This game doesn't look liek Final Fantasy, but it is... but isn't it the SAME as FINAL FANTASY 15? Why did they change names and skipped one title to 15? They turned FF13 into dust and made an online FF game called 14 and now there is an upcomign FF game to the PS4?

 

Wasn't the Versus 13 on development?

 

I'm just confused....

Versus basically was taking too long, so they renamed it. They are the same game versus and 15.

13 and V13 were two very different games. XIII is having its second sequel getting released, they didn't skip it. No clue why they changed V13 to 15, though.

What are these "versus" games if they have nothing to do with the previously one... I can't see what FF15 has to do with Lightning

It was some sort of spin-off. I never followed the 13 games, so I have no clue why they decided to name it Versus 13. It's the only Versus game though. Maybe they changed the name because it had nothing to do with 13's games, I don't know.

What do you mean XIII turned into dust?

 

VS. XIII has nothing to do with XIII other then the mythology, they're seperate. XIII got 2 sequels, XIII-2 and Lightning Returns.

 

Vs. XIII turned into XV(15).

They wont do anything with Lightning since they are in separate games that aren't exactly related to each other.

Final Fantasy 15 is not Final Fantasy 13.

Final Fantasy Versus 13, now known as Final Fantasy 15, was not going to be directly related to FF13 anyways, it just shared the same mythology.

before that just to make you clear that every main numbered FINAL FANTASY games have completely different story. It is not a continue sequel like Kingdom Hearts.

 

there's only two main FF games that have their direct sequel which is FFX with FFX-2 and FFXIII with FFXIII-2 and Lightning Returns.

 

----------------------------------

 

during E32006 (if I'm not mistaken) which is the year when PS3 was announced, SQEX announced 3 FF titles which is under the new mythology known as 'Fabula Nova Crystallis' the titles are FINAL FANTASY XIII which is will be the next main FF games after XII for PS3 (at first the game was developed for PS2 but changed to PS3), second title are FINAL FANTASY Versus XIII which is going to be directed by Nomura, same mythology, but completely different story for PS3, and third one is FINAL FANTASY Agito XIII for PSP, same mythology and also, different story. They change the name of FFAgito later to FFType-0, the game released exclusively for PSP in Japan. (please not to be confused with the new iOS/Android title FFAgito announced by SQEX this year) 

 

after so many years, there is no news of FF Versus XIII, only this year they announced it again but decide to change it to FINAL FANTASY XV because they want to make this game into a main numbered FF games for PS4. The reason why it took so long to make FFVersusXIII (now FFXV) because they need time to start all over again to make it playable for PS4, because at first it is developed for PS3 then now PS4)

 

In conclusion, I can say that they change the name to FFXV because the game will be the next numbered FF games for PS4. it's like why I need to release FFVersus on PS4, then make another FFXV all over again for PS4, why don't just make FFVersusXIII become the next main FF game by changing its name.

 

and one more extra info, the original name for FF Type-0 was FF Agito XIII, which is later renamed as FFType-0, this year they announced the new iOS/Android game named FFAgito, FFAgito will be the prequel for FFType-0 which was released in JP years ago.

 

So in E32006, they announced 3 Final Fantasy games, but only FFXIII make it later after that, there is no news about Versus until E3 this year (there is some news between it but just some short trailer), and FFType-0 only released in Japan. Which makes a lot of FF fans frustrated waiting for 2 of the games. The announcement of FFVersusXIII changing to XV for PS4 makes a lot of FF fans happy + it is directed by Tetsuya Nomura!, finally after years waiting there is major news on FFXV saying it will be release soon for PS4, and later FFAgito were announced for iOS/Android which makes FF fans happy because it is a prequel of Japan exclusive FF game, FFType-0.

 

so here's the timeline

 

-FFXIII, FFVersusXIII, FFAgito announced

-FFXIII launched for PS3 and Xbox360

-FFAgito change to FFType-0 for PSP but only for JP launched

-FFXIII sequel; FFXIII-2 launced for PS3 and Xbox360

-FFVersusXIII announced for PS4/Xbone, change to FFXV

-FFAgito announced, prequel for FFType-0, for iOS/Android

-Lightning returns, sequel of FFXIII-2, release next year international for PS3/Xbox360

 

and now, waiting for Agito, most likely next year, then FFXV and our beloved KH3

 

sorry for my bad grammar.

Versus 13 was taking the opposite approach to 13's mythology. It wasn't closely related, but it was the other side to the story. However, due to the amount of work being put into it, Versus 13 has become more than the other side.  It has become enough to hold up several sequels, thus the change of title from opposite to stand alone was made.  No longer will you see Versus 13, instead it is and will always be Final Fantasy XV.

XIII, XIII-2 and LIGHTNING RETURNS have nothing to do with XV. No issues there.

Like one of the poster said, the only relationship that XIII, and XIII Versus/XV had was that they were under the name of Fabula Nova Crystalis.

The only connection between Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII WAS that they were under the Fabula Nova Crystallis saga. They were connected by the same god (I think)But now things changed since they separated Versus XIII by renaming it as FFXV.
