Recently at Gamescon in Germany, Square Enix graced us with even more goodies with Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster! With this new release, these popular entries are getting the all star treatment. Including content that was previously only available to Europe and Japanese releases, this new Remaster will attempt to bring new and old fans back into the series with this fun remaster.
