Of the many early PS2 titles that are now viewed as having helped to define the RPG genre in that high-quality era, Final Fantasy X remains among the best. The 2003 follow-up, Final Fantasy X-2, isn’t as favorably regarded, but Square Enix's decision to include it alongside its all-time-great sibling as one package in Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster isn’t unwelcome. Both games have been brought together on the PS3 and PS Vita a decade after their original releases with revamped visuals, an updated soundtrack and additional content that fans in certain areas of the world never got to experience the first time around.
Square Enix's HD do-over ends up being as compelling a package in practice as it is on paper, and is a beautiful restoration of everything that made the original title memorable while at the same time bringing what is now a classic FF title to a new age of players with visuals and music updated to make it more acceptable by 2014 standards. Better still, it does so without disrespecting the original classic older players will know, love and remember.
