Final Fantasy X, X-2 HD Remake to Launch on One Disc for PS3
Both the remake of Final Fantasy X and X-2 in high-definition will be released on just one disc for the PlayStation 3 sometime this year.
Each of these Square-Enix produced titles will also be available for the PS Vita, however, they will be offered separately on the handheld.
"These games are classic fan-favorites, and we hope that new and old Final Fantasy fans can experience the world of Spira and the story of Tidus and Yuna in a brand-new light with these re-mastered editions," said X and X-2 producer Yoshinori Kitase.

The HD remake of Final Fantasy X was first announced towards the end of 2011. Square will launch an official trailer for both games sometime next week.
The company made sure fans knew that the game would be re-mastered and not remade when it was first announced.
Square Enix commented on the Final Fantasy X re-mastering, stating that it will come out with better visuals combined with "familiar gameplay."
"A regular HD re-mastering similar to the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection released last year, which is what this appears to be, would only see the game's visuals touched up to look more presentable on modern platforms," wrote the site.
This re-master seems to be nothing more than a glorified port of the popular title. Final Fantasy X was the first title in the series to be released on the PlayStation 2 console.
It changed the series in many ways by including voice acting and eliminating the trademark interactive world map that was present in most Final Fantasy titles before it. It also marked a significant graphic update in the series.
It was also the first Final Fantasy to have a direct sequel with Final Fantasy X-2 that was released in 2003.
