FFXIII-2 Heads or Tails DLC details

Thursday, February 16th, 2012

As we reported earlier, a new DLC package is on the way for Final Fantasy XIII-2 that features a Sazh Katzroy as well as some new outfits for our protagonists. The DLC scenario is called “Heads or Tails” and features Sazh and Dajh as they travel through time and end up in the enigmatic casino Serendipity. Upon completion, you’ll be able to unlock Sazh as a “monster” party member much like Lightning, Amodar, and Omega. Two new card games will be added to Serendipity: Serendipity Poker and Chronobird which Sazh will play in his scenario. This DLC will cost $4.99 or 400 Microsoft Points. Cheaper than my own earlier prediction!

In addition to that, two new costumes for $2.99/240msp each will be available on the same day. Serah Farron will get her pink bikini Beachwear costume, and Noel Kreiss gets a blue armored Spacetime Guardian outfit.

All aforementioned DLC will be available Tuesday, February 28th across all regions.

Take a look at the screenshots below to see more.

Well, it sure has been a while since we had a live-action Final Fantasy commercial. What was the last one? Oh yeah… this. Anyway, jolly ol’ “Mr. Richardson” entertains us with a summary of Final Fantasy XIII-2 just before the dubstep kicks in. Our social media manager Ty assures me it sounds like bathtub farts, and I’m inclined to agree with him. Anyway…

Jihl Nabaat makes it rain in FFXIII-2 DLC

Sunday, February 12th, 2012

You probably remember Jihl Nabaat from Final Fantasy XIII, the code confused Sanctum official in charge of manipulating Sazh and his son Dajh. She met her untimely end not long after, but it seems she’s back from the dead to duel Serah and Noel in the Coliseum. You’ll likely be able to recruit her into your party after you crystallize her, like Lightning and Amodar. The DLC release date has yet to be revealed, but expect it to be somewhat soon.

Director Toriyama comments on FFXIII-2 DLC

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

Final Fantasy XIII-2 will have a host of upcoming DLC over the coming months, featuring outfits, Coliseum battles, and scenarios to expand the story. Via Impress Watch, director Toriyama expounded on this information to say that a sizable Lightning DLC scenario in the works and the team is still working on developing addition DLC for the game. Additional stories are planned around the cast of the original Final Fantasy XIII, which may take the form of in-game DLC or novellas such as “episode i”.

Also of note is a earlier comment by the team on the DLC schedule; it seems that content is currently planned for release through May of this year. If there are any expansions to FFXIII-2 beyond that, they have yet to be announced.

Lightning and Amodar will appear together in the game’s Coliseum in a DLC care package slated for Tuesday. You can read more on that here.
