The '''''Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster''''' is a remastered compilation of ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]'' for the [[PlayStation 3]], [[PlayStation Vita]], [[PlayStation 4]], [[Steam (service)|Steam]], [[Nintendo Switch]], [[Xbox One]], [[iOS]] (Japanese only) and [[Android (system)|Android]] (Japanese only). The initial versions for PlayStation 3 and Vita were announced at the Sony Press Conference in Japan on September 14, 2011, as part of a 10th anniversary special, and were released on December 26, 2013, in Japan and March 2014 elsewhere. The compilation is based on the [[International Version|International version]] of both games. It was initially announced that [[Square Enix]]'s 1st Production Department would develop the port, but later it was announced the remaster was done by [[Virtuos]].<ref>{{Refwebsite| page url = https://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/01/06/final-fantasy-xx-2-hd-remastering-was-outsourced| page name = Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remastering Was Outsourced| site url = https://uk.ign.com| site name = IGN UK| access time = 17:02, February 21, 2020 (UTC)}}</ref>

The two games are available together on a single Blu-Ray disc for the PlayStation 3 version. The Vita versions were released individually in the Japan and Asia regions as ''Final Fantasy X HD Remaster'' and ''Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster'' respectively; outside of these regions, only ''Final Fantasy X'' has a physical release, but it includes a download code for ''Final Fantasy X-2''. Those who pick up both ''Final Fantasy X'' and ''Final Fantasy X-2'' on PlayStation Vita can swap saves between systems to transfer data between the standalone Vita version and the PlayStation 3 counterpart. The Vita version also has a feature unique to its hardware called "Quick Recovery", enabling players to access a menu shortcut for magic and restorative items to instantly heal their party by swiping the console's touch screen.

''Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster'' was released for the PlayStation 4 in May 2015. In May 2016, it was also released on Steam, with new features such as autosave and optional in-game boosters, including high speed and no encounters. The remaster was ported to [[Nintendo Switch]] and [[Xbox One]] in April 2019, retaining the additional features implemented in the Steam release, while the Switch version also reintroduced the Quick Recovery function from the Vita version, similarly mapped to the console's touch screen.

==Story==
{{See|Final Fantasy X#Story|Final Fantasy X-2#Story}}
{{Quote|In ages past, the world of Spira experienced a golden age of perfection, brought about by an advanced civilization through the use of wondrous machinery called machina.<br/><br/>However, around one thousand years before the present day, a colossal menace known only as "Sin" appeared and sundered all before it. Though a line of summoners have since brought Sin low many times, it inevitably returns in an unending cycle of destruction. In the face of this ever-pervasive threat, the people of Spira flocked to the teachings of Yevon, which tell that Sin is a punishment to those who relied overly on machina.<br/><br/>Tidus is a young Blitzball star that mysteriously finds himself in Spira after his home city of Zanarkand is destroyed by Sin one thousand years in the past. Believing Sin to be the key to returning home, Tidus joins a young summoner named Yuna on her pilgrimage to destroy Sin and bring about the Calm.|Official site description for ''Final Fantasy X''.<ref name="tagline"/>}}

{{Quote|Two years have passed since Sin was destroyed. Since her victory and becoming a high summoner, Yuna has lived on her childhood home of Besaid Island. Then one day, Rikku comes to Besaid and shows Yuna a sphere. The recording is of him. Or is it?<br/><br/>Yuna can't tell whether it's him or just someone who looks like him. If it is him, Yuna might be able to see him one more time. No matter what the truth may be, the answers she finds may change things forever.|Official site description for ''Final Fantasy X-2''.<ref name="tagline"/>}}

==Differences from the original versions==
[[File:Standard High Definition Comparison - FINAL FANTASY X X-2 HD Remaster|320px|right|Comparison between original and HD versions]]
{{See|Final Fantasy X version differences|Final Fantasy X-2 version differences}}
The games have improved maps and character models and textures, as well as improved lighting, shadowing and enhanced pre-rendered movies with better quality in high definition. [[Achievements|Trophies/achievements]] are added for both games, and all controllable and other major characters have new character models, with [[Fiend (Final Fantasy X)|monsters]] and minor characters having rearranged textures to improve quality. The game now plays at 16:9 widescreen, and some scenes have been adjusted with different camera angles to accommodate for it.

Despite all the new improvements, ''Final Fantasy X'' does not have an option to skip cutscenes. The FMV scenes are not re-rendered and are cropped from the original 4:3 aspect ratio to fit the widescreen perspective. The games still possess the graphical errors like {{foot|hands going through the sleeves, ribbons not folding properly|[[File:Isaaru's end of pilgrimage.jpg|250x250px]]}}, or hair going through the back when a character is moving their head.

As the remasters are of the games' [[International Version|International versions]], they have some new additions for North American and PAL region players. The ''Final Fantasy X International'' was never released in North America, and includes a new [[Sphere Grid]] option, new optional [[boss]]es and new abilities. ''Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission'' was a Japan-exclusive release, and adds new [[dressphere]]s, a [[Creature Creator]] system, a [[Fiend Arena]], and a new dungeon: [[Iutycyr Tower]]. Unlike the original version of ''Final Fantasy X-2: Last Mission'', where one had the option to load a save file from ''Final Fantasy X-2'', the ''HD Remaster'' automatically assumes the player has a perfect 100% complete save and play-through with the [[multiple endings#Final Fantasy X-2|perfect ending]] when cutscenes occur in ''Final Fantasy X-2: Last Mission''.

Around 60 tracks in ''Final Fantasy X'' are remastered, and both games have improved voice audio.

[[File:FFX-2-PS3-PS4-Comparison.png|thumb|left|Comparison of graphics between PS3 and PS4.]]
A "Quick Recovery" feature is added in the PlayStation Vita version. The player can quickly restore the party's [[HP (stat)|HP]] to full using the minimal amount of [[Potion (Final Fantasy X)|Potions]], [[Hi-Potion (Final Fantasy X)|Hi-Potions]], or [[Wht Magic (Final Fantasy X)|White Magic]]. The Quick Recovery menu can be accessed by sliding the Vita touchscreen. This feature also appears in the Nintendo Switch version.

[[Kazushige Nojima]] also wrote ''[[Final Fantasy X -Will-]]'', a "new episode" for the remaster, a 30–minute audio drama at the end credits featuring a new cast and new character voices.

The PlayStation 4 version has further enhanced graphics and the ability to choose either the original and the remastered soundtrack in ''Final Fantasy X''. This version has cross-save functionality and remote play–the player can play the game on the PlayStation Vita via Remote Play function from the PlayStation 4. The PlayStation 4 version was released with a glitched random number generator affecting numerous aspects of the game, as well as a glitch that makes the background music restart after each [[Battle (term)|battle]]. Square Enix has since released a 1.01 patch that resolves these issues.<ref name="blog">{{Refwebsite| page url = http://na.square-enix.com/us/blog/final-fantasy-xx-2-hd-remaster-ps4-patch-update-0| page name = Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster PS4 Patch| site url = http://na.square-enix.com/us/blog| site name = Square Enix US Blog| access time = 17:02, February 21, 2020 (UTC)}}</ref>

The Steam version introduced autosaves and optional in-game boosters.

==Content==
[[File:FFXX2_HD_Title_Screen_PS4.png|thumb|The content selector menu (PS4).]]
There are five options in the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and Steam versions (six in the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions):
*''[[Final Fantasy X]]''
*''[[Final Fantasy X: Eternal Calm]]''
*''[[Final Fantasy X-2]]''
*''[[Final Fantasy X-2: Last Mission]]''
*[[Final Fantasy X -Will-|Credits & Bonus Audio]]
*Additional Credits - Only available in the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions, displays Square Enix and Virtuos staff members who worked on this port.

The content can be accessed from the main menu.

In the retail Nintendo Switch version, ''FFX'' content can only be selected if it's played on a Game Card while ''FFX2'' content, plus the bonus audio, can only be selected if it's installed to the system. Meaning that there are three options for ''FFX'' and four options for ''FFX2''.

In the Xbox One version, on any of the title screens, including the main menu, the current signed-in profile is shown on the top right. Pressing {{Button|xbox|x}} will change profiles.

==Development==
The idea for the remastering came about when Square Enix met with some of the voice actors during the making of ''[[Final Fantasy Type-0]]'', and realized they hadn't met since the making of ''Final Fantasy X'', and how it would be fun to do something for the game's tenth anniversary. [[Yoshinori Kitase]], the director of the original game, has cited his son as a motivation for the remake, as his son was at the age where he was too young to have played the original games when they were released, and only knew [[Tidus]] and [[Yuna]] through ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008)|Dissidia Final Fantasy]]''. Wanting his son to play one of his creations motivated Kitase to push to have the games available for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.<ref>{{Refwebsite| page url = https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-02-17-a-chat-about-that-final-fantasy-7-remake| page name = The director of Final Fantasy 7 on the remake everyone wants| site url = https://www.eurogamer.net| site name = Eurogamer| access time = 17:02, February 21, 2020 (UTC)}}</ref>

Character designer [[Tetsuya Nomura]] negotiated with various people and got shown green light for the project, but as staff was still devoted to the ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' project, the remake wasn't possible right away.<ref>{{Refwebsite| page url = https://www.gematsu.com/2013/03/final-fantasy-x-x-2-hd-remaster-is-70-percent-complete| page name = Final Fantasy X| site url = https://www.gematsu.com| site name = Gematsu| access time = 17:02, February 21, 2020 (UTC)}}</ref> The remastering wasn't completed in time for the game's tenth anniversary, but Yoshinori Kitase has joked they lucked out in making it for the ''Final Fantasy X-2'' anniversary instead.<ref name="poly">{{Refwebsite| page url = http://www.polygon.com/2013/3/27/4152076/final-fantasy-x-and-x-2-hd-questions-answered| page name = A few questions and answers for the Final Fantasy X and X-2 HD remasters| site url = http://www.polygon.com| site name = Polygon| access time = 17:02, February 21, 2020 (UTC)}}</ref>

During the Square Enix Presents livestream at E3 2013, Yoshinori Kitase and [[Motomu Toriyama]], director of ''Final Fantasy X-2'', mentioned the reason they wanted to remaster ''Final Fantasy X'' and, in turn, ''Final Fantasy X-2'': earlier ''[[Final Fantasy series|Final Fantasy]]'' games were playable on current generation consoles via [[PlayStation Network]] and various remakes, but as ''Final Fantasy X'' was a PlayStation 2 game, and only the first generation of PlayStation 3s had backwards compatibility with PlayStation 2, ''Final Fantasy X'' was seen as an ideal candidate for a remastering.<ref name="livestream">{{Refwebsitedead| page url = https://projectcrystallis.org/square-enix-members-exclusive-final-fantasy-x-x-2-hd-remaster-interview/| page name = Square Enix Members Exclusive Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster Interview| site name = Project Crystallis| access time = 20130720104924}}</ref>

During the livestream interview, it was mentioned that, learning from the ''Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster'' project, Square Enix has realized they need to keep good backups of game data in case they want to remaster it in the future. Back when ''Final Fantasy X'' was first developed, development was open and the planner could develop whatever he wanted, but in modern game development a lot of the process is tool-based and polish-focused, and the planner is not be able to put his own flavor into the game. Square Enix hopes they can merge the old ways with using the new tools.<ref name="livestream" />

On May 29, 2013, Japanese gaming magazine ''[[Famitsu]]'' revealed that remastering of ''Final Fantasy X'' was estimated at 80% completion, while remastering of ''Final Fantasy X-2'' was at 65% completion.<ref>{{Refwebsite| page url = https://www.siliconera.com/famitsu-provides-development-status-update-on-final-fantasy-games/| page name = Famitsu Provides Development Status Update On Final Fantasy Games| site url = https://www.siliconera.com| site name = Siliconera| access time = 17:02, February 21, 2020 (UTC)}}</ref> In the July 3 issue of ''Jump'' magazine, it was revealed that Kazushige Nojima would be writing a post-credit 30–minute story with new voice cast and characters.<ref>{{Refwebsite| page url = http://gematsu.com/2013/07/final-fantasy-x-x-2-hd-remaster-has-new-30-minute-episode| page name = Final Fantasy X| site url = http://gematsu.com| site name = Gematsu| access time = 17:02, February 21, 2020 (UTC)}}</ref> For a long time Square Enix was unsure of whether to include ''Last Mission'' since they considered it a separate game from ''Final Fantasy X-2''. On October 9, 2013, it was confirmed that both the ''Final Fantasy X-2'' prologue, ''[[Final Fantasy X: Eternal Calm]]'', and ''[[Final Fantasy X-2: Last Mission]]'' would be included.<ref>{{Refwebsite| page url = http://novacrystallis.com/2013/10/final-fantasy-xx-2-hd-remaster-hits-japanese-store-shelves-on-december-26th/| page name = Final Fantasy X| site url = http://novacrystallis.com| site name = Nova Crystallis| access time = 17:02, February 21, 2020 (UTC)}}</ref>

When asked about the International versions having the option of using Japanese voices with English subtitles, Yoshinori Kitase said that is not possible due to PlayStation Vita not having the capacity for it, and they aim for the two versions to be as identical as can be.<ref name="livestream" />

===Graphics and gameplay===
[[File:FFX widescreen hacked error.jpg|thumb|Incorrect character animations in a cutscene from the original ''Final Fantasy X'' with widescreen hacked.]]
The majority of the work for the remastered version was deciding what should be left alone and what should be changed. After the actual production began, all that was left was to check and approve the rest of the creative process. The team wanted to improve the art quality with fixes such as color correctness, backgrounds, and resolution.

For both ''Final Fantasy X'' and ''Final Fantasy X-2'', many of the character models are remade from the ground up, including all the controllable characters. The other characters and monsters had their textures rearranged to improve quality. For the 16:9 support, the camera was adjusted to have the visuals work in 3D scenes, but the pre-rendered background scenes required a lot of redrawing and adding on to get them to look correct. With the cut scenes, if the view was simply extended to 16:9, things like people on the sides waiting for their "cue" to enter, would become visible.<ref name="poly" />

Recreating the original gameplay proved to be difficult. The gameplay had to be adjusted to match with the improved visuals, but care was taken to ensure the player's impression would remain the same. Not all of the data from the original development project remains, and Square Enix worked with an external development studio (Virtuos Games in Shanghai, China.<ref name="Virtuos" />) and an internal staff for the project with the internal programmers handling data salvage and repair. Yoshinori Kitase has said that in some ways, it'd been easier to rebuild some of the assets from scratch.<ref name="poly" />

===Music===
{{See|Final Fantasy X HD Remaster Original Soundtrack}}
At first the plan wasn't to have the music updated, but when the sound team heard about the project they approached Yoshinori Kitase and asked if they could remaster the soundtrack. The aim was to build on the experience of the original music and craft something that would be both different but welcoming for returning players.<ref name="polygon">{{Refwebsite| page url = http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/18/5498016/final-fantasy-10-hd-remastered-soundtrack| page name = Spira Unplugged: Behind Final Fantasy 10 HD's remastered soundtrack| site url = http://www.polygon.com| site name = Polygon| access time = 17:02, February 21, 2020 (UTC)}}</ref>

Because the PlayStation 2 version used a built-in tone generator with limited memory capacity, music director, Keiji Kawamori, wanted to fully re-master the soundtrack using current technology to match the re-mastered graphics. The initial plans included providing an option to switch between the old and new background music, but technical issues prevented this feature from making it into the final PlayStation 3 / Vita versions,<ref name="polygon" /> though the feature was added for PlayStation 4, as well as the PC Steam version.

Most tracks have had conservative changes by being "cleaned-up", but some tracks, like the "[[Battle Theme (Final Fantasy X)|Battle Theme]]" and "[[Thunder Plains (theme)|Thunder Plains]]", have been redone. With themes like "Battle Theme", veteran ''Final Fantasy'' composer [[Nobuo Uematsu]]—who worked on the original and supervised parts of the remastered soundtrack—has said the idea was to create a tonal change as powerful as the upgrade being done to the game itself.<ref name="polygon" /> The ''Final Fantasy X'' remastered soundtrack also remixes several tracks with more piano. The "[[Via Purifico (theme)|Via Purifico]]" theme is replaced by the ''[[Piano Collections: Final Fantasy X]]'' version. The upgraded album release features three tracks not used in the original game—one of them being "[[Wakka#Musical themes|Wakka's Theme]]".

===Audio drama===
{{Main|Final Fantasy X -Will-#Development|t1=Final Fantasy X -Will- development}}
Kazushige Nojima, the original scenario writer, wrote an audio drama for the remaster set one year after the events in ''Final Fantasy X-2'' titled ''[[Final Fantasy X -Will-]]''. The drama is not meant to clearly depict a particular event, but to hint at the characters' lives after the events of ''Final Fantasy X-2''. The developers didn't want a particular image to be set in stone by presenting clear visuals, and that's why audio-only was chosen, to leave room for the fans' imaginations.<ref>{{Refwebsite| page url = http://www.siliconera.com/2013/11/08/final-fantasy-xs-original-idea-reflections-yoshinori-kitase/| page name = Final Fantasy X’s Original Idea And Other Reflections From Yoshinori Kitase| site url = http://www.siliconera.com| site name = Siliconera| access time = 17:02, February 21, 2020 (UTC)}}</ref> ''Final Fantasy X -Will-'' and Nojima's spin-off novella, ''[[Final Fantasy X-2.5 ~Eien no Daishō~]]'', leave open new plot threads, but the ''Final Fantasy'' brand director [[Shinji Hashimoto]] has denied the inclusion of ''Final Fantasy X -Will-'' with the ''HD Remaster'' was made with a sequel in mind.<ref>{{Refwebsite| page url = http://sgcafe.com/2014/02/interview-square-enixs-shinji-hashimoto-talks-final-fantasy-xx-2-hd-remaster-ff-titles/| page name = Interview: Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto talks FFX/X-2 HD Remaster| site url = http://sgcafe.com| site name = SGCafe| access time = 17:02, February 21, 2020 (UTC)}}</ref>
