I'm confused. People say "no versus", but what is FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 then?

Is there three Final Fantasy 13's planned???


Final Fantasy XIII-2 is the sequel to Final Fantasy XIII. Final Fantasy Versus XIII, on the other hand, is a spin-off of the series.

All of those games are considered part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis series.

Its not a spin off.

Its a seperate game, full budget and all.


It's a spin-off or part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis series. That's what I meant.

A spin off is a lower budget side story to a given title.

XIII-2 could be classified as a spin off, as X-2 could too.

But Versus XIII is a BIG BUDGET (bigger budget than XIII for sure) entry with an alternate story

It is NOT a spin off.

He's such a good boy relax , he edited his post XD

*inhales in and out*

New info on a game I'm hyped for gets me very excited and I tend to go a bit crazy everywhere.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

A lot of Wii games.

I love when people say it's not a spin-off because it's the truth

I love you so much XD

It is this mentality that has me worried about its sales.

It needs to be rebranded as FFXV or it will forever remain a spin off in the eyes of people, and with XIII-2 coming people are going to get so confused between all these XIII's.

And SE will do that, as they did for Type-0, I am sure of it.

That's a very good point , but SE can't just change the genre of well established franchise like FF , Versus is Nomura vision and what he wanted for the series , an ActionRPG , a daring way to make a FF game , but can never be a mainline FF .

Then make it a new IP on call it Final Fantasy _ _ _ _  (maybe a new mainline FF action RPG series)

Edit: Just to be more clear. 4 games are developed under the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy series.
- Final Fantasy XIII and its sequel, XIII-2.
- Final Fantasy Versus XIII
- Final Fantasy Type-0 (used to be called Agito XIII)

Fabula Nova Crystalis is what ties these games together? Is it a universe?

EDIT: no it's not, it's a common mythos only apparently.



And why is the hype so big towards Versus but not so much to Typo-0 and  XIII-2? Is it because it's Sony exclusive?

Because XIII-2 is the sequel to a game that was controversial (people who loved XIII are very hyped for it like me, people who didn't aren't hyped for it but some of them are for some odd reason) and we know nothing much about it right now.

Type-0...god knows why. It has EVERYTHING gameplay wise FF fans have wanted since FF9...its not hyped as its on a portable is my guess.

Versus is hyped as it looks very promising in every way and is PS3 exclusive so will push the system to the absolute limits like FF9 did to PS1 and FF12 did to PS2.

All right, thank you.

Is there a chance that Versus comes to X360? (not that Im personally interested but it's good for the console war)

What's the best gameplay video for Versus, show me?





 I just want to know more about Deus Ex, Hitman, and Tomb Raider
