    Snow episode DLC

    http://finalfantasy-xiii.net/2012/04...-detailed.html

    My first reaction was surprise, I honestly didn't expect a Snow one since in the past Square were so adament that Snow's story will be a novel and not dlc, but at the same time I'm so happy, this is the sort of dlc I really want to see more of not crappy costumes ect...

    Also a bit surprised to see this as DLC and not a novel considering what was said... But of course there is still the chance that the 2 Snow episodes are independent of one another. I'm getting the feeling that they opted for a DLC release instead though.

    This is definitely fuck-awesome news! It raises some questions in my mind X_X...

    1. Since only 1 hexagon is left locked on the Historia Crux grid, either they are going to add a new one - considering Lightning's upcoming DLC - or they implemented Snow's/Light's story in another entry. I'm thinking Snow's might start in the Coliseum because of what the article says and the fact that it says we FINALLY get the story behind the Coliseum. So there was a story to tell after all! <3<3. But then I wonder if they had that planned all along since they left the question of the Coliseum story open, or if they just figured they wanted to tie that knot post release. If they already had thought of it, then why even mention the Snow novel before the game was released?

    2. Valefodr? It really looks like a cool enemy, and a fitting monster to be the last and hardest of the DLC creatures. It's got that organic Omega/Ultima Weapon look to it, lol. The name symbolizes something so sinister and enigmatic. Valefodr is one of the many norse myth names for Odin. Means something like Father Death in that he was the father of the slain heroes or the king of the dead in Valhalla etc. Gotta hand it to FF and their mythological references <3<3<3
    So the creature must be related to Valhalla I imagine... And an extraordinary creature for certain. I am very eager to find out how this will fit in with the story! It also makes me think about the reference to a mighty beast being locked away in Valhalla as noted in the datalog, but I got the impression - and I kinda still am under the impression - that what was being referred to was the dark force inside Valhalla that was trying to break out... The big baddie of XIII-2 if you think about it in an alternate way. Speaking of which, wonder if this will be the greatest "antagonist" in XIII-2 or if it perhaps takes a physical form that you must fight at some point etc.

    3. So if Valfodr is going to encounter Snow several times during the DLC and it's also a DLC monster to recruit, then how will that all work out? If it's the strongest monster in the game, would it make much sense to let the battle that counts be in Snow's DLC? It may be more likely that you can fight him at his highest difficulty in the DLC Coliseum AFTER completing Snow's DLC, but who knows.

    4. Already been over this, but I wonder if we get the fal'Cie story behind Snow's role in the story <3_<3. Yeah I just mention it again because I really wanna know what happened already, lol.

    I think it was mentioned in the article about how the dlc will covor Snow being a l'Cie I just thought of something this could probably mean in the battles that you can summon Shiva <3

    It said there would be more details about his mission as a l'Cie. I'm thinking about the whole origin point of Snow's encounter with the fal'Cie. But of course it is to be expected that all that will go together in the DLC. It solely depends on whether they are releasing that novel or not.

    It was still good though, lol. Especially if you bought all the previous DLC, because it gave the scenes more value what with all the Coliseum monsters and then topping it all off with AoT/Valfodr.

    It didn't in any way "advance" the story though, and Snow didn't seem to progress in his story either. At least they put that little mysterious Fayth-ish boy there which I take is a reference to the REAL story that still will be released - in what we now probably can confirm will be a novel. Just don't get why the translation articles said they were about that which the novel is supposed to be about... And if it was what the Japanese article said directly translated or just some presumptuous fan's interpretation.

    But yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed it either way. Was a lot of fun and added some great new DLC elements, including making the previously one-time monsters like Chichu and Gold Chocobo etc obtainable again, without limits (not counting the usual monster crystal limit = 1 monster of a type on the list at a time, or 3 for every Chocobo)

    Snow actually became a valuable team member in my battle against Valfodr lv70 and lv99. He's an impressive Sentinel.
