Modding FFX: Create the BEST Final Fantasy X Experience

[@eryharinanto3574]

I don't care if the PS2 model is low res, the HD look is so derpy to the point it makes me distracted in every cutscene. Whoever did the mod you are a GODSEND.

[@Raemnant]

As far as the face swaps go, you missed the most important detail. The reason we swap their faces for the PS2 version, the reason we care that they changed their faces at all isnt the way the model looks, or the texture resolutions The reason the old face is better is because of FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. Tidus and Yuna had very expressive faces in the PS2 version, and the HD versions made them much more rigid, cutting these details

[@zephyrias]

not only that.... but Tidus' face is so creepy..

[@luxen9889]

Cant play the remaster because of this. I'll stick with the ps2 version.

[@TheT1111x1]

hey we might have lost the real models and facial expressions in the remaster, but at least in return we got ruined skyboxes and botched lighting effects

[@bunnymusic2374]

the teams who make tidus face in remastered are the dumbest human ever live lmao 🤣🤣🤣

Honestly who thought it was ok and approved the face redesign to begin with. It’s the worst part of the remasters

[@Xenonarth]

If only there's a Yuna ps2 face mod. Her HD face lacks any sort of emotion

[@randomtitbits1337]

Great video. :) I’m the original creator for the better textures. As a small infobot: the old V1 version was done with Waifu upscaler, the last one was completely redone using a custom AI model using ESRGAN as a base. ;)

[@TheNightSkyPrince]

Oh my mistake! Thank you for helping make one of my favorite games even better 🙂

No worries. I think today you can do even better upscale with AI. :)

[@FreakazoidRobots]

You said remake, but I think you mean remaster. A remake is when you redo everything about the game from scratch, not just update the graphics. That's why you're getting some pushback that other FF games need it more.

[@jayno743]

This made me want to revisit FFX. A remake would be magical. It's such a beautiful game

[@BearBoyJW]

lmao When Wakka's face model swap came up later in the video I was shooketh! He doesn't look bad, just different XD

One of my most beloved RPG games ever. Final Fantasy X. I will for sure check this video and try this experience.

[@Unalochy]

Went ahead and got the Children Of Time audiobook after you talking about it. A lot of comments specify how the narration is supposedly spot on... This is why I love your Q & A section at the end of some of your videos!

[@viruschris3160]

My first Final Fantasy game I’ve ever beaten. I really love it. I need to play the other FFs though. I have played 7 (disc 1 completed), a little bit of the beginning of 8 and 9. Beat 15, played 13 until I got to the open zone area. And saved immediately after leaving it and never came back. Played 12 a little bit too. I need to go back and finish those games. Can’t wait to try out these mods.

[@sakuraflares7054]

when i was younger, your video helped me mod FFVI. To this day, I still play a heavily modded and highly personalized mod of FFVI's defunct steam version lol

Thank you so much for compiling this because I've been wanting to play this game again for forever now

[@chroniquephilousophique9983]

The hyper realistic mod is incredibly awkward. Im sorry. This is a vibrant exemple of a wild uncanny valley showcase. 😅

[@someoldguyplays]

FFX Remaster is always one of the first games I buy for a new system starting with my own PS3, and always gets a new playthrough every year. But I never really got used to the cutscenes in the remaster so I always find myself going back to the PS2 version (also, always right around Mushroom Rock). First with the undub patch, the widescreen hack, and now with the HD texture upscale pack, (and custom ReShade presets) it's the best way to experience FFX again and again

[@CozyCoffeeLofi]

One of my favorite Final Fantasy of all time!

[@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu]

You should do a ff9 version of this video, there are some really great ai upscaled pre rendered backgrounds and things that makes it look absolutely beautiful. As well as wide screen without stretching.

[@BlacMangaArt]

I hope you all love ffx. Ps3 version, that's nomura, I'm happy with that because he changed my life, he's my hero.

[@AlliCassandra]

LOVING all the attention you are giving to FFX…. Because yes, it’s STILL THE BEST. 🙌🏻

[@NeptuneNoire]

Near realistic Wakka had me rolling. 🤣

[@acerimmer8338]

Sin Reborn difficulty mod is a godsend for those that have pummeled the game to death and beaten bosses like Penance w/ ease. I've died multiple times in my current playthru, even in random battles if I get ambushed. While all it does is up the stats of enemies, it forces you to use every avenue the game has to win many fights. I use Rikku's Steal and Use abilities plus her overdrive way more than ever. Old strategies fall to the wayside. The Seymour fights are brutal! It's been a hugely fun and rewarding experience.

[@Bozebo]

Warning on the subtitles with JP VO mod, for X-2 it prevents you from getting a couple of percentage points due to the different timing/triggers so it's missed in a couple of field cut scenes. The only one I nailed down where it was, was during the massage scene, so if you're using that mod while 100%ing FFX-2 then disable it for that (and maybe the whole game after that because I think it happens again later on). Most annoying thing is you can't see you have it off in-game due to rounding until many hours later, but you could inspect your save file I suppose. funny thing is Sqenix officially stated having eng sub with jp voice was "impossible", wonder if it's because of something like that or they genuinely were dumb and thought it was impossible. X does work perfectly, and x-2's VO is less janky and has a style change anyway, so it's fine to play x in jp then x-2 in eng anyway.

[@dadodem2157]

It's been a while since your last mod video! It's nice to see it come back for FF-X.🙌🏽 Although I don't think I will mod it, watching this video makes me want to revisit FF X.

I probably played just as much blitzball as I did the game. Great game all around.

[@MegaMario9001]

A new mod just dropped a few days ago that must be talked about: "Restore PS2 Tidus but slightly upscaled (still a potato)" by vyacharin. This mod takes the PS2 Tidus model mod that you showed off in this video and upscales the textures and fixes a few broken parts of the model to make it look significantly better. As the "still a potato" part of the mod's title suggests, there's still some noticable issues and it's far from perfect, but if you really can't stand Tidus's remastered face, this is undoubtedly the best option yet. Additionally, the author of this mod has said that they're working on fixing up the model to solve the remaining issues, meaing we may well have a perfect PS2 Tidus face mod in the near future.

[@zydeox1221]

Auron's Jp voice is so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

[@eaglenebula2172]

The undying FF of legend the one and only that will forever and ever be in our hearts ! 💗 That blitzball kid mod tho got me rolling 😂😂🤣 Also one additional mod I may suggest though I don't remember if I tested it on FFX is called Reshade it works with most games and gives a superb modern graphics look to any game and is a super simple 1 click install. It gives you plenty of options to download and enable/disable at will like Bloom, HDR, DoF etc. Now I don't know which leak to believe about whether they secretly working on a remake, a X-3 sequel or neither nor do I know which is a better idea in practice but we for sure crave more content about this title though if it's something that completely goes away from its root and pisses on the original like X-2 then pls no.

[@rafaumtgavioli]

It’s incredible how FFX still look good! The NPC models are the only thing that actualy bothers me with the low poly and animated textures for the face.

[@narumeddy69]

Who also thought about the boss fight in mt gagazet at 01:58 ?

[@MegaMario9001]

Great video! I just spent the last few weeks collecting and installing mods for FFX so this video came out just a tad too late to help me personally, but it's still great for people to refer to. Here's some mods I like that you didn't talk about: RUZ's face mod for Tidus is probably the best one if you want a PS2-like Tidus, but what about Yuna? Personally, I think that "PS2 Original Face" by UniCB (aka Mori-chan) is the best for her. This mod also includes a face for Tidus, but in my opinion, it's not that great. Install this mod first for Yuna's face, then overwrite Tidus's face with the one made by RUZ. Quagnog's menu mod is very nice, but if you want more options for how you can make the menus look, you can check out "6 Menu Backgrounds" by FinalMantasyX. As the name suggests, this mod gives you six different pictures you can choose from, all of them being screenshots from the game's cutscenes, to use as a background for the menu. Something I feel goes well with a menu background mod would be "PS2 Portraits" by Eprade. As the name suggests, this replaces each character's menu portrait with their original one from the PS2 version of the game. While they don't look too terribly different from the remaster's normal portraits, I feel that the white background around the PS2 portraits looks better when they're placed on top of a fancy menu background. If you want to add a little spice to a playthrough, you can't go wrong with "All Party Members Renamable" by Karifean. It does exactly what the name says. It doesn't affect voice lines, obviously, but any instance of a character's name in text (subtitles, menus, etc) will be changed. Changing the characters' names might not be something you want to do on a first playthrough, but who doesn't love giving everyone funny names on a replay? For a little more spice, how about "Swap-able Overworld Characters" by HeartlessSeph? If you don't like running around outside of battle as Tidus all the time, this mod lets you control whoever you want on the overworld. You can pick any of the game's party members, as well as Seymour. This mod also supports X-2, and has a lot more options in that game, allowing you to run around as any of X-1 or X-2's party members, as well as a number of major NPCs. Speaking of X-2, it doesn't have nearly as many mods, but here's a few I'd like to highlight: "Better UI Texture" by Drogean recolors the menu in X-2. You can choose from blue, purple, or a brighter version of the menu's normal colors. There are no alternate backgrounds available like there are for FFX, but being able to pick the menu's color scheme is still a nice bit of customization. "Readable Sphere Break Coins", also by Drogean, is a quality of life update for the Sphere Break minigame. Sphere Break is a game that requires you to do math very quickly, and the heavily-stylized font used in this minigame can be very hard to read. This mod changes the font to make the numbers significantly more legible. "Replace FFX-2 Music with FFX Music" by Gohito is another mod that does exactly what the name says. X-2's soundtrack is rather divisive, and if you're one of the people who just can't stand it, then this mod may be for you. Though, do note that this mod does make a few questionable choices in regards to what song goes where, and the music may not always suit the situations it plays in (for example, Yuna's peaceful and serene X-1 theme playing during the first fight with Logos and Ormi). The last mod I want to talk about is "The Sight of Spira" by Tommymav. This mod retextures almost every returning location from X-1 in X-2 to look different. Changes include things like the Mi'hen Highroad being paved now that more people are travelling down it, Seymour's old mansion being redecorated to suit its new owner, Zanarkand being vandalized with grafitti and litter by disrespectful tourists, and more. X-2 heavily reuses assets from X-1, and many areas looking exactly the same as they did in X-1 doesn't always make sense. This mod helps with that by giving the game's various locales a bit of a fresher look that reflects how Spira has changed since X-1.

[@MalevolentMinun]

Yunie looks gorgeous in that thumbnail 😵

[@eessppeenn001]

I want a play as Yuna mod. She is playable in the underground section of Bevelle. But I wish to have her as playable outside of there too. Implementing alternate outfits, from FFX-2 could be cool, but it would probably be asking for too much to implement all of those.

[@armorvil]

I was surprised you didn't mention the Farplane Memory Editor. I can't play without it just for the AP-sharing option (this makes it so everyone gains AP after a battle, regardless of who acted in it)

[@GugureSux]

The biggest problem in the FFX HD ports, sans the total art-style change at times, would have to be the totally butchered character facial animations. It's outright shocking how a 2001 PS2 game can have more detailed and realistic facial movements than some recent Bethesda games. But many folks probably won't even get to see them, because the "HD" versions make everyone stiff as rock.
