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.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 producer Yoshinori Kitase revealed quite a bit at the Tokyo Game Show 2011 regarding the content that we can look forward to in the upcoming title.
One new addition to Final Fantasy XIII-2 is the inclusion of an amusement center full of mini games, much like Final Fantasy VII'S Golden Saucer. Among the new mini games is chocobo racing and a casino.
Also mentioned was post-release downloadable content. including costumes, weapons, and even monsters. Kitase assured fans that the content existant in the game is fulfilling enough but that the DLC will allow longer play and allow the player to play the game to an even greater depth.
There's some pre-release non-downloadable content to look forward to as well. Square Enix will be releasing in September a six-chapter story called "Final Fantasy XIII Lost Report." It basically looks back at the story of XIII but through the eyes of Rygdea and Yaag Rosch. The Lost Story report is planned only for Japan but we can always look forward to a fan-translation soon afterward.
Producer and director Yoshinori Kitase and Motomu Toriyama have come out yet again to speak about Final Fantasy XIII and its incoming downloadable content. Here's the catch, it's not coming.
The developer seems to be on a roller-coaster ride with regards to releasing any form of downloadable content for the game, originally stating that players are getting more than enough and any additional content could make up another game entirely. However, Kitase spoke on the topic again late last month saying that even though Square-Enix had doubts, they did indeed "prepare a DLC" pack. Following that is the recent interview with PlayStation Blog where the pair stated that Square-Enix currently has no plans for DLC.
"Regarding the DLC content, we feel that the final product is 100% enjoyable…it’s the complete package. So we’re not planning any DLC at this time."
As for the supposed cut content, it was simply taken out of context. Apparently they meant that a lot of concept "ideas" were brought to the table, but not all of them made it into the final game.
So there you have it. There is currently no DLC planned for Final Fantasy XIII, which hits retailers on March 9.
