Development History & Trivia
The Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster guide was not built from scratch. It incorporates a basic guide for the PS2 version of Final Fantasy X-2, which covered storyline content (Chapters 1-5 main locations) but lacked boss strategies.
The original PS2 guide was recycled and expanded for the HD Remaster. New additions include boss sections, extra Chapter 5 locations (Den of Woe, Via Infinito, Ruin Depth, Fiend Colony, New Cave, Farplane, and Farplane Abyss), and all sections outside the walkthrough. The guide is considered version 1.0 and complete, with plans to add Creature Creator content later.
The guide covers all FFX-2 HD content. It aims to provide a complete walkthrough, ensuring close to 100% completion. Key elements for the walkthrough include:
- Asterisks (*): Indicate requirements for story percentage.
- Hyphens (-): Detail quest rewards and important item locations.
- Tildes (~): Point out noticeable, optional treasures.
