Versus is a lot more of an Action-RPG than Final Fantasy XIII. If I'm right, don't hold this over me, but I think it uses the same gameplay as Crisis Core on the PSP while XIII uses the turn-based style.

FF 13 will be the next segment in the Final Fantasy franchise (try saying that five times fast) It will have the same turn based gameplay like its predecessors but it will be in real time FF versus 13 will be an action RPG made by the ppl who gave you the wonderful game Kingdom Heartsmrmusicman247

Also, FF Versus XIII is being made by much of the same team that made FF VII. :D

^ This plus the kh-like combat if it has it will make it one of the greatest games ever

One feature androgynous male and female characters, and the other features an adrogynous boy band.

I'm just kidding, but those Versus dudes could totally be in a boy band if they wanted.

Okay so, to clear up some of the points here.

1) Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII are two seperate games that do not take place within the same world. According to what Squeenix has revealed the games are part of the same compilation because they all center around a common mythos. Versus XIII does not take place in FFXIII's Pulse or Cocoon world just as much as FFXIII doesn't take place in whatever world Versus is in. However, both game's universes and stories center around something about crystals and how they shape life and the world around them. Hence, Fabula Nova Crystalis--Latin defined as The New tale of the crystal.

2) The way in which the two games play is different. FFXIII is a continuation or evolution of the classic FF gameplay that we are used to. (Namely the ATB system has been revamped to allow the player to perform multiple actions in one character turn.) On the opposite side VSXIII, while still kept pretty well under wraps at the moment, has been revealed to be an Action RPG very much like Kingdom hearts. In fact that brings me to my third point...

3) The Development teams behind the two games are quite a mixed bag of extremely talented workers from some of the most highly regarded FF titles of the past. For instance the Director of FFXIII was the Directer for FFs VII, VIII, X, and X-2. The Majority of that team worked on those previous titles. On the VSXIII side (pun intended), The Director is Tetsuya Nomura whom you may recall as SE's very talented character designer. The team that is making it worked on Kingdom hearts and FFVII:AC. Nomura himself said that the gameplay is going to be an evolution of the kingdom hearts style.

and a side note, both game's gameplay styles are aimed at trying to imitate to the actions sequences seen in the Advent Children movie. Even though the two are different types of RPGs.

Great point. another thing that I think needs to be clarified is that Agito and Versus are not what you would call "add-ons" or "spinoffs." While FFXIII is the Anchor of the three I like to think that the other two are the Cannon and the Bow, respectively. haha!

Another difference between the two titles is that FFXIII is supposed to represent the theme of Light and life while adversely, VSXIII represents the theme of Darkness and Death. This is evidenced by the the glaringly different art style of the two. FFXIII is full of vibrant bright colors while Versus is full of midnight-blues and Black. You can also tell this by the name of the main character of Versus: Noctis. It is a Latin word that means "of the night". (and by the way, Versus in latin means "a change in direction".) and I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say that Lightings real name is going to be something that means Day, Sun, or life. who knows? but it wouldn't be surprising.

One is Turned Based [Normal FF13] and the other is an Action RPG [Versus, might play like Kingdom Hearts who knows.]
