I know when I bought FFX for the Vita, it came bundled with a digital download code for FFX-2. At the time when I bought it, it wasn't sold separately, they only had those bundles. I find it odd though if they are selling them separate now, considering that it still comes as a bundle on the PS3 and PS4.
Right, that's why it's sold separately on the Vita. The vita cartridge only has FFX (I assume due to memory constraints), and FFX-2 is download only on the Vita. So since you can have FFX without X-2 (or vice versa, for whatever reason), they need to split them and offer them separately for the Vita. But on the PS3/4, X and X-2 are on the same disc, so if you have one you always have the other, so there's no reason to sell them separately.

See, half this problem could be solved if games were released with Dual Audio more frequently.

New they're only bundled I think, but if you get a used physical copy of FFX, I'd say the chances that the X-2 code is still available are pretty low...
Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification, I was a little confused. XD

Mostly it looks like all they did was darken the colors on the characters, but also apparently LIGHTEN the environment.
Also, I think they minorly altered the facial structures?

When X looked bad...it was using it's battle models and no amount of uprezzing would save those.
That said original X is a beaaauutiful looking game in many places.
Remastering that game just reeks of "cash cow" more than any other one they've done.
Least they could have done was give us online multiplayer blitzball.

I do think the main character models look better, but it looks really grating when they didn't even bother updating most NPCs or barely touching on them. It looks very out of place.

Pretty sure Europeans had the international version. I hear one of the defining things for that were the Dark Aeons I think an my copy had those.

True, X had some wonderful graphics, even at its time.
Honestly, I don't mind the HD Remaster... but I probably would have preferred... you know... a full 'remaster'. As in, really update the graphics or character models. With their current technology. I'm sure they could make the characters look pretty cool and all that.

As Pierre said, AMERICA never got it. What with the original release of X on the PS2 being delayed for so long in Europe, they just decided, "Fuck it. They released an International version in Japan, let's just localize that one to Europe." so the European players always had the 'Expert Sphere Grid' and Penance (joy) and Dark Aeons (joy). (Though I HATED how you had to watch the tutorial for the Sphere Grid, even if you were using the Expert one... which is different from the one in the tutorial)
Though when it came to releasing X-2, we got the regular version. Btw, I read that the Festival-Goer (or Festivalist? From what I've seen?) dresssphere is based on the concept that an 8 year old apparently drew some time and they decided to add it. That's cute.

Worst part is, it's completely random. Even if being nice to the Faery worked last time, when you get another one (for some reason), she suddenly likes you when you tell them that you'll break their neck if they don't come along or give you money... worst part of SMT IV is the beginning. Once you get out of Naraku's lower levels, it's better.

Plenty of pre-order goodies for the normal version, from bags to posters and key holders, depending on where you buy it. And nope, Play-Asia (obviously) isn't one of the shops participating with this.
Ah. Hmmm, none of that stuff looks like anything worthwhile for me. Then I'll just wait post-Japanese release. Hell, that MIGHT give the localizer some time to reveal whether their localized version will have Dual Audio or won't. (I don't want this to return into a repeat of Lightning Returns... though f*** the localized version of that, the translation sucks)
Besides, keychains? Eh, I work in a gamestore. Chances are, shortly after the game is released outside of Japan, we'll have merchandise coming in.

They upped the emotional range of Adam too, simply by making his sunglasses retractable and often during conversations with people he knows to create more empathy... his acting is also a tad better, and man, the world-building and side-quests just make me completely immersed. I LOVE this game so far!
Also, completely different subject but I occasionally watch Kinda Funny Gamescast and saw their top 7 games list and now I wonder, does anyone here agree that Final Fantasy VI was the best one in terms of systems and story? I have only personally completed IV and played a bit of VII but now I'm kinda eager to make a retro playthrough of VI.
And finally on a third note, I'm almost through Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. I seriously can't decide whether I should continue with Conquest or Revelations because I heard Birthright is the best one in terms of story and it's... well it sucks ass to be completely upfront about it.

Absolutely
Birthright pretty much does have the best story in Fates, yeah, so if a bad plot is a deal breaker, you may want to pass on the other games

Very much agree with that, yes.
The story was good and the pacing overall was pretty decent. I do not recall any 'down' spots, as I call them; where the game is suffering in quality and it feels boring to play through. I certainly could do without a few things (like Locke being suspicious of Celes later on, but that's a minor thing for me), but it did well in introducing the characters, villain, setting the world and going on.
And I've said it before, Kefka is my favorite FF villain to date. He's funny, goofy, but also horribly scary and intimidating. He comes across as a goofy, minor villain in the beginning, but you can see from his actions that he's a huge threat. With no scrupel, either. And when he steps up and becomes the villain, including attaining Godhood, destroying the world practically and reigning for a while - which most villains only want to do, but don't achieve - he's really scary. Hell, he uses his Light of Judgement on the world when he's bored.
Keep your Sephiroths, Kefka was creepier.
Characters are good, too. Though... I have to say that I feel they could have cut down on some of them. I mean, Relm and Strago don't serve much purpose outside of... Thalasa, their original meeting place, and when they join. Outside of the whole Relm-Shadow thing, which was never officially stated to be what most people assume, Relm and Strago don't serve much purpose. Also, Umaro, Mog and Gogo have no purpose. Period.
System-wise, I admit... I can only play VI when it's emulated and with a turbo speed button. Otherwise, the battles are too slow for my tastes. They could have altered or fine-tuned some things, like Cayenne's Bushido or try to make Gau's Rage make some sense. But it was good at the time and still holds up well for me.
And I do love how the second half of the game basically allows the player to pick which characters they want to bring along again.
Though I can't recall a time where I played through without bringing everyone, except the above mentioned unnecessary ones.
I'd never not get Locke! I totally ship him with Celes.
Yeah, there's good reasons why VI ties as my first place.

Started Mankind Divided as well. It's good, but holy crap this game is CPU intensive. I can barely get 35 fps at 720p on medium, and that still has a hell lot of stuttering. For reference, my PC was able to run Human Revolution at 1080p 60fps on high with almost no drop in framerate. Mankind Divided also has some issues with loading the right assets at the right time.
That, or this guy just has an aug for floating laptop.

The PC port is horrible. I looked up the benchmarks for pcs similar to mine and it seemed it couldn't even hold it to 30fps at semi-high settings and on PC and FPS games sub60 is a complete no-no for me. I did the smart thing and got it on my PS4 instead.

1. Yuna's Festivalist dressphere can be a freaking gamebreaker early on! She has a chance of casting -Ga spells?
2. I am delighted to see that the slightly wonky controls have not been improved.

The franchise is mostly dormant now though. Once in a couple years a new concert by the voice actors, I think. The most recent game appearance of Sakura Wars was probably in last year's Project X Zone 2...

I'm PISSED to hear that, somehow, a leak was made about the earlier version of the video and screenshots of the rivals.
But still, happy to see them all now. They all look great!
The voices fit well - the younger sister, Hanako, has SUCH an annoying voice. It's PERFECT!
And Kizana is one of those idiots who thinks R+J is a romance to aspire... I will enjoy killing her in the game. Let her fall off the 'balcony' (read: roof).
