Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Release Date Announced For Japan, But Not North America
Square Enix has finally unveiled a Japanese release date for the PlayStation 3 and Vita Final Fantasy X and X-2 HD re-releases, but it still hasn't announced its North American plans.
The games will be available in Japan on December 26. The PlayStation 3 game is packaged X and X-2 on one disc. The Vita versions of the games will be separate releases, but they will also be sold together at a bundled price that comparable to the PlayStation 3 version.
North American release plans for the game are still ambiguous, but both games are coming. For more on the game, check out the latest trailer.

Our Take
Since Square Enix did not announce a worldwide release date for the games, the assumption is that North America won't being seeing Final Fantasy X and X-2 in HD until next year. There's a chance that Square Enix could reveal later that the game will receive a simultaneous worldwide release, but it doesn't seem likely.
