Final Fantasy X HD Remaster was released individually in the Japan and Asia regions. Outside of these regions, only Final Fantasy X has a physical release, but it includes a download code for Final Fantasy X-2. Those who pick up both Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 on PlayStation Vita can swap saves between systems to transfer data between the standalone Vita version and the PlayStation 3 counterpart.
