Hi, I've never really gotten into final fantasy, but just started playing some Final fantasy 7 at my friend's house and love the games. I am now looking forward to FFXiii and versus, but what is the difference? I couldn't find much but was just wondering.

Also on a side note, do the final fantasy games have connected storylines, such that one story follows another, or they all completely different?

thanks. So would traditional be turnbased, while action would be like Kingdom hearts?

well, i think that 13 is gonna be like FF12s battle system. 12 pretty much has the same concept as the old ones except you character is free to move while the atb gague is charging. more than likely, 13s battle system will be like 12s. vs13 will be like kingdom hearts. check the links in my sig if you havent seen the trailers. theyre pretty old though.

The difference between FF13 and Versus 13 is a ripoff and Square is releasing two games to let you buy FF13 for 120$ instead of 60$.

wow, you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. that's just about the dumbest thing i've read today, FFXIII and FXIII versus are completely different. they are both called FF13 because there's something concerning crystals in both, and square has trouble coming up with titles for its games so they're almost all final fantasy

The difference, aside from the story, and genre (XIII is a more traditionalist RPG, while vsXIII is an Action-RPG) is the following:

VS XIII will have:

Overworld

Flying Ship (as in the old days (FF I-IX))

More old school feel, such as exploration of caves, dungeons, mountains, etc.

Darker story.

This things have not been confirmed for XIII but Nomura said they could come to it.

It seems to me that if they were trying for an old school feel for VS., then VS. should be the turn based and XIII should be the action rpg, but thats just me.

I'm still buying them both when ever they launch
