When we first made the decision to divide the Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster Collection into two separate reviews, we were worried there would be too much time in between the two reviews. If those two major issues are ever fixed, the PlayStation 4 version of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster would easily be the definitive package.NA Availability: Digital Download | RetailĮU Availability: Digital Download | Retail If you must have it on PS4 or that’s your only option, I’d honestly recommend waiting for the RNG and background music issues to hopefully be patched soon and the inevitable price drop.
The PS3 version does lack the original soundtrack, but other than that it offers the truest experience of Final Fantasy X and X-2. Even for super fans of Final Fantasy X, it’s hard to recommend a version of their favorite game that has broken RNG, a background music bug, and still no skippable cutscenes no matter how beautiful the game looks or how incredibly fast it loads now. With an MSRP of $50 it’s also a really hard sell to a brand-new player when the other two versions are currently so much cheaper, even more so if they already own one of those two versions (especially since they launched at $40).
Hopefully it can easily be fixed in a future patch.Īs is stands, the PlayStation 4 version of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster is not the definitive version of the compilation. The soundtracks sound amazing, which makes this bug so unfortunate. It appears to have to do with how the soundtrack switching system was implemented, affecting both FFX and FFX-2. For a game like FFX that has a ton of random encounters, you will likely only ever hear the first ten or twenty seconds of a track unless you stop and listen to the music. Unfortunately, the background music system also has a major bug in the PS4 release.īackground music on the PS2, PS3, and Vita versions continued playing where the track left off once a battle occurred, but now this is no longer the case. The Besaid Village theme in particular sounded the best even back in 2001. I actually really enjoyed the remaster soundtrack, but on my current playthrough it’s been nice to use the original. Thankfully, players now have that option at any point during their playthrough. It seemed a lot of people simply outright hated its existence, whereas others would have at least preferred the choice to switch to the original soundtrack. A major complaint of the PS3 and Vita release was the new rearranged soundtrack.
