Square Enix, Inc., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX® interactive entertainment products in the Americas, today announced that its critically-acclaimed RPG, FINAL FANTASY® X/X-2 HD Remaster is now available in North America for the PlayStation®3 system and PlayStation®Vita systems. Completely remastered in high-definition, the compilation brings two fan-favorite, timeless classics – FINAL FANTASY X and FINAL FANTASY X-2 for new and old fans.
Considered a ground-breaking milestone for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, FINAL FANTASY X was the first in the series to incorporate voice acting and full 3D graphics. In the remastered version, the artwork has been beautifully reworked and redrawn, and new character voices are included as part of the new 30-minute audio drama that will be played during the ending credits.
“Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster is the best way to play one of the best JRPGs ever” –IGN (9.3/10)
“Whether you’re taking a trip down memory lane or experiencing Final Fantasy X for the first time, you won’t be disappointed” – Game Informer (9/10, Gold Award, April Issue)
The game features brand-new content for the North American market and will provide players with an entirely new way to experience the world of Spira. Players will be able to watch the Eternal Calm, a short film following Yuna after the events of FINAL FANTASY X. Additionally, Last Mission, the storyline-based mission following Yuna, Rikku and Paine in their exploration of the Iutycyr Tower ruins will make its North American debut.
