In some cases, these changes significantly improve the originals despite their minor nature. For the most part, the arrangers revise the palettes, upgrade the synth, and add a few extra lines here and there. The vast majority of the tracks on Final Fantasy X HD Remaster Original Soundtrack are minor revisions of the originals. Unfortunately, their arranged score only manages to make the soundtrack even more inconsistent than the original. Masashi Hamauzu and Junya Nakano returned to rearrange the soundtracks, with some assistance from Tsutomu Narita, Ryo Yamazaki, and Hirosato Noda. It was announced last-minute that the soundtrack for the title would be revamped. Twelve years later, Square Enix produced the high-definition port Final Fantasy X HD Remaster for PlayStation 3, 4 and Vita. The end result was the series’ most variable to date in terms of both style and quality, featuring both artistic masterpieces and colossal failures.

Having composed all nine previous games in the series alone, Nobuo Uematsu greatly struggled to compose this title and so took on colleagues Masashi Hamauzu and Junya Nakano to complete the effort.

But the score for the series was something of a mixed effort. Final Fantasy X HD Remaster Original Soundtrackįinal Fantasy X successfully brought the Final Fantasy series into a new generation with its cutting-edge graphics, gameplay, and of course audio.
