I wanted to see how YouTube handled this video and I didn't want to go through the trouble of making another YouTube channel just yet so enjoy. This is the opening to one of my favorite games of all time, Squaresoft's (now Square Enix) JRPG masterpiece Final Fantasy X. The piano piece is Nobuo Uematsu's To Zanarkand from the Final Fantasy X soundtrack, my favorite piano song of all time. The sheet music is avaliable in the Final Fantasy X Piano Collections.
This was rendered internally at 1080p with the PS2 Emulator PCSX2 0.9.7.r3876 DX10 GS SSE41 plugin and captured with the plugin. Unlike other videos on YouTube from the emulator or Final Fantasy X for that matter It is actual full 1080p HD, uploaded at 60 frames per second (YouTube changed it to a variable frame rate) and aspect ratio correct. Best viewed in 1080p quality of course.
@BRUTALSHANZ1988 Hah, well as someone has already commented it's going to get an HD port on the PSN.

@WolfGhost97 You have a great point and you might be right. It was a very well designed RPG overall and it did have more open-ended gameplay elements than FFX. To me though since FFX was very comparable in quality and the fact that its story was more touching cement FFX as being my favorite.

@LogosSteve I disagree about the nostalgia. The key to FF7's success and the reason why it is better than the 10 imo is the feeling of freedom. 2 alternative characters, mini games the possibility to discover the world and secret places in the world, the background, the complexity of the story (even if 10's story is far more touching), the richness of every characters background and the coherency of the unniverse (you can really feel the difference between the pre and post Meteor apparition).

@DarthPingu07 You make a good point. Still it looks like they're just updating the graphics so they probably won't ruin it.

@LogosSteve ... I would agree if it wasn't for Square-enix.
They've screwed up far too many times lately for me to trust them with a full makeover of my favorite game of all time lol... It's risky, FFX-2 was Enix's first FF and look how it turned out, they had the character's, setting's, gameplay, a background plot and musical score to work with that was tried and tested and they ruined it, the battle system and soundtrack was great but rest was awful. I couldn't live with an enix remake yet :P

@DarthPingu07 Oh, right... Yeah it seems like it's going to be an HD port. It's funny I'd rather them try and redo it since I'd like them to actually do something right for a change.

@LogosSteve ... I know, it was mentioned in my second reply =)
I meant the 'remake' was a rumor... there's no confirmation of what it will be... HD port, or full remake...
I'd take the HD port any day... that way, Squenix can't screw it up lol... well, if anyone can, it's them =/

@DarthPingu07 No it's not a rumor, it was officially announced at the Sony Tokyo Game Show press conference last month. But yeah, here's hoping it shapes up to kick some serious ass.

@LogosSteve ... this is still a rumor though but as long as Squenix doesn't put too much of their stamp on it and ruin it, I'll die happy haha
yep, massive coincedence, but I think people are being unfair to this game because it's being released before VII and therefore are putting it down. If VII was released first people will be fairer on X.
X is in it's own right, a truly amazing game. Voice acting etc maybe poor but it's beautifully put together and deserves more praise than put downs imo

@LogosSteve ... rumor is it's a total remake using the Luminous engine that Versus XIII will use or FFXIII's engine, character's will be rebuilt for better looking HD and decent lip synching but design's are to stay true to original (good because they ruined Yuna in X-2 lol), setting's are to be slightly modified but still instantly recognisable... battle system? turn based will stay... thank *insert expletive*
