It was the Switch version that I recently found myself playing, and it had me thinking - in 2019, is Final Fantasy X still one of the best games of all time?
Originally released for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita in 2013, this bundle has now been ported to PlayStation 4, Windows PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. FF X-2 is not a horrible game, just that it's compared to a masterpiece of PS2 RPGs :).Final Fantasy X is often spoken of in the same breath as the phrase, ‘the best game of all time.’ Released in 2001, it was the first Final Fantasy title to receive a sequel, and both games have since been remastered for new audiences in the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster bundle.
To sum up, considering the current price and the amount of time you will play FF-X alone.I can only warmly recommend this J-RPG. I have to say that on rare occasions I had some bugs in FF-X HD that forced me to restart the game.I was stuck in combat with no menu (prize or combat). I don't know, a J-RPG takes a lot of time to accomplish, maybe if you are a hardcore FF/J-RPG fan, and you have video-game time to spare, give FF X-2 a go, there's still some good ideas here and there, but not FF-X territory. That bold "job" system, back in the time was also quite futuristic and broke the traditional systems. FF-X ending set a tone also that I lost here, FF-X is violent, dark, sad.I think the tone of FF X-2 disrespects FF-X lore and story. It's more fan service with people revisiting Spira and seeing character X or Y.but with far less depth compared to FF-X HD. I feel it was more of an experimental J-RPG targeted at a whole different audience, I think a restricted character pool, an all-female cast was a bold idea and under the right circumstances it can be really a good idea, but the game is a bad execution of that idea. FF X-2 HD is, meh, not up to FF-X, story-wise it's really not a good epilogue for me. The difficulty of the final boss, whilst not horrible, it's challenging, especially if you are not a perfectionist who will seek the strongest weapons and customizations :). The story has a dark, philosophical aspect I really liked, memories, dreams, death, life, friendship, connections.I feel it's more mature, different compared to many other J-RPG.
The story has a dark, philosophical FF X HD is a masterpiece, I found the lack of level, replaced with the grid system quite "avant-gardiste". FF X HD is a masterpiece, I found the lack of level, replaced with the grid system quite "avant-gardiste".
