FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Launch Trailer and Release Date Revealed

View fullsize

Square Enix loves their HD remakes, and their latest HD offering has finally received a release date! Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD will be hitting shelves on March 18, 2014 for North America and March 21, 2014 for Europe and other PAL countries. I like release date announcements like this. We've been anticipating this game for quite a while, and now that we have a date it is right around the corner! And if you pre-order the game now, you'll get a free upgrade to the shiny Limited Edition, which gets you an art book or something.

We officially put a launch date on the heavily anticipated Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster coming March 18, 2014. FINAL FANTASY X|X-2 HD Remaster celebrates two of the most cherished and beloved entries to the world-renowned franchise, now completely remastered in gorgeous High Definition!

Accompanying the release announcement is a new launch trailer that is very good looking, especially compared to the original. While FF X isn't my favorite Final Fantasy game, I absolutely love its story, and this new remake in beautiful HD will provide the wonderful new way to experience it. I got chills just watching the launch trailer and remembering the first time I played FFX. And maybe FF X-2 might be worth playing now. It is generally regarded as low quality fan service, but it definitely has some fans. We'll be able to play it again in HD and see if it is any good, again, early next year.
