Unused Audio

To do: Add other files, including Serah's.

As with characters in Final Fantasy XIII, Serah and Noel have quotes for the start of battles, with two variants for normal and strong opponents. Like several other audio files, there are multiple quotes within each file and some are reused, depending on the location they're used in. There are also files that correspond to quotes for using Techniques in the previous game, a feature that is absent in Final Fantasy XIII-2.

Unused Pre-Rendered Cutscenes

This unused pre rendered cutscene file is in the white_z0130u_img.ps3.bin file on the PlayStation 3 version and is supposed to be used in the Head's or Tail DLC. the cutscene is incomplete as it lacks facial animation for the characters, some missing lightning and has a place holder audio track with no effects, music and ambient sounds.

• The DLC from the console versions is included, save for the Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed related DLC. Furthermore, the extra DLC chapters are only available after defeating the final boss, as opposed to after Chapter 2 in the console versions.
