Well for pal users, we are missing nothing ;)  I still don't think even international warrants paying for this game again, either.  Depends how much they charging.... Anyone know what the normal rates are?

FFX-2 int. was never released in NTSC-U and PAL regions
so yeah, thats one reason to buy it
there is an english patch as of today but thats not a full TL
 
I was referring to X.  I can't believe anyone would want to suffer X-2 again.  :o

Same as all the remasters, $39.99. but the ps3 has both games on 1 disc as the vita both games are separate. If they try and charge $39.99 for both games for people who own the vita that's messed up.

40 is already way too much.  ANyone who pays that for this update is literally insane (assuming they have owned the game before).  Still, it's their money  :P so I dunno why I really care.  I do actually like some of what they have done in those screenshots above, but there's not a cat in hell's chance that I would pay 40 to essentially play the exact same game I have right here on disc that I can pop in my drive and play on the emulator.  I am just fed up with a lot of stuff where games are involved these days, especially given I have been playing some old classics the last week or so.  The blatant profiteering is taking its toll.  I am obviously in rant mode today as well  :o....

I never bought the first, as I never owned any console beyond PS1, so buying this HD version would be my first. Still, I've watched a playthrough on YT and will probably do the same for this HD version, since I won't buy a PS3 just to play it.

If one has an expensive computer, one could purchase an external Blu-Ray player and install a Playstation 3 emulator. I shall provide the web page link to the emulator.
 
There is no PS3 emulator that actually emulates the PS3. A few claim to, but they do not work at all.
 
Not impressive, really. FFX has two models of each character one normal and one high res. It looks like that they replace the normal one with the high res and put some better textures on them (no normal mapping?). They didn't even do a true shadow calculation. I really believe that this will be only an texture update.
And for this I wouldn't pay again. That means there is on exception: if they would make a true Blitzball minigame in a way like FIFA, Ice Hockey, Basketball or what ever, not that crap what they has designed (Blitz; German; means bolt, flash or lightning).
 
Agreed completely with Kalda.  On PS3... won't be one for a very long time.  The common misconception among people is to think that because we have emulators for most consoles, including the Wii, that it must be equally as simple to fire one out for PS3.  Nope.  Miles better hardware and to emulate it would take a much better computer.  A PS3 emu capable of playing commercial games at full speed isn't going to happen for a long time.... a long time.  I am not sure what minimum specs you would be looking at in theory.  Anyone know?

The best games are prior PS3 and 360 anyways. I wouldn't even want to emulate anything for them. I just watch a playthrough on YT and smile at how much money I've saved from never buying games in the "next gen" era  :)

even if there were emulators
2 cores at 3,2ghz each won't run FFX-2 Int. at full fps most of the time
you'd need such absurd CPU and GPU power for a PS3 emulator that we won't see one for another DECADE. And after that decade, welcome to 5 fps get-to-the-menu emulators for another half a decade.

and there are great games on PS3 and 360. Dragons Dogma, Disgaea, Dark and Demon Souls ( granted, on PC now, too ) and obviously Monster Hunter
saying that there aren't any great games is about as accurate as drilling in your nose, pulling out a bogger and proclaiming you've found a diamond.
 
Matter of opinion Tenko. Call me an old fashion....booger digger? (your analogy was weird lol) but I find more enjoying games on PS1/N64 and prior consoles. PC games are great as well, so if the game is cross platform, you shouldn't beat me up over my opinion about the next gen era. I am just glad I don't spend money on games like FFXIII  :P
 
You would need dual-SLI TITAN's and a processor far superior to an i7 or A8. On a side note, I play my Snes all the time, but Dark Souls is my favorite game of all time because of the immense underlying themes and great story. Look here.

A good guide for Emulation is three times the system specs but you have to take system hardware complexity into consideration too. You're going to need 8 cores to have a fully compatible 'translation' of the cycles from the Cell Processor. It's going to be a really rough project for whoever takes it on.
 
Three times? Hardly. Without significant optimization far beyond most emulators, the bare minimum tends to be closer to be closer to 10x (and emulation is one of the few tasks we can actually compare by raw clockspeed even for vastly different architectures). If you aren't using speedhacks all over the place, it's even higher. On top of that, emulation can't be done very effectively in parallel; multiple cores is precious little help. For something like the PS3, we aren't likely to even have the power to emulate the PPE at fullspeed until computers achieve ~30GHz. Add six SPEs, each running at 3.2GHz as well (this is something that CAN be helped by parallel since the SPEs run separately, although at an additional speed cost for sync) and this beast of a machine will probably not be emulated for AT LEAST a decade, especially since PC clock speeds aren't going up at nearly the same rate as they did before.
 
The Emotion Engine used in the PS3 is a technological marvel compared to modern PC's.
 
The emotion engine was PS2, not PS3. The PS3 uses a Cell architecture.

It's not so much that the PS3 is insanely powerful or advanced, just complicated and designed to allow better multitasking than a typical x86_64 processor can manage. In terms of raw power and potential, it's a good deal below modern PCs. It's really more (needlessly) complex than marvelous.
