For just a bit longer—yes, just a few more days—the PS Store is throwing this Big Games Big Deals bash. I mean, seriously, who could resist the name? Anyway, if you’re like me and constantly eyeing those PS4 and PS5 gems, this is your playground. And hey, they’ve even dusted off a couple of classic PS2 JRPGs for an encore on the PS4. Feeling nostalgic yet?
### Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Is Just $9.99!
So, here’s the scoop: Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster is going for a mere $9.99 on the PS Store. Just let that sink in. It’s a 60% slash from its usual $24.99. Makes you wonder, why they didn’t do this sooner, right? Clock’s ticking, though, since the deal vanishes on May 8 at 2:59 a.m. ET.
Let’s get into the story bits, if you’re into that. Final Fantasy X spins the yarn of Tidus—a blitzball star (yeah, sport with a funky name)—who teams up with Yuna. She’s on this grand mission to save Spira from the chaos unleashed by, well, Sin. Sounds intense, huh?
Now, jump two years forward with Final Fantasy X-2. It’s the Spira world again, but this time Yuna’s turned Sphere Hunter. She’s joined by Rikku and Paine, and they’re piecing together some mystery. I read it twice to make sure I got it—there’s a sphere, some image… it’s intriguingly complicated.
This remaster doesn’t just dress up the oldies in HD finery. You’ve got spruced-up visuals and sounds, plus you can save across PS3 and PS Vita. Cross-save, they call it. I call it handy.
When these beauties first hit the scene, critics showered them with love. Final Fantasy X snagged a whopping 92 on Metacritic. People were raving! And not to leave X-2 out—it scored an 85. This remaster? Also 85. It’s like comfort food for your gaming soul.
Alright, before I get too wrapped up in memory lane, if these games are your thing, do yourself a favor. Grab ‘em while they’re hot!
