Classic PS2 JRPGs Available for Under $10 on PS Store for a Limited Time

Man, let me tell you—there’s this thing happening on the PS Store. And who knows why I even noticed it, maybe because I’m a sucker for nostalgia? So, for a few more days, they’re doing this Big Games Big Deals thing. Yeah, some solid discounts on PS4 and PS5 games. I stumbled upon it while aimlessly browsing. Specifically, there’s these two legendary JRPGs from the PS2 days. Remember those? They got a glow-up for the PS4 a decade ago, believe it or not.

Okay, so here’s where it gets interesting. Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster is going for $9.99 right now. Yup, you read that right. That’s a whopping 60% off, usually $24.99. But hey, gotta be quick. The deal vanishes on May 8 at 2:59 a.m. ET. Why do these sales have such odd expiration times? Can’t say I know, but that’s the scoop.

The first one, Final Fantasy X, it’s about this blitzball star, Tidus. He ends up on this quest—saving the world with this summoner, Yuna. Big stuff, big monsters, big adventure. And hey, somehow it sticks with you. Then there’s Final Fantasy X-2, set in the same world but a bit later. Yuna, now a Sphere Hunter—whatever that really means—goes off with Rikku and Paine on this globe-trotting mystery.

Here’s the kicker: they didn’t just slap a new coat of paint on these classics. The visuals and audio got the full remaster treatment. Plus, for those old-school cross-platform fans, there’s a save feature that works with PS3 and PS Vita. Neat, right?

Back when these games first dropped, critics loved ’em. Metacritic scores? Final Fantasy X got a 92. I mean, that’s pretty impressive. X-2 didn’t fall too far behind with an 85. The remaster? Same score, 85. It’s kind of crazy how they keep ranking so high. Maybe I’m biased because I kinda grew up with these games, but they’re practically classics now.

Anyway, if you’ve got a PlayStation, maybe check it out. Or don’t. No pressure. Just thought it was worth sharing.
