It’s weird to be seeing DLC for a game that’s not even released here yet, but that’s what we’ve got with Final Fantasy XIII-2: Omega DLC media, not to mention some Frontier Gate, Dragon Quest X, Shining blade, and Lord of Apocalypse.
A recent deal between Square Enix and Ubisoft has led to a rather unexpected tie-in for the upcoming Final Fantasy XIII-2. Protagonist Noel Kreiss will have access to Ezio Auditore’s outfit as it appears in Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. The costume will be available via DLC, though no price has been set.

In a recent interview, Final Fantasy producer Yoshinori Kitase talked about a trend towards action-RPGs in the context of FFXIII and its upcoming sequel. He states that, globally, he sees players moving away from traditional turn-based games towards more action-oriented titles, and that “you ignore things like that at your peril.”
Regarding FFXIII and XIII-2, he added “XIII and XIII-2‘s battle systems have those elements of speed and action that are the key words for us.” He also added that Final Fantasy traditionally presents something new with each game, and that they’re not necessarily going to stick with XIII‘s style of gameplay going forward.

Square Enix revealed the not-at-all-unexpected Collector’s Edition for their upcoming Final Fantasy XIII-2. For $79.99, up $20 over the standard package, players get a 20-page artbook, special case designed by Yoshitaka Anamo, and the game soundtrack which spans a hefty four discs. Store-specific preorder bonuses were also detailed: GameStop has an extra costume for Sarah, Amazon throws in a unique boss fight against Omega, and Best Buy includes a hardcover book that fills in gaps between XIII and the sequel.
XIII-2 is set for a January 31 release in the States, with a February 3 launch in Europe.
