Slant: We're expected to value high-definition treatment of pop video games, so the question of how Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster looks seems redundant. The real question involves whether Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 deserve attention more than a decade after their release. For FFX, the answer isn't straightforward due to uneven attempts to address religion and love within the context of a role-playing game that waters itself down with an overreliance on cutscenes, mini-games, and hamstrung exploration. For FFX-2, the answer seems obvious as the moral consideration of FFX disappears in favor of nostalgia and solipsism disguised as empowerment.
