ORIGINAL POST: An HD remaster of Final Fantasy X/X-2 might be coming to PlayStation 4 in spring 2015, according to images supposedly taken from Square Enix’s French online store and posted on NeoGAF.

Both games already received high defintion remasters in 2013 for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita. It is not clear what, if anything, would separate this new release from those previous ports other than the new platform. According to the store page, the PS4 release will be available in Printemps (French for spring) 2015.

Final Fantasy X was first released in 2001 for PlayStation 2. Critics praised its story, visuals, and voice cast, which included John DiMaggio, known for his work as Marcus Fenix in Gears of War and Bender in Futurama, as both Wakka and Kimahi in the English language version. X-2 followed in 2003 as the first direct sequel in the long-running series of role-playing games. It was also the first game in the franchise to feature an all-female playable cast, the first to have no musical contribution from longtime composer Nobuo Uematsu, and one of few games in the series to have multiple endings.

I wish I played the original Romancing Saga 2 before its misguided remake
The villains of Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven stand in a line.

I’ve played a lot of video game remakes in the past few years, but it’s surprisingly rare that I play one without having played the original version first. Usually, my opinions on these projects are shaped by what came before. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Resident Evil 4, and Silent Hill 2 are all as interesting to engage with as they are because I understand the conversation between past and present. I don’t often dive into a remake without that helpful starting point, but Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven felt like a perfect place for me to try something new.

Square Enix’s latest remake breathes new life into its 1993 SNES classic, bringing its pixelated world into vibrant 3D instead of giving it the HD-2D treatment like Dragon Quest 3. It’s more ambitious than a lot of projects like it, completely rebuilding the original from the ground up rather than giving it a fresher coat of paint. On paper, that makes for a modern reimagining that can better realize a once-limited world.

Final Fantasy 14 eases its inactivity policy due to Hurricane Helene

Final Fantasy XIV players are getting a temporary reprieve from a game inactivity policy that would get rid of player homes if they didn't log in enough due to Hurricane Helene, which hit the U.S. last week. Starting October 2, the popular MMO is suspending the requirement that players log on every 45 days, otherwise their estates get demolished.

This pertains to all players who connect to the Aether, Crystal, Dynamis, and Primal data centers -- which are all North American servers. If your house was already primed for demolition before the change, you can cancel it just by entering your home or doing work on your land.
