Final Fantasy X…on NES?
on December 8, 2008 at 12:36 AM
Final Fantasy X is widely loved among the loyal FF fans. The strong emotional themes, deep character development, and beautifully-rendered cutscenes are just few of the many impressive features of Final Fantasy X. The game was released in 2001 exclusively for PlayStation 2…or at least that’s what we thought.
It is rumored that a group of Japanese hackers recreated Final Fantasy X for NES using Final Fantasy 2j beta roms. Obviously the game was recreated in 2D and lacks the detail of the original, but the uncanny resemblance to its 3D predecessor is impressive. It is uncertain whether or not whether these FFX NES screenshots and clips are fake, but nevertheless it is worth mentioning. Check out the image below comparing the original and recreated Final Fantasy X.

I doubt it’s real… it was probably someone’s idea of a joke to make fake screenshots of what it would have been like as an original FF game. But then again, maybe someone used something like RPG Maker to recreate it. (Although why anyone would go through the effort of remaking a game for a lower-graphic platform is beyond me.) XD;
Yamino: hey there! yea… it probably is fake, but still fun to watch. Of course, like you, I can’t comprehend why anybody will down grade to a lower-graphic platform.
