Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD on Steam this thursday

[Tetraspore]

Awesome work! Can't wait to see what happens after textures.

This could be pretty neat. I succumbed to SE's addicted cycle of repurchasing the same games over and over, and was pleasantly surprised by how damn good this PC port looks. It is by far and away the definitive version of this game. My only complaint is that the game is locked at 30 FPS.

Someone is working on a 60 fps mod. Don't know how far they'll get, but it's a work in progress.

Kaldaien just updated Untitled Project X to include texture ripping & injection in .dds format.

I'll likely be messing around trying to port various PS2 assets back in.
Turns out most new textures (UI elements & Text in particular) are 4x larger than the original.

Speaking of, does anyone know the name of the font used for subtitles in the original?
I believe I found it. Should be "Consolas".

Yeah, he posted an update the other day, it's looking great!

This might be a nitpick, but, is anyone else annoyed  by the delay in the battle menu when switching characters,opening the skills ,special and magic menu and going to the overdrive tab ?

Looks like I don't need to create a soft for texture replacement then   . Oh, also remember you can use TexMod! It's unique, always-working texture replacement tool that works for any DirectX9. [I haven't tested it although]

EDIT: Oh, FFX is DirectX11 ?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is DirectX11; TexMod wasn't working at least.

Did you make any success with converting those .phyre files?
Now that proper means of texture injection exist, I'm imagining the next "big thing" will be editting models and the like.

Particularly, I've noticed the demand to revert the party's character models back to the originals.
Comparisons: example_article example_img
If you do manage to figure that out, there's a number of PS2 models already ripped being hosted on the Models Resource.

Regardless, I'm very impressed how quickly things have been happening.
Thanks to all of you!

This is what Tidus and Yuna looked like a few months before FFX HD came out on PS3

They looked better but it´s still not as good as the ps2 version

[DLPB_]

Oh god that change from PS2 is AWFUL!  Which retard was in charge of doing the models or overseeing the change?  Update the models, but don't change the structure.  That's like a totally different character on some of those pics!

[KnifeTheSky77]

They were probably shooting for a slightly more western look when adding more polys

[Kaldarasha]

Hmm, but they look more Japanese like, same as they have done it with Cloud. Nevertheless this time they had pretty detailed reference material. Be it the CG movies or be it the great concept art (well actually it's a bit over-detailed).

[Tetraspore]

I would really like to modify the alpha layer on a lot of the hair in the game. They have a lot of blunt ends that don't transition nicely. I'd like to take some notes from how they did the hair in FFXIII and apply similar techniques to the hairstyles in X. Is this something we can do already with TexMod?

[mariokart64n]

I can't wait to edit the models, they did an alright job remaking the textures but I'm disappointed in the model reworking they did.

[Grumpy_Edge]

The only thing that annoys me so far is the button prompts are for an xbox controller. Trying to imput Aurons overdrive with a PS3 pad is just annoying I can't seem to get used to it.

If anyone manages to restore the PS2 button prompts I would love you for ever.

Pretty sure this guy has included that in his mod already.

[Grumpy_Edge]

I very rarely check steam, thanks a lot for pointing that out to me!

[Maki]

Are you the real mariokart64n? Awesome! I remember downloading the ancient schoolgirl Kairi's model for GMOD and MANY other models.
Back to FFX - The newest steam release has also "freecam.swf" and it looks like it's disabled. Changing offsets should do the trick?

In the spare time:

[mariokart64n]

Yeah I was doing porting for gmod, till I got banned from facepunch. Then I got into file I/O and have done a few program on xentax to take 3D models from games into 3DSmax and back.

I'm trying to get the courage to open a FFX model file in a hex editor. Because I remember yaz0r worked on the ps2 version and he said it had used heavy compression. :/

But it would soo incredible if FFX was fully customizable, sound, textures, models, etc just amazing!

[MetaLink]

Is it just me or, are the models of Yuna and Rikku from FFX-2 more faithful to the PS2 ones, than FFX  ?

[Topher]

Hey guys, I have started working on adding rebuild support to vbftool. Currently it can rebuild metamenu successfully but there's still a few bytes here and there that need to be figured out before the game will read the files.

If anyone is interested in helping, grab the source code here and have a look.

[Tetraspore]

@Topher looks cool, do you mind if I ask what exactly that does? What is "metamenu" anyway?

[Tetraspore]

Anyone manage to swap the cutscene models with the field/battle models?

[Avalanche]

Can someone make a guide, what is the easiest way to translate Final Fantasy X steam version?
