For all the Final Fantasy fans out there, the latest rumor circulating around the web states that upcoming Final Fantasy X HD for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita will be more than just another HD port. According to PSTime, a remake of the game is being made using Final Fantasy's XIII Crystal Tools engine. This engine is also being used for Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Final Fantasy Versus XIII.
The engine is said to be adapted for both PS3 and Vita. The entire game is said not to be made from scratch, only characters, aeons and some stage elements. Sets and scenes will be remastered in CGI and will implement a “filter” FFXIII Engine. The new Luminous engine will provide the magic and lighting effects, while Blitzball will undergo some small changes. You can also expect online options and a release date in Japan in the 2012 fiscal year.
