Back at the Tokyo Game Show in September, Square Enix announced that an HD version of Final Fantasy X would be making its way to the PlayStation 3 and the Vita. It was unclear if the game would just be an HD upgrade, or a full remake with new content. Now we know.

Recently at the Tapai Game Show, Shinji Hashimoto of Square Enix confirmed that the game would an HD remaster saying that, "the visuals will look much better compared to the original."

No word on a solid release date yet.

Thanks to PRjumpman124 and Veks for the news tip!

I'm looking forward to this! FF X may be my favorite Final Fantasy game.

A little sad it's only for the PS3 and Vita :-(

Give me a release date and I'll tell you what I'm doing that day.

It better be more than just a mere resolution increase.
by The Doctor Sunday, February 05, 2012 at 05:55 PM

That's what I assumed. I didn't think they were going to remake a game from last gen that still looks pretty great by today's standards.

Could you imagine if the entire game was done with the prerendered CG cutscene graphics!?
by reidloS doG Sunday, February 05, 2012 at 06:00 PM

Awesome stuff!! FFX is one of my favorite games of all time!! God I want to know the price and release date.

I never really got into this game when I was younger. Though I also sucked at most games back then. :P I'm looking forward to being able to give it the play that it deserved.

Hey Kyle, you got a typo, "The game would an HD remaster....." Instead of "The game would be a HD remaster..."
