Hyper PlayStation asked the staff why they decided to announce Versus as a part of Final Fantasy XIII and not as a brand new Final Fantasy XIV. The concept and thinking behind Versus would not be possible in a standard numbered Final Fantasy title, Nomura responded. However, Kitase jumped in, assuring that Versus is not just a side-story, as it has some of what makes a numbered FF game what it is. However, he added, "With Versus, we are trying out a type of adventure that we couldn't do in the numbered series."

translation: It will anger the ff traditionalists.

That's your reason it's not a main entry. Got it?

I take this differently. Currently the FF main series with FF XIII is more linear, there's no world map, and it's mainly just walk > cutscene > battle > repeat until the end right? Versus will be different from that in that Versus will be more like the older FFs with a world map, an airship, etc. Nomura said Versus will be more like a traditional FF than XIII, so it'll probably appeal more to the traditionalists.

How I look at it FFXIII could have started out as a traditional FF game but turned into a Action RPG during development and FFVersusXIII started out more of a Action RPG and turned into a Traditional FF game from the info that Nomura Tetsuya gave in the resent interview.
