XBLIGs were buried under various menus and sub categories, making the task of finding them a quest in itself.

More DLC is on the way to help explain what happens at the end.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 was intended to right the wrongs of its predecessor, and it did a pretty good job of that, even if it faltered in spots. One of those problem areas was with the game’s ending. We don’t like to spoil story here at PixlBit, but for this news story it is necessary.
