This past September, Square-Enix made a surprise announcement. Even though fans have been clamoring most for remakes of past Final Fantasy games like VI and (especially) VII, the famous RPG developer and publisher revealed that it would instead by working on a re-release of the PlayStation 2-era RPG Final Fantasy X.
Final Fantasy X HD will be coming to PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, Square-Enix revealed, though details about the game itself have been virtually non-existent.
However, we now have a little more clarity on just what Final Fantasy X HD will be. According to Andriasang, Shinji Hashimoto, a famed Square-Enix producer, confirmed that Final Fantasy X HD is to be considered more of a "remaster" than an outright remake. These comments came from the Taipei Game Show, where inquiring game journalists wanted to know more about the mysterious game-to-be.
As Andriasang points out, "Remaster refers to HD updates like ICO and Shadow of the Colossus rather than full remakes."
Nonetheless, if Shinji Hashimoto is indeed working on Final Fantasy X HD, there's reason to be optimistic. Hashimoto has served as producer on classics like Front Mission, Final Fantasy IX and Kingdom Hearts. He's also served as executive producer on titles such as Tobal, Tobal 2, Einhander, Ehrgeiz, Front Mission 4, Final Fantasy IV Advance, Final Fantasy V Advance, Final Fantasy VI Advance, The World Ends With You and Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep.
