Square Enix Donates $40,000 to UNICEF's Typhoon Haiyan Relief Fund

Square Enix is currently running an online auction where fans can bid for plenty of unique art work from the new game Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster. The items included over 50 unique pieces of limited edition art from both titles. Read on for more details.

“In Final Fantasy X, we portrayed a disaster in the village of Kilika,” said Yusuke Naora, art director of the original Final Fantasy X. “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.”

In November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan caused a tremendous amount of damage in the Philippines that resulted in over 14 million people, including nearly six million children, being affected. With the help of the Philippine government and partner humanitarian organizations, UNICEF has been able to provide clean water, deliver emergency kits, open child-friendly spaces and temporary schools for thousands of students, and reunite lost children with their families.
