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.

You do know a spin-off term relates nothing to big budget. Fraser is a spin-off of Cheers, X-men Wolverine movie was a spinoff of the franchise movie X-men, Mario Kart is a spin-off of Mario Bros which is a spinoff of Donkey Kong. 

Spin-off means the process of deriving a new media product from an existing product or franchise. 

Edit: I know some people might argue that Mario Bros is a direct sequel, but I consider it more of a spinoff franchise.
