25 Mar 2013 by Nightmare
Finally, Square Enix has uploaded a video showing off the remastered version of Final Fantasy X. Models and assets have been updated and the graphics look better than those of the original game. The video also makes reference to Final Fantasy X-2 HD but unfortunately it does not include footage of this title.



The remastered games will also include International content which has been unavailable for some regions. Therefore expect Dark Aeons and Last Mission to be present. Apart from the International content, there will also be a trophy system. This means that you will be awarded with a nice trophy if you defeat the Dark Aeons and complete any other challenging sidequests.

As already reported, the remastered versions of Final Fantasy X HD and Final Fantasy X-2 HD will be sold on the same bluray disc for the PS3 and on separate cartridges for the PS Vita. Prices have yet to be announced.

Info on the designs of Lightning Returns

23 Jan 2013 by Nightmare
Thanks to Japan's leading gaming magazine Famitsu we have some new information on Lightning Returns to share with you. The character designer Toshiyuki Itahana who is mostly known for his work on Final Fantasy IX and Crystal Chronicles, has made some designs for Lightning Returns as well. One of these designs is the mysterious character Lumina who resembles Lightning's sister Serah in appearance. He also designed one of Lightning's outfits which consists of a purple dress, a rapier and a Barano shield.

In an interview, Tetsuya Nomura confessed that Lightning's main costume was supposed to be different. It had to be made out of leather and the arms had to look like spinal cords. The shield and sunglasses were designed by someone else.

One more thing. Remember that scene in which Lightning fights Noel? Since Lightning's task is to transfer souls to the new world, she's faced with the burden of freeing Noel's soul. Well I guess that sets it. We'll post again as soon as we have further information so stay tuned.
