With only around a week standing between us today and the international PS3 / PS Vita launch of Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster, Square Enix have opted to promote the visual enhancements made to the battle systems of both games at least one last time through the below set of screenshots.

Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster is set to contain high-definition editions of both Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 which were originally released on the PlayStation 2 during 2001 and 2003 respectively. This collection will also feature International Edition features across both games and the bonus chapter “Last Mission” that previously has been exclusive to the Japanese market.

FINAL FANTASY X

In ages past, the world of Spira experienced a golden age of perfection, brought about by an advanced civilization through the use of wondrous machinery called machina.

However, around one thousand years before the present day, a colossal menace known only as “Sin” appeared and sundered all before it. Though a line of summoners have since brought Sin low many times, it inevitably returns in an unending cycle of destruction. In the face of this ever-pervasive threat, the people of Spira flocked to the teachings of Yevon, which tell that Sin is a punishment to those who relied overly on machina.

Tidus is a young Blitzball star that mysteriously finds himself in Spira after his home city of Zanarkand is destroyed by Sin one thousand years in the past. Believing Sin to be the key to returning home, Tidus joins a young summoner named Yuna on her pilgrimage to destroy Sin and bring about the Calm.

FINAL FANTASY X-2

Two years have passed since Sin was destroyed. Since her victory and becoming a high summoner, Yuna has lived on her childhood home of Besaid Island. Then one day, Rikku comes to Besaid and shows Yuna a sphere. The recording is of him. Or is it?

Yuna can’t tell whether it’s him or just someone who looks like him. If it is him, Yuna might be able to see him one more time. No matter what the truth may be, the answers she finds may change things forever.
