dub patch on this version and are playing with Japanese voices, as the Japanese text will be a complete mismatch to the voiced dialogue (for the most part). This is not the case with the PS3, PS4, PC, and so-on and so-forth versions of this game, where the Japanese text once again matches the Japanese dialogue.
As to why they did this, I imagine it has to do with a number of changes made to the English dialogue and scenes. While there's very (and I do mean very) few changes made to the cutscene lipflaps and the like, some of the dialogue had been modified significantly at times and may no longer reflect the Japanese dialogue. There's also one scene where Wakka is laughing in the English version, and in the Japanese version, he's talking during this scene. Square likely translated it back to Japanese to avoid confusion for speakers that have some level of knowledge of English. Not to mention, some of the few cutscene changes where the dialogue doesn't match the onscreen moments (such as Wakka laughing versus commenting to Tidus about what he said), would be awkward.
Not to mention, Yuna's final line to Tidus was changed from 「ありがとう」 (Thank you) to "I love you" (I think the Japanese text uses 「愛してる」 in the back translation, but I can't remember, been awhile).
Oddly, I don't think Square Enix really did this with Final Fantasy X-2 International. If it was, it was much more minimalist approach compared to what they did with X with back translating.
I still get chills from the music. I love this game so much. I wish for 10-3 soooo much. They need to make one but not where sin comes back. A new direction would be cool. Or a prequel too where you get to play as yunas dad.
12:00 Don't worry, I noticed that "you know" reference.
Remastered Tidus face looks like he hasn’t slept in a month.
One thing I did like in the PS4 version is that you can choose between the remastered soundtrack and the original one. I went with the original soundtrack. It was actually Final Fantasy X that made me want a PS2. I remember when I first saw the game how blown away I was.
If you're primarily a PC player I say get that port. The mod mentioned in this video is fantastic. If you love your Switch and play on the go often, get that version. I have PS2, PS3, PS4, PC and Switch versions haha.
I owned the original PS2 FFX International since 2002 and now had the PS3, PS4, Vita, and recently the Switch.
For hardcore fan like I do and bought all the copies for each consoles, I'd say it's a matter of gameplay and style. For instance, the common team I used on my initial PS2 is Yuna, Tidus, and Wakka because Tidus and Wakka does a lot of damage on their overdrives and Yuna summon aeons. On my PS3 and PS4, I tried those characters I don't usually used as my main. For instance, Kimahri, Lulu, and Wakka for PS3, Auron, Rikku, Yuna on Vita, Tidus, Kimahri, Auron on PS4, and my switch main is Tidus, Yuna, and Wakka again just like my old PS2 team.
For me, if the remaster graphics is looks good on you, then go for PC or PS4 even. (Or XBoneX, I don't own one.) But Switch, you can have it on the go or play docked and the graphics and draw distance is much better than PS2 era. Switch wins 1000% of all argument. Goodbye!
EDIT: Yes I don't use Lulu much on my team. Magics is much better on Yuna. The only good magic Lulu has is she have a weapon the has 1mp cost, double cast and double power which is useless and long animation compared to combos of Tidus, Wakka, and Rikku using Quickshot.
Auto save for PC was made because the game had a Square Enix DRM. They removed the DRM but kept the autosave feature.
So is the ps2 version the definitive port to play for the first time?
Ehhh it’s my first time on this for 6 hours and I love it and Playing on Xbox one X
I’m playing through it for the first time on ps2, when I was a kid older friends of mine had it, I played it back then, thought it was ok, didn’t play it again for like 11 or 12 years and now I actually really like it. I’m about 20 hours 50 minutes in
I've had a copy of the HD remaster on PS3 and Vita for a while now and I still can't deciede whether I should play it on either systems or just buy the Switch version. Furthermore my physical copy of the Vita version was used so I didn't get X-2 but the weird part is I can't go onto the Playstation store and buy it separately from the first game and this also seems to be the case with the Switch version as well.
The BEST version is (if you own a legit copy so no legal issues), grab the ps2 ISO and download the PS2 PC emulator. If you have a good graphics card, crank up all the graphic settings. Crystal clear graphics, AA, etc..looks amazing and almost like a remaster in and of it self ..and its the original so no compromises for the purists....
Playing it now in fact :)
Same :)
I am playing with the original ps2 disc.
Are you using pcsx2?
What does ISO mean? Asking for a friend ;)
@@adrianrodriguez-zb3tp adrian rodriguez iso is the name of the game file, you need to select the iso file when using pcsx2 emulator in order to run the game, you will find iso file in your ps2 disc.
All Star :D ok cool thx I’ll keep that mind for the future
Yeah but you're going to want to go for the European version for the expert sphere grid
PS2 faces looked better, Tidus's eyes always took me out of every cutscene
Just picked this up for the PS5. Can't wait!
in hd remaster you can not skip cut scene but the game gives you a feature where you can fast forward those scene by 2x/4x
The best games ever released on the PS2 are FFX, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Tony Hawk 3.
Gta sa + vice city.
Yeah I suppose but I really only like the exclusives and Xbox also had exclusives but I’d always prefer Xbox ports like Crash Nitro Kart for instance like holy!!!
Some sites are reporting the game hits 4k on Xbox One X
That is correct.
It does
Nice, thank you, i already have the PS3 and PS4 Version but i think i'll buy the PC version on Steam too, just in case 😅
It’s be over 20years and I had forgot about the sphere grid to build your player they were crazy big

You made me lose the game. Intentional or not, that's a low blow. Great comparison though!
The International JP version can be played in english, also, there is an UNDUB patch for it. I played the original INTERNATIONAL in English back then and LOVED it.
Interesting
I love these port videos, so informative and deep with research. I wish SE would patch the ability to change classes anytime to the ps4. I have both the PS4 and Switch and I know now to invest n the Switch not just for the portability but the added features. I'll admit I had a lot of trepidation playing the PS4 version knowing job choice was permanent but that is levitated with the Switch and can experiment until I'm content with who can have what. Thanks again, watched the previous FF port videos as well and enjoyed every second. I'm subscribed.

No tests on an Xbox One X? heard it's 4k ad 60fps but not sure.
4K yes, 60 fps no.
4K 30fps. It's only 60fps when that weird glitch happens. X probably could do 60 fps in these games.

Look at frametimes at 1:48.
16,7 ms = 60fps
@@lxlthecrowlxl Go play your Steam games then.
@@UltraCasualPenguin wtf r u on??? Idiot
Personally for me I would say that I liked the PS2 version as it was the first one I played but if I'm to pick what version of the game I like to play now a days. It would be a toss up between the Switch and PC version. PC if I'm at home with the time for a full run through but being able to take what feels like the best version of 10 with me for whatever I have going on is so good.
Originally started and played FFX on PS2 as a child now I am 25 years old Playing the HD REMASTER version on my PS4 Pro. And I’m LOVING IT! Got like 170 hours in so far
