It’s strange that my first two RPG Site hands-on articles of E3 2013 are of HD remakes of decade-old games - but it just seems to be the current trend. Yesterday I tackled Fable Anniversary, the HD do-over of Lionhead’s original Xbox classic, and now it’s the PlayStation’s turn with Final Fantasy X and X-2 HD Remaster, the PS3 port of the classic PS2 FF.
