Final Fantasy FXN Network News

Final Fantasy XIII-2's big Lightning VS Caius download content scenario was announced weeks ago, but Square Enix still hasn't said when we'll be getting it. The wait may finally be coming to an end, though.

Dengeki PlayStation reveals this week that the DLC will be released some time in May. It will follow Snow's DLC, which is due on May 15.

As previously detailed, the Lightning DLC is titled Requiem of the Goddess. The scenario will show Lightning and Caius in a different form of battle from what we saw in the main game.

It looks like Square Enix has a whole lot planned for May. In addition to the Requiem of the Goddess DLC, we can also look forward to White Mage Serah and Black Mage Noel costumes. We'll also be getting some Moogle costumes.

All this comes after the Snow and Valfodr DLC.

*Update*

The Final Fantasy XIII-2 Japanese website has updated that the following DLC will be avaliable on May 15th.

• Snow and Valfodr “Arena of Eternity”: ¥400/320MSP
• Lightning’s Story “Requiem of the Goddess”: ¥600/400MSP
• Serah’s White Mage costume: ¥300/240MSP
• Noel’s Black Mage costume: ¥300/240MSP
• Moogle 16 piece costume set: ¥300/240MSP

FFXIII-2 Valfodr and Snow has been confirmed as DLC! The content will be available on May 15th, pricing has yet to be announced and will be Snow's episode.

The idea behind the episode came from the game's female staffers.The episode's theme is "Don't fight for me," and will show the feelings Snow and Serah have one for one-another.

Director Motomu Toriyama said that the episode will clear up some mysteries behind the coliseum itself. And details about Snow's mission as a L'Cie will be given.

Valfodr appears in the second half of Snow's episode. He appears to be quite the foe, with the ability to use weapons, magic and summons. He will have to defeat him multiple times throughout the episode. Each time, he comes back at higher level and with additional abilities.

Back in November of last year, Square Enix announced a collaboration with Ubisoft by which you’d be able to dress Noel up like Ezio Auditore from the Assassin’s Creed series via a DLC costume. After that initial announcement, Square didn’t bring the subject up again, and went on to announce and release their Mass Effect collaboration instead.

The Ezio costume is still on its way, however. Square Enix Europe mentioned today that Noel will be able to don Ezio’s clothing “soon”. No dates have been provided either for Japan or the US/EU for now.

Lightning is coming back to Final Fantasy XIII-2. As reported a few weeks back, the FFXIII hero's second XIII-2 download content will be released in May and will show Lighthing and villain Caius in a different form of battle from what we saw in the main game.

Dengeki PlayStation reveals the episode's name to be "Requiem of the Goddess."

That's all we know at the moment, but an appearance in Dengeki or Famitsu usually means that Square Enix will make official announcement of the DLC (along with screenshots hopefully) later in the week.
