These games have practically nothing in common, but I'm wondering what you guys would do.  I know not much is necessarily known by many of you about FFXIII, but I'm wondering if I should sell MW2 and just use that money to get FFXIII.  The responses might influence my decision some.  Just so I can see the results, I'll vote "No" here (there really should be another option to view these).

I actually would.  Partly because I got bored and tired with the multiplayer in MW2. That's just me though

I hate anything with the Final Fantasy name post SNES-era and think Modern Warfare 2 is awesome, so I really can't help you personally, but everything that I have heard about it critically has been lukewarm at best, and appearently it's super linear (as in, a straight line almost the entire time) That sounds super unappealing to me.
 
But it is your game and your money, so you can do what you think is best. I suggest waiting for some more reviews from this side of the pacific before making a decision.

Nope. I don't plan on buying another JRPG ever. 
 
Unless, perhaps, it has Persona in the title.

I'm not talking about any of that.  The question is if you could trade MW2 for FFXIII, would you.  There are no variables or exceptions here, it's a direct trade.

No. I find Final Fantasy games terribly overrated. Then again, that's also pretty much the way I feel about Modern Warfare 2, but still.

Still no there is just too much replay value in the MW2 multiplayer for me.

Hehe...  honestly, MW2 is starting to frustrate me deeply.  I dunno, it seems that I'm rarely having fun.  Even though I don't care about my K/D ratio anymore, dying sucks.  And dying repetitively is worst.  I feel like I need to modify my playstyle if I actually want to get decent, but then I don't have much fun and I feel like I'm in a routine or something.

No way. I'm big into both, the FF series got me into RPGs, but c'mon. MW2 is MW2.

I probably would. I'm getting tired of Multiplayer and I've never played a Final Fantasy game before so if such an offer came up, I would be very tempted to do so.

Yes because playing modern warfare feels more like a chore then actual fun the maps aren't that great it can get frustrating when one team starts to pull away and I don't see myself playing this game at all in the future no that I'm level 70

Yeah, No Doubt Whatsoever.....I probably will trade it (but for Bioshock II.) The real question here is.: If you could only play One of them, which would it be? And Yeah...I'd still go for Final Fantasy XIII. Then again, I bought MWII reluctantly (Cant rent in My country.), and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I enjoyed it, but not on My Top 10 of 2009 list.

No. It's sort of a personal policy of mine to never sell, trade in or throw away my games. There's always the chance I might want to go back to them.

FFXIII looks very underwhelming to me, though I am going to still rent it, but I would say easily, as I would trade anything really for MW2 because I've been done with it for a long time.

Hahahaha, hells to the no.
 
I think you should clarify the question, would I trade in MW2 to get FF13, straight up, no more money needed?
Or would I trade having had MW2 come out for FF13 instead?
 
Either way, no.  Hate FF and will keep hating it until they fix what is wrong with it.  Namely not make it so Japanese.

People who like Modern Warfare 2 don't necessarily always enjoy Final Fantasy and Vice-Versa.

That is absurd. MW2 is a multiplayer game with a solid two years of game play and community ahead of it to keep you busy. Final Fantasy XIII is another single player JRPG that you'll be able to buy for $20 or $30 after a few months. Why not just wait a little while and get it cheap and keep both?

I wouldn't... mainly because I could afford them all at some point or another (launch). And I already traded in MWII... for the Xbox version of MWII. I'm not trading that in again.  
 
Also I would never trade a game with such a fun multiplayer and progression stuff built into it, potentially keeping me busy during the stale gaming months for another two years (like COD4 did), for a linear RPG with an ending.  
 
Also I've heard so much scariness about this FF13 game that I think I'll have to dust off the ol' blockbuster card and give 'er a rent.

I don't like trading in any games. Plus I can afford to just by FFXIII outright, so my answer is no.

Hm, I hope that that's true.  I don't follow the decline in prices of games, but is that usually the case?  And more specifically, is that going to be the case for a really popular game like FFXIII (there's no doubt it's going to sell well)?  It was crazy to me to see that CoD 4 was still priced at $59.99 USED over at EB Games when MW2 was sitting right next to it.
 
@Carlos said:

I love renting games.  Thing is, I only rent games that I know I'll be able to finish in the short 7-day rental period.  That's why I've not rented GTA IV or Tales of Vesperia.  I'd definitely not be able to finish a game like FFXIII in that time frame (unless I rented it multiple times, I suppose)...

I would say the prices would go down pretty quickly, because it's an exclusively single player game with no replay value. Once the initial rush of buying the game subsides, people probably look to their low-replay value games like that first, when then wanna sell them. So there will probably end up having a crapload of used copies fast.

I voted yes in the case if you really had to.
 
Personally I wouldn't trade it in because I don't like to trade in games, and there's a bunch of other games I'd trade in first.
 
But if that was my only way of getting FF13, absolutely yes.
