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.
