A PC version was released on Steam on May 12, 2016.īoth titles are bundled together in the PS3 release, though the Vita version is split due to the size limitations of the handheld's game cards. A PlayStation 4 version of the game was released both digitally and at retail on May 12, 2015. This marks the first time that the International Version of Final Fantasy X has been made available in North America, and the first time that Final Fantasy X-2's International Version has been made available outside of Japan. Specifically, the ports are based on International Version and the International + Last Mission Version respectively. We'll see at some point what the source is for this album, but I wouldn't hold my breath that they're going to break with the method they've used with their previous Blu-ray albums.Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster is an HD compilation of Square Enix's Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. It may not be a highlighted part of their marketing, but they do intentionally say that their Blu-ray soundtracks are 24/96 which is very misleading. But then when they turn the files over for the OST, it's being upsampled. And it's not going in the games in any higher quality than that in fact, it goes through lossy compression. Perfect sound quality within the range of human hearing and practically any sound equipment's reproduction capabilities and it takes up less space and processing time when you're working with it (24 bits does have some technical advantages in music production, but it's less useful when you're working with primarily synthesized music in a sequencer rather than recorded music because you can manipulate and process it without introducing errors). I say good for their sound team that they use 16/44.1 since it makes so much sense. Note that I don't mean recording engineers - they deal with the art of sound recording and do not necessarily need to understand or even really know about the science of sound to get good results), but the fact that in reality what's on that FFXIV Blu-ray he's referring to is actually upsampled CD-quality audio makes his statement either an apparently company-wide (or at least soundtrack publishing/marketing department) honest misunderstanding on multiple levels of how digital audio works or an official deception, a lie. It's horribly unscientific enough to claim that 24/96 inherently sounds better than CD (I'm aware this is a controversial statement amongst the audio enthusiast community and I know I'm unlikely to change any minds saying this, but it's really not controversial for the scientists and engineers who study and work with the science of sound. So that's a guy from their marketing department advertising what he intends to be a selling point, implying that the audio is of higher quality when they put it on Blu-ray. Yeah, I read that interview back when it was published and remembered him saying that singled-out line, which further bothers me about this upsampling business. And so, with going with the Blu-ray format, we would like to take on that challenge with the same spirit." It is true that it’s a challenge, but our company has always created our games by taking on a challenge, then ended up as a success. Since one disc can record over 6 hours of music and also include video content, that’s why we decided to use the Blu-ray format. And the large capacity allows for high levels of sound quality that makes CDs pale in comparison. Now, because of the capacity of the Blu-ray disc, we are able to include video contents as well. On top of that, you would have to consider the hassle of switching between the CDs, which may end up making the consumer hesitate on purchasing the product.
"As you have mentioned, I can’t deny that the Blu-ray format is relatively costly, but if you think about it, for example, in terms of FFXIV, we would record 104 songs at a total of 376 minutes, which would come out to 6 or 7 CDs and a cost of 6,000 to 7,000 yen ($60 to $70). I'll be curious to know why, dj requests (about vinyls) ? Square enix ever explained why they release blu-ray like that or even vinyls?
