Since I really want to have a release date for the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster happen this year, I’ve been scouring the internet looking for any hints of it being a possibility, and it looks like Amazon France may have done just that.

Rather than just the standard ‘December 31st, 2013’ release date that every other site has listed, they have giving the Remaster a date of October 16th, while Zavvi has given it a release date of October 18th (in the UK, games generally release a day later than mainland Europe). If these two dates are true, it would suggest that the Remaster would launch on October 15th in North America.

With gamescom still going on and Square Enix promising that we’d hear “further information” about the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster at some point during the event, hopefully this means confirmation isn’t too far away.

When a firm release date is announced, we’ll be sure to let you know about it, but treat these retailer listings as a rumor right now.

How badly do you hope this October release date is right? Let us know in the comments below.
