Possible connection between FFXIII and FFvsXIII?

After the recent release of FFXIII, the first game in the Fabula Nova Crystallis Compilation and one of the two core games, all of us fans can't help but wonder if the other core game, FFvsXIII will bear some other similarities besides the "crystal" theme.

http://forums.khinsider.com/final-f...-analect-fabula-nova-crystallis-spoilers.html

^The discussion in the above thread is indeed intriguing, seeing as the Goddess Etro was mentioned in both of the games. Also, Stella's saying those with the ability to see the streaks of light have been granted the power of the Goddess seems very similar to the concept of Fal'cie turning one into an l'cie, which is also true.

After some thorough examination of one of the illustrations of Pulsian architecture in society, I can honestly say they resemble a First World country's framework: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/File:Pulse_Society.png

Something's definitely up, and I want in... but waiting for the Fabula Nova Crystallis Conference is going to kill me. :(

Oh, and on the chances of a crossover, I need your opinions for that too. Thanks for even bothering. :sup:

Don't really know if I'd want it... but I can see it happening since they are both set in the same world apparently.

A big factor of it is how far they are set apart in the FFXIII universe's chronology. If they are set too far apart than a crossover would be extremley difficult to say the least but if they are set close together in the timeline than by all means yes, I could see it.

A crossover will hardly happen, since SE said the action will take place in the same
universe
, but will be a complete different story.

I said YES. WOuld be interesting meting Light or seeing the others making their hero's stuff.

Just to clear things up, the games are set in a same universe, not a same world, hence why you have themes such as crystals being present in all the FFXIII games. The stories will be fortunately separate, so I don't see any crossover happening bar the frequent references to certain terms we may have heard from in FFXIII before. A crossover is too messy anyway and it would make little sense because FFXIII's world and setting is still very distinct from Versus's.
 
Yeah... I can honestly see where you guys are getting at. Dissidia will probably be the only crossover game SE's ever going to be willing to focus on, but who knows?

Timelines don't seem too difficult to handle, at least, from my point of view. Somehow, there's this strange feeling I've got that the stories of both FFXIII and FFvsXIII really do take place on the same planet, just on opposite sides of the globe. :/ The fact that the people of Cocoon have been isolated from the world below for thousands of years and Noctis's country being at war doesn't help. And the Cocoonians' migration down to Pulse doesn't seem like the last we'll ever see of them...
 
Well square-enix and makers of FF have said that: X and X-2 are in the same universe as 7.

There are hardly any real cross-over things, such as the name Shinra, lifestream/fareplain & energy.


But yes I would like a cross-over, there are way to many things unexplained in 13 (and I am not referring too why the game is so linear). But I thought that I had read that there is essentially 0 crossover.

EDIT: Blackstage yeah- here it is:

Are you sure about that? I never heard nothing, but it's possible.

The universe is one btw (that's why is called uni-verse), every FF has to be there somewhere between galaxys anyway.
 
I doubt. Until now,at least,both them don't have many similarities,besides being of the same compilation or things already told.I mean,VersusXIII could be called FFXV,XVI or XVII that it wouldn't make THAT diference.
 
I think calling it 13 versus by square enix is just a ploy so that their roman numerals dont start getting ridiciously high.. I dont see any crossover what so ever happening..
 
The only connection between XIII versus and XIII as stated by Nomura (I think) was the vague crystal theme...........But seriously I dont see no reason to name it versus XIII just because of this crystal connection, FFIV,FFI,FFIII all have a crystal theme so why aren't they in the compilation?

I'm sure there is some kind of reasoning behind naming it versus XIII but I doubt their that closely related after all, they were both seperate development teams.

as for the world, I highly doubt versus FFXIII world is "the other side of cocoon" I mean come on look how different it is compared to the futurstic places of FFXIII like nautilas and palumpolum...........You could kinda say versus XIII world could be part of pulse (the world below) because in oerba we do see hints of civilization but again its really unlikely..........
 
I voted yes. I don't think there is much similarities between the two worlds, although I don't know much about Versus. I don't think it will happens but it could be an interesting game. A direct FFXIII sequel (in the FFXIII world) is much likely probable.
 
I hope to God that not even the slightest reference of Final Fantasy XIII is placed in Versus XIII. Apart from Nomura already stating there are very little similarities or crossovers, Square-Enix already know and have admitted that FFXIII wasn't a great game so it would be wise not to crossover the titles given that milking FFXIII in Versus XIII is the very last thing Square-Enix need. :hmph:
 
I wouldnt mind to be honest.

The characters were not the problem with FFXIII it was the gameplay and the Battle System that were the main draw backs.

And we are going to continue to play S-E games were are going to be at the mercy of what they decide to do..............good or bad. its there creation and characters that have brought us here.

Honestly DarkShadow, I was really thinking more "the other side of Pulse". I mean, the citizens of Cocoon have just decided to migrate down to the world below at the end of the game, and we all know the world around us is HUGE, as in the game. And the reason why FFXIV and FFXV etc. aren't in the same compilation despite the same crystal themes is getting very bothersome.

I totally agree. Character design was most exquisite, but the battle system gets on your nerves. Paradigm Shifts make me dizzy.

Seriously, they could make reference to the characters at least. Look at Lightning. The game hasn't been out for a year, and yet she's already set to appear in The 3rd Birthday(as a costume) and Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded as an avatar, plus Itadaki Street Mobile. Hmm...character references definitely have a higher chance than anything else.

It's kind of already been stated that FFXIII and Versus XIII do not take place in the same world and only connected by loose common mythological terms as well as the heavy theme of crystals. I have no idea why they had to come out with multiple FFXIII games - I guess they thought Versus would be too unconventional to be a FFXV and made it a sidestory. Still I have no idea why they even have to make Versus instead of going straight over to the next game.

And with Pulse being
desolate and uninhabited
for some reason that I didn't quite fully get either, I highly doubt the possibility of Versus being set on Pulse. Plus Nomura has pretty much shot this kind of theory down when he said both games are in the same universe but not world. The only "crossover" I can see would be nods towards terms we have already seen before like L'Cie and Fal'Cie.
 
I don't really want these stupid little teasers in my Versus game. FFXIII is great, but Versus is something new, and I want to enjoy that refreshing taste of known concepts with a darker, edgier, newer plot, which I'm really looking forward to.

Final Fantasy XII only borrowed location and typical concepts from Tactics- and Montblanc-, until they shoved Vaan and Penelo and God knows who else in Tactics Advanced 2, and that wasn't great. So I hope to God they make it new and refreshing.

"Desolate"? Pulse is a thriving landscape!

I definitely noticed the Fal'cie and L'cie concept too. Although, I guess we'll never know until Versus gets released. Seeing as its a FF game, there'll no doubt be references to other characters of past FF's. Lightning's Lionheart gunblade was a dead-giveaway to her referencing to Squall form FFVIII.

Seriously, why IS the compilation mainly consisting of these three titles? It's honestly making me wonder. Also, the fact that both the card-wielding character from Agito and Lightning have Odin as a summon. If he also appears in Versus, I'm going to go insane. There has to something.

You're telling me! I hope they shove the Paradigm Shift out and make something more interactive and fun like KH!

maybe versus would take place after the events of ff13 and the setting be the new gran pulse after the ppl of cocoon start to live there, and the events of 13 affect the versus world and story? and some how link together at some point?
 
No, no, a thousand times no. I don't need a mediocre game in which the graphics are indeed beautiful, but the plot was half-assed, and probably written in a week or two. No more sequels, or easy money.

Unless they really, really work on it- no.

No offense...but...no, no no, a thousand times no. It is my hope that these are two very separate games and that SE decides to keep them that way.

The only likenesses that I can see between the two is gratefully the crystal theme. People are turned into crystal in XIII and Noctis protects his in FF Versus XIII.

There were so many things that killed FFXIII for me, the overly politically themed plot, Lightnings constant pms'n, Snow and Serah (No offense, they were cute but If I can't go about an hour or so in a 40+ hour game and not hear about Serah and the need to protect Cocoon thats not a good thing in my book), not to mention the ridiculous linearity of the game.... Oh and the battle system: Button smash A...A A A
*Paradigmn shift* ...and continue smashing A. I just ....:hmmm: LET IT DIE PLEASE. :rage:

Anyways, I'm definitely looking forward to the new twist Versus brings to the series. There's so many parts of it that I like: The dark theme, Noctis, the Shakespearean undertones, and the modern look of it are all very appealing to me. After XIII almost anything has got to be better.
