All other third party retailers authorized by Square Enix are also carrying the same 20% off instant discount during release week. At GMG, you can even STACK an additional 25% off coupon to tally the total price down to only $17.99 - a full 40% off the list price.
Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster: $18 (Steam) Use Code: DEALZON25
The 20% instant savings across all retailers will end on Wednesday, May 18th, but the stacking coupon above will end even earlier on Monday the 16th. After that, you can still use a 20% off code for a few more days before the release week discount goes away completely (until it returns a few months down the line, anyways).

Besides Steam trading cards, this is what the PC version will net you. We should note that if you want English text with a Japanese audio you’re currently semi-out of luck. Japanese audio only comes with Japanese text for Final Fantasy X-2, but there is already a mod which allows you to pick Japanese audio with English text for Final Fantasy X. Here’s hoping Final Fantasy X-2 support will come around eventually.
