As we’ve already said, the PC version of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster is locked at 30fps. And as you may have guessed, modders are currently looking into ways to unlock the framerate. One of them is YouTube’s ‘Naxshe’ who has released the first test video for his 60fps mod.
As we can see, the game’s animations, speed and music are tied to the actual framerate. As a result of that, this first version of Naxshe’s 60fps is not that good. Thankfully the modder has not released his mod yet, so here is hoping that he will be able to resolve these issues.
Enjoy the video and stay tuned for more!

That’s the only negative about the port isn’t it? I’ve heard no complaints about performance or glitches (apart from some minor language issues).
The other fairly big negative is nearly all of the cutscenes are unskippable. Only a few big FMV cutscenes can be skipped.
Oh, and also their implementation of fast-forward is very poor. You cannot use it during in-engine cutscenes (which happen all the time). Also, when you use fast-forward it mutes all sound effects and music, which is a terrible implementation compared to FFVII/FFVIII, which both do it properly.
Some people getting microstutter, myself included. No issues other than that.
A looooot of people are having issues with the game crashing in transitions… There’s multiple points in the game where people crash consistently and there’s a whole ton of points where random crashes happen but sometimes.
I’m currently stuck because although the game runs perfectly most of the time, it crashes 100% of the time after a certain long boss fight.
I take it it does not have denuvo in order to be able to mod the exe for 60 fps?
why would a 15 year old game have denuvo?
Why would a new one have it too amirite? 😉
Because Piracy is bad!
After all, it’s better for you to buy it first, & then realize what sh*tty purchase it was, rather than try it for free, & then not buy it because, oh, it’s not actually worth it >.<
Fan efforts are really apreciated but not gonna buy a sh ! t that comes broken, devs needs to learn.
“Broken”.
its not “broken” lol its a turn based jrpg that while 60fps is always nicer than 30, its a turn based jrpg meaning 30fps does not take away from the game. It was designed that way back on the ps2 so where is it “broken”? if it was a real time combat jrpg like ff15 will be or kingdom hearts yes 60 is kind of important. 30fps isnt broken, broken means not working and as an owner of the ROMs, the ps4 remake and the steam version(im somewhat of a FF fan)i can assure you its not broken. No bugs, glitches, audio sounds great, visuals are as nice as they can be for a port, no fps hitches or drops so no, sir, its not broken, the only thing thats broken is your way of thinking.
the 30fps is fine in this title. Its not like playing a modern AAA game at 30fps. Its smooth and beyond the animations, is juder/stutter free.
You can also delete all X-2 related files from the install folder if you dont want that abomination of a game on you HDD and X will work fine.
And yet a smooth 60fps will still make it so much better to look at.
Its simply looks fast forwarded. You can achieve the exact same thing minus the audio stutter just by pressing F1 (might be F2, cant remember) in game.
