Video Games Chronicle • • technology
Key Points:
- Square Enix has released a trailer celebrating the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy X, originally launched on July 19, 2001, as the first main Final Fantasy game on PS2 with fully polygonal environments.
- Final Fantasy X was critically and commercially successful, leading to the first direct sequel in the series, Final Fantasy X-2, released in March 2003.
- Both games have been remastered in HD and released on multiple platforms, including PS3, Vita, PS4, PC, Switch, and Xbox One, with the latest port coming to Nintendo’s Switch 2 on July 23.
- The Switch 2 version features fully remade HD graphics, remastered music, recreated elements from the International Version, and new quality of life options like high-speed mode and no random encounters.
- There is no discounted upgrade for players who already own the Switch version, meaning they will likely need to repurchase the game for $49.99 / £44.99 to play on Switch 2.
