Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster Reviews
The touch screen options, the removal of PC's autosave feature and other adjustments, aside from playing it in georgeous portable mode, make this Nintendo Switch's version the best of all that have been released as a Remaster, and the most faithful to play the original versions, even if it had to make some sacrifices in the visual part.

Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster is still the timeless JRPG we all know and love, but the launch price and the lack of new content makes it hard to recommend this new version over the older ones.

Landing for the first time on a Nintendo hardware, these two episodes, especially the first one, are instant classics of the JRPG genre. This Switch version of the HD Remaster is quite clean, technically speaking, with high resolution textures and low loading time. Alas, the cartridge only includes Final Fantasy X (X-2 being available by downloading it), but it's not a reason to pass by these fantastic games.

Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster is a nice fit to the Switch's library, but it adds nothing compared to previous editions of the HD Remaster that appeared on other platforms.

All of this leaves us feeling that Square Enix could have done more with the Final Fantasy X and X-2 Remaster. If you own a Nintendo Switch and have never played these games, they're well worth considering. For everyone, else however, there's little reason to dive back in to the world of Spira.
Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remastered for the Nintendo Switch delivers a solid gameplay experience with greatly improved visuals, but some shortcomings keep it from perfection.
The Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster collection is an incredible package, and it comes to the Switch with virtually the same quality and improvements as every other release before it.
Final Fantasy X/X-2 make for a lovely addition to the Switch's library – a touching experience for new and old players.
If you haven't played Final Fantasy X by now, it's the perfect time, especially if you own the Switch. If you haven't played it by now, Switch is the perfect platform to try, given the portability and smooth experience. Unfortunately, those who played it recently or want something new might be disappointed, though it's hard to please everyone. Especially when PC and PlayStation 4 have been out for a while and are much cheaper.
Another fantastic Final Fantasy port arrives on the Nintendo Switch.
Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster is still a competitive title among similar genres. One of the rare games that had voice dubs for almost every dialog in the game. Newly arranged soundtrack is also candy to the ears. The remastered visuals mainly considered for the PS4 is also well presented on the Nintendo Switch, perhaps even slightly better. The main story plot blended with the timeless cinematic is well proven to be one of the highest quality games even to this day in age.

Final Fantasy X remains a genre-defining legend while Final Fantasy X-2 still dances through its saccharine and exploitative expectations. Neither feel especially ravaged by time. As either an academic interest in turn-of-the-century gaming or a hopeful re-acquaintance with a bygone phenomenon, the collection makes it easy to invest another lifetime across Spira.
Both titles come with some drawbacks, but both are extremely important RPGs. Being important isn't always enough to say something is good, though, and, fortunately, both FFX and FFX-2 are superb. For fans new and old, there's likely something you've never gotten see before. Even if you've seen it all, though, why not journey back in. It's just as lovely as you remember it being.
Even with their linear nature, the gameplay of these games is the high point in the series, offering loads of customizability and the ability to plan out the next move. Use your own strengths or reduce weaknesses - anything is possible. Unfortunately, the characters never really bond, at least not in a way that truly binds them together - not even thematically.
Final Fantasy X/X-2 is an amazing port of classic PlayStation 2 titles, complete with graphical enhancements and newly added features. It's truly the best way to experience the games.
Simply put, Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster is the most complete package for one of the most celebrated entries in the series. Not everything included has stood up to the test of time, but the sentiment of the whole being better than the sum of its parts describes this HD collection perfectly.
Final Fantasy X-2 is a fundamentally sound JRPG from a game mechanics perspective, but its cheese factor and lackluster narrative pay off hold it back from being anything more than "the other one." There are interesting ideas at work, and Square's logic of trying to present a different look at the same world makes sense, it just doesn't always work in its favor.
Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster for PC is the definitive version of two great entries in the overall series. There's more than enough additional content packed in, refined visuals and a remastered soundtrack that alone would be worth it, but put on top of it a few of the better Final Fantasy journeys and memorable characters, as well as mechanics and it's an easy recommendation.
Finally, Final Fantasy X and its sequel have breached a platform outside of the PlayStation family and it comes with positive tidings.
One great RPG and one curio. Not a perfect port, but definitely Square Enix's best stab at bringing Final Fantasy to PC so far.
