Prediction: Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII will not be AAA games

[CAL4M1TY]

I thought FFX was a great game and certainly was the next step up after 9 retro-ed the series for the last time.

Also, FFX-2 was not an awful game, it was just an average game by Final Fantasy main series standards. If FFX-2 was renamed something else and had a different face slapped onto the characters, it would have easily been a 8+ out of 10 game. But people hated it because it was different and not expected.

I didn't love the game myself, but I wouldn't say it was crap.

Anyway, on topic, I think FF13 will be AAA but VS13 won't, but they'll both still sell immensely well. Why I am pessimistic about VS13? Well, word on the street is that it is like Kingdom Hearts, but what separates KH from being a cookie cutter hack and slash is that it's got a rather simple but compelling narrative and disney worlds, VS definitely doesn't have the disney, so if it doesn't have a compelling story (i.e reason to keep playing for most RPG fans), then it'll be just an average Hack and slash.
