Final Fantasy X Looks Pretty Great In HD
There’s a lot of ways to do an HD rerelease of a classic videogame. Do you go through and make sure everything looks and runs great, then make even further improvements like Bluepoint did for Sony’s Shadow of the Colossus? Or do you basically just tell the game to rerender at a higher resolution and call it a day like Capcom’s Devil May Cry? Square Enix thankfully put more effort into their upcoming rerelease of Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. (Admittedly, they had lost a bunch of source files and had to redo a bunch anyway, but whatever.) Check out this comparison video between the original SD version and the new HD remaster, making sure to bump the video quality up to 720p or 1080p.
The opening cinematic looks great! I just wish they synched it better, because Tidus blinking out of step looks really weird. If you like what you see, you can preorder now for a free upgrade to a limited edition art book package, which looks to be a book with concept art that also holds the game disc.
