Key points
- Based on the International editions of Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2, which added additional content to both games.
- Players can only skip some FMV cutscenes in Final Fantasy X, no way to skip in-game cutscenes and certain FMVs. In-game cutscenes and FMVs can be skipped in Final Fantasy X-2 and Last Mission.
- Compared to the PS2, some artistic changes are implemented to the characters. For example, Tidus and Yuna have reshaped faces (which some players feel reduces their facial emotional expressions), Yuna's hair is sometimes darker, Wakka has a more muscular back, etc. While some changes are harmless, some players may dislike some of these aspects. Some texture mods have been made to alleviate this, although the underlying polygonal structures can't be edited.
- New to the PC version are various boosters to control the rate of enemy encounters and speed up battles, among others (see below).
- This release adds an auto-save mode; all three games are now saved in a separate slot when entering another area (X, X-2) or ascending one floor (Last Mission).
- Frame rate is capped at 30 FPS. No way to change without breaking the entire engine.

Essential improvements
- An easy-to-install, auto-updating mod that adds several long-requested features, technical fixes, and general enhancements:
- Adds in a togglable 8x speed, which can skip through cutscenes in Final Fantasy X
- New optional FFX boosters: Distribute AP to all characters after battle, and have permanent Sensor regardless of equipment
- Texture dumping and injection for modding
- Many texture mods are available on NexusMods, although an account must be made to download files larger than 2 MB.
- Button prompts for PlayStation/Xbox 360/Xbox One controllers, button remapping support, mappings for booster commands, and a soft-reset function
- Option to unlock Seymour as a playable character in battle (you can't develop his stats at all, so this is mostly a novelty)
- Enhanced achievements: plays the PSN or XBL unlock sound (customizable) on achievement unlock, and displays rarity statistics
- Additional audio options, such as Japanese audio support for non-Japanese text (and vice versa), as well as the option to mute on focus lost
- True fullscreen mode and fixes for DPI scaling
- Intel GPU bypass and other performance fixes
- If severe stutter is experienced, turn the Reduce stutter option off by changing
Reduce=true
to Reduce=false
in the main configuration file.

- A gamepad- and UnX-friendly launcher replacement

Notes |
Widescreen resolution |
|
FMVs are cropped from 4:3 (as seen on the PS2 original) to 16:9.[2]
Aspect ratios narrower than 16:9 are letterboxed. |
Multi-monitor |
|
Outdoor aspect ratio can be edited to triple wide. Indoor aspect ratio can be fixed to 16:9 middle monitor only original 16:9 aspect ratio on 4:3 scrolling backgrounds. All cutscenes can be edited to triple wide. All UI would be stretched Fullscreen or edited for fixed 16:9 middle monitor. Markers and green screen for map would still be there. Map would be fixed to left corner of left monitor. Would have to modify SUWSF. Post on SUWSF link if interested. |
Ultra-widescreen |
|
Outdoor Aspect Ratio is proper 21x9. Can be edited for 32x9. Indoor aspect ratio is Zoomed 21x9 proper aspect ratio on 4x3 scrolling backgrounds. All cutscenes are true 21x9. All UI is stretched 16x9 to Fullscreen for map compatibility. SUWSF supports all game executables. Manual hex edits supported. Download here https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/2432-final-fantasy-xx-2-hd-remaster-21x9-suwsf/?_fromLogin=1. |
4K Ultra HD |
|
Technically from findings it's not true 4K and possibly downscaled by a large factor because of the UI scaling with the game renderer. Can be edited via SUWSF for FFX.(not released) FFX-2 needs UI fix before release. (not released) Usage on a 3090 jumps from 20% to 70% at unlocked. Can be scaled up or down for ideal usage and image quality per computer. |
Field of view (FOV) |
|
Can be edited via the .exe but is not needed as all aspect ratios are supported and increased vertical fov is not supported in all scenes. |
Windowed |
|
|
Borderless fullscreen windowed |
|
True fullscreen mode is a borderless window. Use UnX for proper fullscreen mode. |
Anisotropic filtering (AF) |
|
Up to 16x. Forcing it in the GPU control panel has better results though.[3] |
Anti-aliasing (AA) |
|
FXAA, SMAA and up to 8x MSAA. |
Vertical sync (Vsync) |
|
Game always runs in windowed mode, making in-game vsync non-functional (use UnX for proper fullscreen and vsync). |
60 FPS and 120+ FPS |
|
|
High dynamic range display (HDR) |
