At the Tokyo Game Show, last year in September, a Final Fantasy X for the PS3 and Vita was announced, with no release date. At that time, it was unclear whether this would be a remake or a remaster. For those of you who wanted a remake (like me) , prepare to be disappointed.
Shinji Hashimoto, the producer of Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, Final Fantasy IX and (currently) Final Fantasy Versus XIII, said at an interview at the Taipai Game Show “It’s being developed like a remaster, but the visuals will be much more improved compared to the original game”. This statement confirms that the game will be remastered, and not remade.
So basically, we’re just getting the old game with better graphics. Just like Ico and Shadow of the Colossus for the PS3.
However, this statement by Hashimoto-san contradicts that of Yoshinori Kitase who said that he will “ensure that the remake of the game will have the same quality as the original.” (Note the word ‘remake).
But since the statement by Hashimoto-san is more recent, I believe that should be followed for now. There is still no release date for the game.
