Square Enix U.S.A. announced today that Final Fantasy X-2, the direct sequel (a FF first, might I add) to the acclaimed RPG Final Fantasy X, will be shipping to retail stores on November 18, weeks earlier than the game's originally scheduled release in December.



"We are thrilled to release Final Fantasy X-2 just in time for the holidays. Final Fantasy X-2 will take gamers on exciting new adventures, building upon the intense, emotional storyline they experienced in Final Fantasy X," said Jun Iwasaki, chief executive officer and president of Square Enix U.S.A. "This game is not just another sequel. Not only will the fans of the original get to enjoy the continuation of the story, but Final Fantasy X-2 offers a completely new gameplay experience that will appeal to anyone who's looking for a fun-filled adventure."
