Trivia

 * Final Fantasy XIII, the game's predecessor, was originally set to have Downloadable Content - one of which would have been the Seventh Ark. The Downloadable Content idea was instead rolled over to the game's sequel.
 * The "N7 Armor" is the only costume in the game that shares the same design for Serah and Noel.
 * Furthermore, the "N7 Armor" is the first costume available in the game that comes from a game not developed by Square Enix. Despite this release, however, the Assassin's Creed outfit was announced before the N7 Armor.
 * The "Catastrophe Blade" is called the "Calamity Blade" in the Japanese release of the game.
 * On March 12th, 2012, Square Enix Europe confirmed that DLC from that point on would not support or include additional Xbox 360 achievements and/or PS3 trophies.
 * A number of costumes have undergone name changes. For example:
 * "Summoner's Garb" was originally called "Evening Calm".
 * "Battle Attire" was originally called "Brave the Blaze".
 * "Beachwear" was originally called "Resort Style".
 * "Spacetime Guardian" was originally called "The Protector of Space and Time".
 * "A Wondrous Wardrobe" was originally called "Yori Dori Midori".
 * "Style and Steel" was originally named "Exposure and Defense".
 * "Style and Steel" is the only costume DLC that is offered for free and it was designed by AKB48 member Yuko Oshima. As a reference to this, when the player decides and presses "Download" on the costume's DLC page in PS Store, a window with subtitle "SERAH'S COSTUME: AKB" will pop up.
 * Snow's DLC is the only time the player can witness every Coliseum contender during the cutscene, minus Arbiter of Time in his true form: Valfodr.
 * The combined cost of all DLC is 5440 MSP, or about $67 for PS3.
