First look at Lightning’s scenario DLC

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Our first images of the forthcoming Final Fantasy XIII-2 DLC scenario involving Lightning called “Requiem of the Goddess”. It will pit Lightning against Caius yet again, but this time there will be battles involving the game’s battle system. Lightning has her own unique set of Paradigm roles to choose from as well. The scenario DLC will wrap up the story and provide some closure to the “message” that appears at the end of the game’s ending cinematic.

“Requiem of the Goddess” is scheduled for a May release on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.

Update: Below are screenshots and renders of the upcoming DLC outfits for Serah, Noel, and Mog!

Other DLC will include a Coliseum fight against Snow (which will be expanded into something of a scenario, we hear), Valfodr, and the final scenario with Lightning against Caius. Snow and Valfodr will drop Tuesday, May 15th, while Lightning will be slated for the end of the month.
