You can also note that I have no plans to play FF14 on ANY platform.............

Then why feel the need to post in a thread about the game?

OT:
Well... The next 2 console Final Fantasy games aren't on the 360. XIV and Versus XIII. Makes you wonder really if the 360 will get XV. If it releases this gen...

XIV would be on 360 already if not for Microsoft's draconian Live requirements.  Versus will probably end up on 360 anyway, though it's really a glorified spinoff.  I don't really see much to indicate XV missing 360 if it's made on current gen consoles?

"According to Square Enix, they all take place in the same world but in different time periods and there is no cooperation between the teams of the various titles, the only connection being a "vague crystal theme"." wink

If V13 is a spinoff of 13, then all the games set on planet Earth are spinoffs of eachother.

If Versus XIII were called XV, it wouldn't be a spinoff.  Or do you also consider Vagrant Story and FF Tactics to be mainline FF games?

So spinoff are about naming conventions. That makes a lot of sense.

That tends to be the standard when you look at a long running numbered series.  If SE wanted Versus to be considered the next mainline Final Fantasy, why wouldn't they name it as such?

Not all spinoffs are created equal either, I see no issue considering something X-2, Crisis Core or Versus a "more mainline" spinoff or side game than something like Crystal Chronicles, Tactics or Chocobo Dungeon.
