only casual FF fans thought it was a spin off, because SE stated from jump it wasn't and that it was literally just as important and on par in the series as XIII was. There was just some mild ignorance about it in the West mostly. It was designed to be an alternate future for where the series as a whole could go. Several times over, Versus was voted #1 or in top 10 of most anticipated in Japan. Frequently above FFXIII, except for when XIII was about to release. |
I didn't mean spin off in that way (production of lesser importance like Lightning Returns). I was refering to gaming mechanics. All we knew up to that point was that Versus was a Kingdom Hearts action/rpg descentant. So I highly doubt people wanted FF to go down the KH road, especially after the radical changes of/ FF XII.
I'm gonna need some links about that voting
