Final Fantasy XIII-2 gets cross-platform and 360-exclusive DLC today

Final Fantasy XIII-2's Coliseum is seeing some action with the release of the game's first DLC, the Lightning and Master Sergeant Amodar pack. Besides outfitting the arena with battles that'll win you extra characters for your party, the pack offers Xbox 360 owners an added bonus in the form of an exclusive weapon for heroine Serah.

The Coliseum hosts the first DLC battle, pitting FFXIII-2's heroes against the prequel's Lightning and Master Sergeant Amodar. Once Lightning and Amodar are defeated, their powers are added to those of your party, and the added characters can be used in-game. The $2.99/240 MSP add-on also has an upsell for Xbox 360 players: the Serah's Weapon: Azrael pack, which gives Serah (obviously) a new weapon called Azrael (obviously) that'll boost the holder's chain bonus.

Expect future DLC to offer various side-quests, as well as further Coliseum battles that tantalizingly promise to bring back other characters and creatures from Final Fantasies past. Who's on your wishlist?
