Earlier this year it was revealed that the PS2’s Final Fantasy X would be coming to PS3 and Vita and it was assumed it would be a HD remastering; well apparently that assumption was wrong.

It was revealed by Square Enix producer Yoshinori Kitase (producer on the original FFX) to German Magazine “M! Games” that FFX would be a remake and not a HD remastering as he told the magazine “the quality of the new edition of the model is just”.

For those wondering the difference between a remake and remastering then look at Halo CE Anniversary. Halo CE Anniversary was a HD remastering which meant the game got a graphics improvement and no changes to the story or mechanics of the original from 2011. Now you know what a remastering I’m guessing you can guess what a remake is. A remake is exactly what it says on the tin; it is taking something old and changing it at a deeper level than a remastering so this could mean anything from story or character change etc.

The most likely change if there is to be any in my opinion would likely be a change of the battle system to something like Final Fantasy XIII’s or XIII-2.
