I can't wait!!! It should be more than obvious by now - as in, it should be getting annoying :P - but Final Fantasy is kind of my jam, and has been since I was a kid. So, while many wannabe 'hardcore' fans complain that the soundtrack was rerecorded/remastered, and that the interface supposedly looks like butt, and that Square is nothing but a shell of their former glory, blah blah blah... I'm gonna be enjoying playing X and X-2 with Trophy support, and most of all, the extra goodies that came with the International version of the original, which was never released in the US. I've nearly got the Platinum trophy on Lightning Returns already, I've got it on XIII-2, I've nearly grinded enough to get it on XIII, and I've even gotten the metaphorical platinum on Lost Odyssey (which was done by FF legend Hironobu Sakaguchi and his team Mistwalker), which is basically a Final Fantasy*. I can't wait to get it on X and X-2. Now if only they would hurry up and get the retroactive trophy support for Arcade classics, PS1 classics, and PS2 classics up and running already, then I could platinum every Final Fantasy (other than XI and XIV)! Muahahahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!

I'm a bit sad that I didn't win the Lightning Returns contest on dA. I definitely could have used a bigger 360 HDD, and the money (not to mention everything else in the prize list was priceless), but no biggie.

*Yes, I know that Mistwalker has done many other games now, like Blue Dragon and whatnot. But not only do most of them not feel like a Final Fantasy (or have any Achievement/Trophy support), but I don't exactly have the devices to play them all.

I am so pumped for this game :D ( though in Australia it comes out on the 20th March )

Final Fantasy X is my favourite Final Fantasy game ( X-2 definitely not so much XD )

I've got my ps3 and ps vita versions on pre-order  and will definitely be enjoying the crossplay function and trophy support.

Y'know I was a bit surprised to learn that  the remaster came with an updated OST ( X only ) It was a pleasant surprise. I've listened to the re hauled OST on youtube a lot and I can safely say that I like the new OST, you still get the same feel to it as the old OST and I've clocked over 150 hours on my old ps2 version of final fantasy X to complete it in every aspect. I'm definitely eager to do it all again.

I checked out the trophy support list on IGN and it looks like all of the trophies are actually easy to obtain :I Well easy for me and my vast experience XD others might share a different view

I have Lightning Returns, and I've got past the two main missions however I haven't really had that desire to turn it back on and finish it. I spent an entire day doing the first two missions but I think I am honestly over FFXIII, sure I wasn't a real fan anyway . . . But! I did make an effort to pass both XIII and XIII-2 so I'll get this one finished in time.

I've also been meaning to get Bravely Default. I've heard good things about it but sorry to say... I wont be playing that till after I've had my fill of Final Fantasy X and X-2 :3

I did however do one of the worst things a few days ago... I found the Japanese (and English subbed) version of the voice drama that occurs after you complete both games. I watched it. It brought a lot of different  emotions to me at one time. I really wonder if that brings a close to X or... is it the start of something to come.

On a side note, If Square was to remaster XII as well... I'd like that. Sure the feedback in the West is underrated but in Japan that game was popular, and I thoroughly enjoyed the OST and environments in that game.

Honestly I've been  more excited to get FFX/X-2 HD remaster then I have been over FFXIII series, FFXIV and FFXV.

I think that X is one of the best FF games out there. It was definitely Squares last great Final Fantasy game though, and the first game to make me cry XD. I actually laughed when Aeris died in VII... VII is supposedly the best game out there as so many people think, but my own opinion turns more to X and VIII :3

Hope you have fun playing your copy of FFX/X-2 a few days earlier than me T_T Lucky.
