Square Enix is going all out to make Final Fantasy XIII-2 a great game, offering download content (DLC) for folks who preorder.

Three of the retailers: Amazon, Gamestop and Bestbuy will be offering you some goodies when you preorder with them. Amazon’s giving you boss Omega whom you can use in your party once defeated. Gamestop is just offering Serah a special costume, while Best Buy preorder entitles you to a hardcover book containing “Final Fantasy XIII -Episode i-,” a novella connecting the stories of FFXIII and XIII-2.

While it’s good to get Omega in your party, having a physical book for collection is also cool. I foresee many diehard fans getting 2-3 copies of the same game just for the preorder bonuses!

The NA release of the game would be out on 31 January 2012.
