- All versions require Steam.
Downloadable content (DLC) and expansions
- Visit Final Fantasy Wiki for more information on DLC.
- Includes the following DLC from the console versions in the base game:[1] Note that the Coliseum Battles and Scenarios are only available after completing the game.
- Coliseum Battle Opponents: Omega, Lightning & Amodar, Nabaat, Ultros & Typhon, PuPu, Gilgamesh
- Serah's Outfits: Summoner's Garb, Beachwear, White Mage
- Noel's Outfits: Battle Attire, Spacetime Guardian, Black Mage
- Mog's Outfits: A Wondrous Wardrobe
- Sazh's Story Scenario: Heads or Tails?
- Lightning's Story Scenario: Requiem of the Goddess
- Snow's Story Scenario: Perpetual Battlefield
- The following DLC are not available on PC out-of-box due to copyright and licensing issues, but can be enabled using third party workarounds:
- 2 outfits for Serah: N7 Armor (from Mass Effect 3); Style and Steel
- 2 outfits for Noel: N7 Armor (from Mass Effect 3); Assassin's Creed
- All 5 DLC weapons (3 bows for Serah, 2 swords for Noel)
- 6 Japan-exclusive accessories
Essential improvements
Console Content Patch
- This restores and unlocks all DLC normally unavailable in-game due to copyright and licensing issues.[2].
Follow the instructions in Readme.txt to install. Note that as this is a patch, it will be removed when Steam verifies or updates the modified files.
DLC Unlocker
- Alternative to the above that doesn't require patching the game, but only works for equipment and accessory DLC as an update replaced the unavailable outfit DLC with generic models.
Run the program, ensure DLC enabler is checked, and run the game. Accessories and weapons must be bought from Chocolina with the enabler on, and will remain in the inventory even when the DLC enabler isn't on (but invisible and unable to be equipped without the enabler on).
