PlayStation 4 | PS4 | 8th-Genera...Final Fantasy FXN Network News
According to Famitsu, Square-Enix still is undecided if the Last Mission content will be added to the Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster. The game right now is based on the North American version of the game. The Japanese release of Final Fantasy X-2 International + Last Mission which came out after the NA release included three extra dress spheres (festivalist, psychic, and bare), a Last Mission event that takes place 3 months after the game ends in a massive new tower, and a system to capture monsters and characters (including some of the old faces like Tidus and Auron). DLC perhaps?
On another note, Square Enix has also opened up the Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster section on their site now, which can be found here.

Today, Square-Enix has put out statements that suggest lay-offs at their UK offices and that they are reviewing their business structure in Europe. Despite their games, such as Tomb Raider and Sleeping Dogs, selling well they did not meet the high expectations that Square-Enix has had for them. Here are the following statements:
“We are reviewing our business in Europe to ensure we have the right structure, content and skills for the changing entertainment landscape."
"We do expect changes to the UK office, which will affect personnel. We will update you when the time is right, but our priority right now is for the people within the business.”

Square Enix is releasing remastered versions of Final Fantasy IV, V and VI's soundtracks starting with the release of Final Fantasy IV Original Soundtrack Remaster Version on July 3rd. The soundtracks for V and VI have not yet been given a release date.
A teaser website is up which contains one notable bit of information; Yoshitaka Amano will be designing the boxart for the first-print copies of Final Fantasy IV's remastered soundtrack. The Final Fantasy V & VI sections of the site are still inaccessible so there's no additional information on those releases yet.
Those that wish to pre-order Final Fantasy IV Original Soundtrack Remaster Version can do so through either the Square Enix e-Store or Amazon.
