Not One But Two Final Fantasy VI Monsters to Grace XIII-2′s Coliseum

Not One But Two Final Fantasy VI Monsters to Grace XIII-2′s Coliseum

And one of them is not Kefka or Ultros. Yet.

Siliconera’s source has revealed that upcoming DLC for the never-ending story that is Final Fantasy XIII-2 will feature two monsters from beloved classic Final Fantasy VI. One has already been revealed: Typhon (or Chupon in the SNES version), a monster whose powerful “Snort” attack is strong enough to blow your party completely out of the encounter.

Later in VI Typhon becomes a combatant in the Dragon’s Neck Coliseum, which is run by — surprise, surprise — Ultros. It should also be noted that Typhon is touted as Ultros’s back-up or partner whenever you encounter the sleazy purple octopus. Could Typhon’s boss be the second fighter from VI to enter XIII-2‘s ring? Stay tuned!

    Fingers totally crossed for Ultros.

      All my fingers and toes crossed for Ultros. That crazy octopus was half of what made VI so freaking fun. Well, a good portion of it anyway. I’m sad they haven’t thought of bringing him back before a la Gilgamesh. Although if they are including Typhon, who was basically his Ultros’ sidekick… It has to be Ultros. It HAS to be.

        For sure, it HAS to be. These two are already linked as a pair – Chupon/Typhon is pretty vague to have on his own WITHOUT Ultros, arguably the better known of the two. 

        They’ve at least had Ultros make one other appearance – ever play FFIV The After Years?
