We’ve been waiting to be able to share this with you – so it’s great to now announce that pre-orders for Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster are now open… and that we’re also releasing a Limited Edition across all European and PAL territories!
Included in the Limited Edition is a great collection of concept art from the original Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 games, all contained in a smart artwork book.
But if you want to get your hands on it, you’ll have to hurry, because stock is limited – so keep watching your favourite retailers as the pre-order links go online!

-North America -

Hey everybody! I know you’re all excited about FINAL FANTASY X|X-2 HD Remaster, so it brings me great joy to announce that, in very limited quantities, those who pre-order the game on PlayStation 3 for $39.99 will receive a free upgrade to the Limited Edition art book package!

I’ll go ahead and wait for you to stop jumping up and down or tweeting your friends.

…

Now on to the fun part! We’re offering you several pieces of original concept art from the early development phases of FINAL FANTASY X and X-2 over ten years ago, lovingly bound in a beautiful 24-page art book package. I mean, just look at that thing! It’s so… gorgeous…

But that’s not all! We’ve also gathered quotes and commentary from several of the original development team members, including a special message to you, the fans, from Producer Yoshinori Kitase himself!

In case you’re not in the know, FINAL FANTASY X|X-2 HD Remaster will be available on PS3 for $39.99 and includes the original FINAL FANTASY X and FINAL FANTASY X-2 from PlayStation 2, on the same disc and remastered in gorgeous High Definition. These are based on the International Versions of the game which were previously only released in Japan and Europe, and you won’t have to wait long because it’s coming to you soon!

[Dits]

Vita?

 

[Byronic Hero]

I can only hope that the US will get something similar.

 

[Kyoufu]

Will buy.

 

[GreenMakoEyes]

will definitely buy!

 

[SeZMehK]

I will definitely buy this. Hopefully the Vita version gets the same treatment... :/ I would most definitely double dip.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Watch NA get nothing, lol. Though Kingdom Hearts ReMix 1.5 HD is getting an artbook, surely all territories would get this.

 

[raven777]

I can only hope that the US will get something similar.

they are

 

[TheContact]

Oh man that is really cool. As an American I am jealous and hope this comes to us

Edit: Sweet, it is! I am so hyped for this!

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

Ultros will be all over this

 

[Naughty God]

Vita?

Vita version is apparently digital download only.

I'll be getting that since I don't want to waste money paying for a game I have no interest in (X-2).

 

[TheChaos0]

And Vita, where?

 

[RyoonZ]

Yay, can't get the bonus both this and KH.

 

[Suairyu]

Joy! Another cheap artbook pack-in!

 

[Byronic Hero]

they are

Welp, time to pre order.

 

[Jellzy]

Vita?

An edition with both games would be nice.

 

[Mithrandir]

This is coming to Vita as well. What's currently unclear, is whether it's a cross-buy title, or whether there will be a LE Vita version...

Would be a bummer if the Cross-save function requires two separate purchases, like MGS HD did.

 

[RPGCrazied]

they are

Welp. Buying. Its weird though, there is still no release date. When they showed the artbook for KH, it came with a release date. So... we going to get one very soon now?

 

[Itchy//Tasty]

sogood.gif it actually makes up for the shitstack of a PAL version we got 11 years ago.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

That's nice.

I wish they'd make an equally nice package for FF XII HD.

Do it, SE.

Plz.

 

[Kikujiro]

YES

 

[ZeroAKA]

Only 24 pages though. :/

I guess it's better than nothing.

 

[Acquiescence]

Awwwww shit, I may well have to invest in this. FFX is just too darn special to pass up on a LE.

 

[ULTROS!]

My body.

I guess i have to spend $100 for the PS3 and Vita versions.

 

[Carbonox]

1000000000000000000000000000000000% on this.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Only 24 pages though. :/

I guess it's better than nothing.

Same as the Kingdom Hearts artbook, though that isn't getting special packaging. At least they haven't said if it does or not.

 

[Baleoce]

They should really consider throwing the Vita digital version code in with the PS3 limited edition as cross-buy.

 

[addik]

I'm not really in to Limited Edition boxsets (haven't bought any), but add the soundtracks to the set and it's going to be perfect.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Never finished this game on PS2. Will give it another chance on PS3.

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

What? Where's the Vita version?

 

[Shadow780]

WANT

How come they never mention the retailers who will be selling it?

 

[Blackthorn]

Is that a full size art book or one of those horrible diary-sized ones?

 

[Ultimadrago]

they are

It's time.

Pre-order Time.

 

[Lagunamov]

I want this for Vita.

 

[HT UK]

No mention of Vita version here or in the recent SD vs HD comparison video. Wonder if it's being delayed.

 

[MarshMellow96]

Weird that they say pre-orders are now open and then say keep an eye out for when pre-orders open.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Can a mod edit the title and OP with the NA info please.

Thanks

 

[Mokubba]

No mention of Vita version here or in the recent SD vs HD comparison video. Wonder if it's being delayed.

It won't surprise me.

I don't know why they can't make a special edition for it either

 

[Ikkarus]

It's nice.

I do have this annoying nag in the back of my head that the Vita version will be Digital only....... I really hope it's not.

 

[Zonic]

Only 24 pages though. :/

I guess it's better than nothing.

Yeah, was excited to hear the artbook bonus was true, but then saw it was a measly 24 pages. But guess it's the same as the KH 1.5 HD one. Meanwhile, the Dragon's Crown one is gonna be 64 pages. Oh well, still an alright bonus, especially since it's $40.

 

[TFORTOM]

Dammit, Australian stores update already!

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Those asking for Vita I think the games are being released seperately =/ cause apparently they can't fit the two games into the game cart...

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

Those asking for Vita i think the games are being released seperately =/ cause apparently they can't fit the two games into the game cart...

That doesn't mean they can't sell both games together and that's what we are asking for. We could have a bundle with both games and the art book but the Vita logo isn't even in the trailer at all.

 

[shink]

No sign of Vita is worrying. I just need a retail release.

 

[rainking187]

I guess I didn't pay enough attention to this title, I thought it was a Vita exclusive for some reason.

 

[Famassu]

Weird that they say pre-orders are now open and then say keep an eye out for when pre-orders open.

they probably mean that retailers can start selling it, but the retailers now have to put the pre-order up.

 

[ULTROS!]

No sign of Vita is worrying. I just need a retail release.

It was at the E3 conference (specifically the Vita "part") so no it's not cancelled.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

No mention of Vita version here or in the recent SD vs HD comparison video. Wonder if it's being delayed.

Most likely. Or canned completely in the West.

 

[SirUltimos]

I think I'm down for a preorder now. I'm a sucker for artbooks (even though I never actually look at them).

 

[Capell]

No Soundtrack?

Spoiler

Will buy.
