The latest trailer for the PS3 and Vita remasters of Final Fantasy X and X-2 showcases the HD games’ new features, including the additional audio episode and expert sphere grid, and the Iutycur dungeon from the International version of X-2.
In an interview with Joystiq, Yoshinori Kitase, the Square Enix veteran who produced the two remasters, spoke of how much of a challenge it was working on them.
“Some people might argue it’s a simple high definition version of the game released ten years ago, but it had to be more than that,” Kitase said, “because those who played the original version ten years ago, in the space of ten years all those memories become sweeter. They probably remember those games actually better than it was really.”
Some two and a half years after they were announced, Square Enix is finally ready to put the remasters on Western retail shelves next month. You can relive Tidus and Yuna’s stories on PS3 and Vita starting March 18 in North America, and March 21 in Europe.
