Square Enix announced that if you preorder Final Fantasy XIII-2. You will receive preorder bonuses. It will be available on which outlet store you have selected. Apparently there are only 3 different bonuses you can acquire. Preorder FF 13-2 at GameStop will unlock an alternate costume for protagonist (and Lightning's sister) Serah. Preordering on Amazon include a unique boss battle at the coliseum against Omega. Also, Omega joins your party along with the rest of the monsters that can be recruited and trained throughout the campaign. And Preordering at Best Buy comes with a hardcover book titled Final Fantasy XIII Episode 1, a novel that bridges the events between the original Final Fantasy XIII and its sequel.
But sadly according to Square Enix, these preorder bonuses are for U.S. preorders only. Meaning that it will only be available in the United States. Final Fantasy XIII-2 launches in North American retailers on January 31st, 2012.
