Sarah (7800 KP) created a post in Smashbomb Feedback

I have a question relating to a specific item, Final Fantasy X-X2 HD in video games (but this could apply to similar issues on other items):

Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X2 are two separate games and were originally released separately, although X2 is a sequel. However a few years ago, both games were remastered and released together on one disc - although they’re still very much two separate playable games on the one disc.

My question is, should these games be two separate items on the site as that’s how they were originally released? Or is the remastered version with both together fine to keep as an item in its own right? I don’t want to amend the current item with both if it’s ok to leave like this.

You wouldn’t have a separate item for an old film that has been rereleased on Blu-ray, so assuming the same would apply for games?

Not for sure, but I'd list it as the remastered version containing both games, since there's usually a release date or other identifying factors that would separate it from the original releases. It's a stand-alone product, and someone might be looking for info on that version. Also, sometimes there ends up being good or bad things in the re-released versions, and that info would be better specifically listed for each version of the game.

I would say that the remastered versions of games are fine to enlist as their own item since there are huge differences usually between the original and the remake. However, the game that was released on one combined disk would probably be listed as one item - Hope this helps! :)

I picked this one up during the summer for a holiday read, but have only just got around to reading it now.

And, I have to say, I was really impressed with it.

Telling the story of Tau Solarin, this probably falls somewhere between high fantasy (yes, there are dragons but no elves or dwarves or such like) and heroic fantasy (none of the characters are really what you would call conventional heroes!), but nor is it what I would call Dark fantasy (you can understand why they are doing what they are doing, with none of the characters really anti-heroes).

I'm looking forward to finding out more about the background, culture, beliefs and (in general) the world in future instalments: just what was The Cull, for instance, and why did the Omehi have to flee from it?

At that, how did the caste system come about? Will it be overthrown ... ?

Wonderfully wacky watchable film
I love this director, the same one who created Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's equally wacky, the topic slightly fantasy based just like in ESOFSM. The characters are loveable and the dream sequences are wondrous to behold.
