Keyblader 325 Posted June 14, 2013 I just have a few questions about the game. First and foremost, is there an actual reason for why they changed the name to FFXV? I've been a bit curious as to why that change was made. Also, I never got the reasoning for them naming it Versus XIII, does it have something to do with the game itself at all? Sorta silly questions, but I still wanted to ask about it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caity 3,946 Posted June 14, 2013 Probably 'cause there's FF XIII, XIII-2 and XIII-Lightning Returns already. They're just moving onto the next number, it doesn't make a difference in game but it'll help not confuse fans into thinking it's another spin off of 13.

Drones 58 Posted June 14, 2013 To be honest, I've been wondering the same exact thing. Square Enix has their ways. Very strange ways that it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Velvet Scarlatina 607 Posted June 14, 2013 Because Nomura didn't want his game to be associated with XIII anymore. 4 Allpro11414, Reyn, Jim and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_eternal_nothing 586 Posted June 14, 2013 Because they made sequels to XIII already final fantasy versus XIII-2 would just confuse the hell out of people so my guess is for sequel purposes because they have high hopes for the game like the rest of the world Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freer709 44 Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Probably same reason why they changed Final Fantasy Agito XIII to Final Fantasy Type-0. Edited June 14, 2013 by freer709 1 Allpro11414 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobody 36 Posted June 14, 2013 The reason why it was called Versus XIII is because it belongs to the Fabula Nova Crystalis, the FNC is a series of stories that don't have anything to do with each other but have the same setting (I think). FF XIII, XIII-2, Lightning Returns, and FF Type-0 (Originaly FF Agito XIII) all belong to the FNC. As for why they changed the name to XV i don't know, but in an interview with Nomura at E3 he did say why, I just forgot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 5,571 Posted June 15, 2013 Read all the news about KH3 and FF XV during E3. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EternalReckoning 1,135 Posted June 15, 2013 well versus was aimed at the ps3 initially, so maybe they thought fans wouldnt notice it was the same game if they changed its name and moved it up to ps4 thats all i got, stupid but also a valid opinion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
