Squenix has gone back to the engine and they’ve sharpened the resolution up yet again to a full, vibrant 1080p.

To be fair, this isn’t a total copy and paste of last year’s PS3 version.

So where does the hiked up price point come from? In terms of content, it has everything that the original compilation had, which means you get two massive JRPGs, plus additional “International Edition” content and some story extras like an audio drama, and new cut scenes. Having said that, this is the exact same HD compilation that came out last year for the PS3, only now it’s CAD$60, if you’re not willing to wait for the inevitable price drop a few months from now. Final Fantasy X-2 was not as critically well received, but it’s got some incredibly solid, hub-based gameplay that stands the test of time, even if the “girl’s night out” vibe of the story didn’t appeal to everyone.

First off, it does need to be stressed again and again that Final Fantasy X is one of the classic JRPGs of the genre, and anyone that’s looking for a big, sprawling adventure with turn based battles, drama, romance, angst, likable characters and some truly inspired art direction will enjoy this game.
