Final Fantasy XIII-2 DLC stars Sazh: release date and price

Also includes Chronobind and Serendipity Poker cardgames

Final Fantasy XIII-2 DLC pack Sazh: Heads or Tails will arrive on 28th February for Xbox 360, a day ahead of the PS3 release.

It gives you control of Final Fantasy XIII's afro-tastic, Chocobo-owning gunman, and costs 400 MP. That's on top of some additional card games for Final Fantasy XIII-2's casino area, "Chronobind" and "Serendipity Poker".

This could be the first of many story expansions starring FFXIII veterans. Guidebooks for the game mention Snow and Lightning "volumes" which are reportedly "character specific episodes".

Add all this to the Xbox 360 exclusive weapon DLC already available for the game.

Downloadable costumes are also due on 21st February, priced at 240 MP. Leading lady Serah gets "Beachwear" clothing that mostly isn't clothing at all, if you follow me, while her young man Noel helps himself to a "Spacetime Guardian" outfit.

  1. .... :shock: beachware??? looks like styling by ff10-2....

  2. Personally Sazh was one of my least liked characters from 13...but vanille is still number one hated character from both games. I'd be more interested if they brought out the content continuing the story from the ending...and it should be free, as 13-2 Was WAAAAAAAAAAAY to short or are they doing the unthinkable and making us wait two years for Final Fantasy XIII-3??

  3. a THIRD continuation??? 1 direct follow on is rare enough for final fantisy, 2 is next to unheard of... the closest they came to it was for seven and even then it was a move (advent children) then a action third person shooter (dirdge of cerberus) then a prequel (crises core). and thats only caus it has the bigest fan base. no i think it will be LOTS of dlc... its got a hub location... prety much alowes for an unlimeted amount of new times and locations.

  4. Loads of DLC but I havent heard or read anything that says it will continue the story, It seems to be all making up the back stories that brought Snow and Sazh,(maybe hope too) into the future and obviously lightnings time in Vahalla...dont know if you've finished it but it seems like a third could happen, if it sells enough and the DLC sells well then i guess why wouldnt they...They're a company trying to make a profit right

  5. i supose so... since 13 is the first (proper) one to come to 360, and since 14 is an mmorpg(i beleve), they may even wait till next gen for 15 so theyll need to fill the time gap with something. but it would have to be big. it would mean the first offical final fantisy "trilogy", and am i remembering corectly or wasnt 13 origonaly laid out as a 3 world game?

  6. I didn't like Sazh too much either if im honest, either in character or battle so this doesn't really grab my attention...

    I read something about 3 games too for 13, what i read was that there were going to be 3 set in the same world etc, not that they'd necessarily follow on from each other - sequels/prequels etc.

  7. I remember reading that too, anyone know where Final Fantasy versus 13 fits into it? If they do make a third I think the historia crux should be done away with and they should go back to the huge landscapes of final fantasy 12 and bring back summons to have a more promient role

    Wasn't versus 13 meant to be a PS3 exclusive originally to appease Sony for signing with MS? Heard jack about it since but i'll admit it's not something i've kept tabs on as despite owning a PS3, it's been used for games maybe three times in the past year?

  9. it wouldn't serprise me if they did use a phoenix down on versus but it depends on how far they got in the development to begin with. if theyre doing another seperate FF on the 360 i doubt we shall see a third enstalment in the pulsian tale... but if they decide to wait for next gen.... maybeey the first FF trilogy is around the corner.

    btw i found and tamed a red chocobo... can he go faster in the chocobo races???

  10. I was always hoping the Final Fantasy 13 games were a test to see how they could implement FFVII into next gen software...the only chavracter worth saving is Snow, it seems like towars th e end of FF13 they werent sure who the main protagonist was...Snow was interesting to me than lightining...quite drunk when typing this so sorry

  11. can you edit the post when your sober caus im not sure i get you point...

    as far as a 7 remake goes they cant on this gen as the anount of data needed would cover over 5 discs

  12. LOL the point i was trying to make was the it must kill Squareenix to know that despite how flashy a game they make, with stunning CGI and fast paced battle system people will still compare it to a game that is 15 years old. Im all for change but any and all Final Fantasy fans are hoping for a remake of VII (doubt they will ever do it) but its nice to dream.
    Anyone else not think Snow was the more likeable Character out of the FF13 gang??

  13. can you edit the post when your sober caus im not sure i get you point...

    True, all those pre rendered locations were easy to squeeze on a CD back in the day but having to model everything from scratch would take up alot of data...was interview on here with one of FF13-2 deveolpment team, he said that if a remake ever happened there would be big changes and probably some things would be cut out of the game completely...so i guess they have thought about it in some shape or form.

  14. yea it sequel syndrome... no matter how good the next one is, its alwase compared to its predecesors and since 13 has 12+ of them theres a lot of comparasons to be made.... the only way forward for square now is ither back and do a remake or somthing sooooo diferent it cant be compared to any preaveous FFs.... boath are riskey but lets face it if they dont do it soon theyl be stuck in a rut.

    Maybe they should do what Capcom did with resident evil 4, New engine, New gameplay dynamic just a total refresh of the series

  16. maybee... an even if that fails then the next time they can do the whole "were going back to our roots" shpeel

    back to the topic of dlc is there a posibility of a BF location... befour the events of 13?
