Square Enix and Microsoft have paired up to create a special weapon DLC for Serah in Final Fantasy XIII-2.
The "Azrael" weapon, named after the angel of death, is said to have the ability to change your fate and it upgrades your chain bonus when equipped. The Xbox 360 exclusive weapon may be purchased from Chocolina (chapter 2 and onward in the main game) for 80 Microsoft points. The DLC will be available on Feburary 7 in Europe and PAL territories.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is available for North America on January 31 and Europe on February 3.
Now that Square Enix has released Final Fantasy XIII-2 in Japan, they have released a trailer to show their line up of DLC which will be coming to Japanese gamers very soon. The trailer shows off a new costume for Noel, two new costumes for Serah (one of which is a bikini), a costume for Lightning and a new monster to fight and recruit, Omega.

Square Enix continues to promote Final Fantasy XIII-2 by giving us a closer look at two of aspects of the game: the many enviorments featured in the game and the Historia Crux System.
The environment video shows footage of Serah and Noel exploring the terrain, pointing out that you can revisit familiar places or discover and explore new ones over different periods of time.
This other video is four and a half minutes long and focuses a lot on the Historia Crux system, the menu's appearance and how the system works. Also shows off the accessiblitiy of choccobos and some field locations such as Bresha and Academia.

Just about a week before it's release in Japan, Square Enix releases a small TV commercial for Final Fantasy XIII-2.
The trailer itself is 15 seconds long and solely consists of cutscene footage, most of which we've already seen in the previous trailers with a couple of exceptions. In one still, Yeul is seen sitting on a sofa that was in the Narthex of Orphan's Cradle from Final Fantasy XIII. At the very end of the trailer Lightning, still in her Guardian Corps uniform, stands before Etro's shrine and sheds a tear.
What could all this mean? Seems like we'll have to wait till Final Fantasy XIII-2's release in Japan on December 15, in North America on January 31, and in Europe on February 3 to find out.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 utilizes the same battle system seen in the first game, complete with Paradigm Shifts to keep players on their feet. The difference is that Square Enix have made a number of enhancements, including removing posing animations every time a paradigm shift is performed and cinematic action sequences. In addition, the third party member is now a monster that can be recruited throughout the game.
