Looks like Tidus's blitzball field sprung a leak: Square Enix slipped a Steam page for Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster on Steam. The package deal will unlock on May 12, this Thursday.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster "celebrates two of the most cherished and beloved entries to the world-renowned franchise," per the game's Steam page. Besides characters, backgrounds, and other visual assets given an HD coat of paint, the PC version will include a rearranged soundtrack and content from international editions of the game previously only available in Europe and Japan.

Plenty of Steam-specific bells and whistles will be on hand, too. Each game includes achievements, cloud backups for saves, and Steam trading cards.

Recommended specs include a 2.4 GHz quad-core processor, 2 GB of RAM, a semi-modern GeForce or Radeon card, and roughly 40 GB of space on your hard drive.

    Same here. I stopped playing them after the SNES ones, and later entries being available on PC is tempting me to play catch-up.

  This is far from my favorite FF game, but I sure as hell will buy it again.

  I remember the game being pretty decent, but that was when the character design went completely off the deep end. Some of those costume designs were an eyesore.

      Yeah input lag fucks you. I think you can still stand in the rock waiting for the lightning bolt in distance but still not worth the effort :( hopefully the PC version would allow you to mod/alter to get it.

    There's a spot you can exploit. From what I hear, it's pretty easy (but still requires the patience to do it).

  Um, ok! I may actually buy this just because of my "I wonder what this would look like on PC" fetish.
  
  Goofy game, but not un-fun.

  I'd buy this in a second of it were 60fps. I'm guessing not though.
