[20/02] Final Fantasy XIII-2 X Mass Effect Collaboration In The Works

[Steve-O]

Square Enix made a deal with Ubisoft to add an Assassin’s Creed costume to Final Fantasy XIII-2 for the time-traveling hero Noel Kriess. Players will be able to dress Noel up in a costume based on Ezio Auditore in the future.



Mass Effect will have a similar collaboration, a source tells Siliconera, with a specially designed Mass Effect costume made for Final Fantasy XIII-2. Square and Electronic Arts working together? Don’t look so surprised, remember Square Electronic Arts LLC?



We’ll add this to the growing Final Fantasy XIII-2 DLC wardrobe, which also includes an AKB-48 designed outfit, Beachwear for Searah, and Spacetime Guardian armor for Noel.

I imagine Noel in Shepard's getup and making it look awkward. I wonder how horrified Bioware would be when they see that monstrosity. Does this mean Serah can ditch her ridiculous Mog bow and use a cool, futuristic set of guns instead?

Well, Square-Enix have already been inspired by the Mass Effect games when they decided to put in the Live Trigger thing, so why not costumes too? Given the choice, I would easily just pop in a Mass Effect game anytime rather than bothering to pay a small fee to get this. :dave:

Well, it finally happened. Final Fantasy is infested with western garbage.
RIP Final fantasy.

Some Japanese development studios are saying as well that Japan should stop focusing on the West so much.

This doesnt mean success at all. This is just a poor decision to make. FAILURE of the year! I dont see the combination/relation with ME and FF.

This so so stupid....

Stop giving us silly costumes and give us actual substance.

Before I grab a copy of FF VI and bash it over everybody at SE Staff. Maybe the game's good quality will hit into their brains.

I think this is just silly. DLC doesn't belong in Final Fantasy in the first place and having DLC costume crossovers from other games is just utterly ridiculous. So glad i don't own this game.

I second this.

I won't be buying either the AC DLC or this. I can't support this collaborative money grab in an effort to westernize Final Fantasy. I like the series for it's Japanese influence and sticking to its guns.

Aww, lighten up, people! This is a fantastic idea! Imagine Serah in Jack's getup, or Noel dressed as Grunt

This made my morning, it's absolutely priceless

Eh I just dont see why we need a Mass Effect costume. At least with Assassins Creed, it's somewhat unique. Mass Effect is pretty much generic sci fi, shaved head and all
