If you had the money and both FF XIII and FF Versus XIII were availible for you to buy and you had a PS3 (since Versus won't be on 360), but you could only buy ONE of the two, which would you choose? For reference here are the trailers for both games (make sure to watch them in HD or else they look terrible):

FF Versus XIII Trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6At_bb1PNU&feature=channel_page

FF XIII Trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdGc8EA82-Q&feature=channel

(I'm not counting Agito in this as it's for the PSP whereas you can get XIII and Versus for the PS3 (you can only get XIII for 360))

As for my opinion: Versus, hands down. XIII looks intriguing sure, and maybe if I have the chance I'll pick it up, but if I had to choose it would be Versus. The plots aren't entirely the same, but they are in the same setting basically, but the characters of Versus are a lot more interesting to me and I'm far more intrigued by the story. Plus I'm a shameless fangirl and Noctis (in the Versus trailer) is based off of Roxas and Zexion from Kingdom Hearts, so what can I say, that's a reason too. Also, I'm not a huge FF fan, so the fact that I'd even be willing to buy XIII means I think it's going to be pretty damn good, I just think Versus is going to be delectably epic.

How about you?

Even if you say I could only buy ONE I would still say both. They both look equally interesting to me, lol. But originally I was interested in XIII so lets go with that for this.

I don't know much about Versus other than it's an action rpg and unrelated to regular XIII's story.
But versus sounds like a spinoff (not saying it is just seems like it) so I might get the 'main' attraction firsthand or just get the one people are talking about more.

If by bitch you mean girl, you must mean XIII.
However, if by bitch you mean guy who looks like a girl, you must mean Versus.

At present, I do not possess enough data to make a proper judgment, and will therefore abstain.

I'll be getting both naturally, but I must confess Versus seem to give off a more interesting scent so far, what with Shakespeare quotes and all.
As long as it is as awesome as it seems and doesn't turn into what happened with KH2 (That secret video thing in number one was as misleading as shit in a confection), and especially if it has a tragic story, it certainly seems able to outperform XIII.

Why do you include a option for neither and not one for both?-_-

I'm pretty sure overall both will be great, but I think the gameplay for Versus will probably be abit better(since it's suppose to be a bloodier version of KH). Story wise I think XIII will be better.

Because I'm asking if you had to choose between the two, which one would you rather get.
If someone wouldn't buy either at all, then they can put neither, but I want to know which one people think looks better.
I agree with your reasoning though, Versus will probably have better gameplay/action and XIII will probably have a better story.

It is okie <3

Both on IGN were listed as Action RPGs I believe. The game play for FF13 - I can't tell what it is so bleh.

Well, naturally. The games are still in development and won't be out until later this year at earliest in Japan and probably not until 2010 in NA and Europe, I'm just wondering what people's opinions are as of now even if they change their minds in a year.

Well force them to choose too.>.< I think more money is probably going into FFXIII. It wouldn't surprise me if this was Square most expensive project ever. :|

FFXIII and Versus(DMC also) are the main reasons I got my ps3, so it would be really hard to just choose one. If I really had to choose one to buy, I'd say XIII just because I've enjoyed every FF game(numbered) that I've played. Plus it's the only one I've seen gameplay of. :p

Oh I know right? You can tell just by the trailer, XIII is going to have epic graphics.

The whole reason I'm saving up to buy a PS3 is for Final Fantasy Versus XIII and FF XIII, I want both of them and I've never really been a FF fan at all, to be honest. I was going to buy the 360 because I like other games on there but Versus isn't coming out for it. -sigh- Oh and that is right I don't think I've seen Versus gameplay yet. o___o

Versus XIII
But I want both, so I'm going to get both. There is no, choosing between the two, I'm getting both and that's that.
Personally, I loved Kingdom Hearts. So the fact that the feel might be similar is a plus for me.

I'd love to see it's budget.

I'm a huge FF fan, and if these 2 games don't live up to my expectations(most anticipated games ever) I'll be really disappointed. That's the thing I'm worried about with Versus. They haven't shown a thing with gameplay footage yet, or even brought up a release date. I hope it comes out the same year a FFXIII(in America).

Two things work against Versus XIII:

1. Fangirls

2. Noctis looks like a CG version of Sasuke. :|

Right? I agree with you on most counts. Mostly because, and I feel no shame about this, I am a total fangirl and it's one of the reasons I'm more likely to buy Versus. However if the gameplay sucks I will be pissed, regardly of how good-looking the characters are. I think they'll probably aim for release dates close to each other for the two, since they're part of like, some...FF XIII 3-game Super Awesome Thing, it has a better name than that but supposedly that's how they're marketing it.

I liked the disney x Final fantasy concept but I agree the Little Mermaid sections of the series wasn't fun at all. :< But if Versus really is an alternate version of KH's battle system I could prefer that game more.

Versus XIII.

FF storylines have always struck me as too happy and light. A fantasy depicting gore and a much darker and bleaker tone? Hell yes. From all those trailers, I'm expecting the best FF story. Period. What am I expecting of XIII? Just another FF experience. Yeah, my expectations for Versus XIII is pretty high.

We do ruin things, us females. I'll gush about them to other fangirls, no doubt, but I'm not one to run around stating how in love I am with someone made out of pixels.

Just don't gush here when it comes out, or I'll have kill you.O_O Yeah I agree with that. I think Square has put too much into this compilation of FFXIII to let it suck. Neither seem like a cheap cash just to make money(like DoC seemed to be). Personally I'm hoping the combat for Versus XIII is a FF version of DMC(action wise). :p LoL, I had to wiki it to remember what it was exactly. Maybe I should copyright mine.:o

I swear if he has a older brother too that killed his whole family I'll kill Nomura(after he makes some games I want of course.>.>;) I think that might be when he activates the crystals powers<------It's just a guess, don't take it too serious. :|

I think its pretty cool the stylised action and stuff in the versus trailer, but I would have to see actual game play examples and not just a trailer to decide which I would prefer.

As someone else said, versus seems a Kingdom Hearts type, and I didn't like that, even though KH had aspects and characters from other Final Fantasy games I do like...that alone doesn't keep me interested.
