About
Event
The Art of Final Fantasy X/X-2 was an art gallery exhibit to celebrate the global launch of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster for the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita. It held charity auctions that featured concept art for Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. The auctions were organized to raise money for UNICEF's Typhoon Haiyan relief efforts.
Fundraising results
On May 22, 2014, Square Enix announced that it managed to raise US$40,000 and was donated to UNICEF’s Typhoon Haiyan Relief operation.
Yusuke Naora, the art director of the original Final Fantasy X, stated "In Final Fantasy X, we portrayed a disaster in the village of Kilika. While we normally write stories that are about saving the world, I wondered if there was anything we could do through our games to share the pain felt by those affected. I hope that I was able to achieve that through the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Online Art Auction."[1]
