Final Fantasy XIII-2’s Lightning and Amodar coliseum DLC had its fair share of complaints upon release whether it is about not being able to play as Lightning in the main game in the first place or the idea of being able to play as Lightning would disrupt the drama of the game’s story involving the search for Lightning herself. Starting the DLC battle, the game doesn’t hesitate to show players a short cut scene that explains the characters appearing in the coliseum are not actually who they are and instead just copies to show that this isn’t a paradox (to use words from the game) that would upset the story. Now, is the DLC worth the $3 asking price? For the novelty of fighting against and alongside Lightning and for the extra firepower of having them as monster crystals, I’d say yes, but just to be clear, this is DLC that you’d have to work for.
