The game runs wonderfully, always being fast and responsive. The cut-scenes remain as impressive as ever, although it can be a little jarring to jump from the game engine to cut-scenes and back again. The central characters have definitely had much more attention than others though, with many of the background NPC’s retaining much of their clunky appearance from their PS2 days, albeit with a dash of fresh paint.

The remake has provided a much needed facelift across the board, with even the UI looking fresh and clean.

The updated graphics look fantastic and have given another lease of life to this childhood classic. But if you can stick with it, you might just discover what makes the game so special that people are still talking about it, nearly 15 years after first release. You must follow her story and help her find the truth whilst preventing the new factions of Spira from devolving into anarchy.Īs previously stated in our PS4 review, the story is somewhat long winded and might take a while to really grab you due to the long build up. Both major factions seek the public approval of Yuna, but she has so far chosen to remain neutral, instead opting to relentlessly search for information about the man she loves. The world of Spira is coming to grips with the idea of a world without Sin, but the conflict is not over as new factions have risen up to take control. FFX-2 continues on two years after the events of FFX and follows the adventures of Yuna and two of her friends as “sphere hunters” collectors of rare remnants of advanced technology. Yet not all is as it seems within the world of Spira, nothing can been achieved without sacrifice, and a mountain of secrets and lies must be uncovered before the world can finally find true peace. Tidus must learn all about this new world, and upon discovering that summoners have the power to temporarily defeat Sin and bring peace to the world, he decides to help Yuna fulfil this goal at any cost. Here he makes an unlikely group of friends, namely a beautiful young summoner named Yuna and her guardians. Humanity struggles to survive, as this creature, named Sin, repeatedly attacks and destroys every major settlement that it can find, as it has for the last 1000 years. Or laugh… AH-HA-HA-HA-HAįor those that have never played the original, FFX tells the story of a young sports-star named Tidus who sees his city get annihilated by a monstrous sea creature and wakes up 1000 years into the future, lost within the ruins of civilization. Prepare yourself for the rush of nostalgia and most importantly try not to cry. Let’s see how the PC port of one of the greatest stories ever told, measures up. We may have already reviewed the PS3 & PS4 version of this HD remaster, but now it’s time for the master race to get in on the action.
