Though Square Enix had already revealed that there would be a DLC pack for Final Fantasy XIII-2 to feature Final Fantasy XIII protagonist Lighting, they didn’t really explain just how it would fit into the new sequel. A report from an edition of Weekly Famitsu (and spotted by Andriasang) reveals that not only will players be able to add Lightning to their party, but that her DLC will also include some “secret story missions.”

Lightning is just one of the many characters and bosses to be included in the coliseum battle mode. Defeating Lightning there will allow you to add her to your party for the rest of the game. The Famitsu article also says fans can expect some classic Final Fantasy bosses to appear in coliseum mode. As for the story DLC, Square didn’t reveal much, as the content is supposedly a secret. Despite not knowing what the story entails, it’s still good to hear that the DLC for Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be more than just new weapons and costumes.

Famitsu also notes that Square would like to expand upon the Final Fantasy XIII-2 story with novels and additional DLC, which may or may not include characters such as Sazh. There is no timetable yet for release, but fans of Final Fantasy XIII-2 should be glad to hear Square will be supporting the game well after launch.
