Check back in May for another Paradigm Shift.
Square Enix has announced the latest batch of planned DLC for Final Fantasy XIII-2, which will once again focus on Lightning. In Lightning’s Story: Requiem of the Goddess, players will be treated to hidden truths behind the game’s mysterious endings. It will depict the battle between Lightning and Cauis not shown in the main game. Outside of Lightning, the expansion will also rope in Final Fantasy XIII stars, Sazh and Snow.
This isn't the way you extend the life of an RPG with DLC.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 is the first game in the series to feature downloadable content, and the Lightning/Amodar battle is the very first piece of content to be released. While it’s great to see Square Enix taking steps into a new space, it’s clear that they need to do a little more research before the next DLC comes out.
If you beat her, you can have her.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 has finally been released here in North America, but Japan got a DLC release instead, as the game has been available in that region for some time now. Due in North America on February 7, 2012, the upcoming DLC will let players fight against Final Fantasy XIII protagonist Lightning, accompanied by Lt. Amoda. If you defeat her, she will join your party.
The previous FF XIII leading lady will only be playable through DLC.
According to an article posted at Andriasang, Final Fantasy XIII’s previous heroine, Lightning, can be acquired as a playable character in the upcoming sequel, provided you purchase the DLC.

Next week you'll be able to get a taste of the sequel to 2010's most controversial RPG.
The Final Fantasy XIII-2 demo will be hitting Xbox Live and PSN next week. North American PSN users will get the demo on January 10 and Xbox Live users will see it a day later on January 11. The full game releases about two weeks later on January 31, so this gives gamers plenty of time to test it out.
The weathered gunslinger isn't in the main story.
It’s difficult to believe that we’re less than two months away from the U.S. release of Final Fantasy XIII-2, especially when you consider that it isn’t part of the infamous Fabula Nova Crystalis initiative that was announced long before XIII came out. We’re still waiting on Final Fantasy Versus XIII to be in playable form, but this direct sequel to the divisive entry in the long-running series is almost here. Expect a full preview from PixlBit soon, but for now, we have some interesting information about this anticipated release.
A remade version of the game is coming to the PC and PS3
Final Fantasy XIV was released in September of last year for the PC and was plagued with bad glitches and bugs. As a result, the PS3 version of the MMO was delayed until the PC version's issues were addressed. Square Enix has now revealed a remade version of the game, set to be released in fourth quarter of 2012. This new version 2.0 will be implimented between October and December of 2012 and then will be release at retail for both the PC and PS3 in the beginning of 2013.
