FINAL FANTASY X, which was released in 2001 on PS2®, was the first game in the franchise to feature voice acting. The game earned critical acclaim for both its emotive storytelling and stunningly delicate graphics, and is still adored by its fans. In 2003, with the release of FINAL FANTASY X-2, it also became the first Final Fantasy game to spawn a direct sequel. Combined, both titles shipped an impressive 14 million copies worldwide. And now, after Final FANTASY X and Final FANTASY X-2 were remastered for release on PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®Vita in 2013, the two classical masterpieces are about to make their debut on PlayStation®4 in 2015.
During the HD remaster process, the character models were significantly improved, and all the textures (2D graphics) used for monsters, maps and menus were redesigned as well in order to bring it up to the standard of high definition graphics. In the PlayStation®4 version, the textures for monsters and some NPCs are more detailed than ever, in addition, special features were added to the overall look of the game, creating breathtakingly beautiful visual effects.
Prepare to listen to his story– for the third time.
