One thing I wonder about this now is will it definitely be a digital only title? I hope not. I hope there is the option to buy a CE disc...and not the bullshit they pulled with Drakengard 3 where the CE contained a digital code in EU but not in NA. As an FF game, I really hope a disc version will be an option, whether it's a standard version or LE or CE or whatever.
I wish they would have given us more info about the game. We still dont know if it's just a simple HD remaster like we've seen on the PS3 or if it's more like Wind Waker HD where they went in and dramatically overhauled the graphics.
Seeing as how they plan a physical release for the PS4/Xbox One...you would think they would do more than just raise the resolution, but Square Enix is completely unpredictable so i have no idea what to expect. I'm just glad they are localizing it, i've wanted to play this game for a long time.

Thought this would be relevant.

Basically, Sony is done making 1st party games for the PSVita and are focusing on third party and indie games.
Can't really blame Square Enix for porting Type-0 to consoles now. The message Sony is sending here is that they're not confident in the PSVita. If they're not confident then why should 3rd party developers be? The situation with the PSVita is a difficult one as the big players either never gave strong support or have dropped out. But now they're making it more difficult.
It's hard to blame Square Enix for the decision they made. They made the right call as far as I'm concerned.

Agree; I don't blame SE at all for the decision they made. I'd like it to come to Vita because that's where so many of the actual fans that want to play Type-0 are. At this point, it's more of a goodwill gesture. But in a long term business point of view, it makes more sense to simply ignore it. I'd wager that most of those that really want to play the game will end up getting (or already have) a PS4/XBO anyway.
It's a bit like the third party situation on Wii U. Difference there is that Nintendo is actively supporting its console with lots of strong first party titles to keep it afloat. Bit of a different situation, though, because it's a home console, and Nintendo can't really afford to just abandon it. The backlash would probably be very strong from fans that bought one. But clearly Sony isn't that arsed about the reaction from Vita owners.
Sony's probably doing the right thing tbh. Vita is a bomb in the West. Is there really much point pumping money into first party titles for it which no one will buy? If Type-0 does ever come to Vita, it'll be a very lucky blessing, but it'll likely be the last high-profile game to do so.

I hope that's not what this annoucement was really for. I really do.

He's just speculating.
And it seems like people don't want to face the harsh reality that PSVita is a failure in the west and is selling terribly. Even Sony isn't supporting it with their first party offerings anymore.
One cannot just blame Square Enix for this decision. Sony also deserves to be blamed as well.

I know it's not selling great, but a lot games are being announced for it. It's doing something right by adding to it's library. People who have it already, at least, can get some good games here and there on it.
EDIT:
I wouldn't want this, but since 3DS has a huge library and sells well (dominates the handheld biz) maybe they should've put Type-0 on that. Or at least Agito.

They're adding a bunch of niche Japanese titles to PlayStation Vita's library. If you love those type of games then yeah it's great! But if you don't then no. Unfortunately those games don't have mass appeal and aren't going to increase the install base.
Final Fantasy Type-0 was designed with Sony's demographic in mind. To be more specific, the game was designed to appeal to Japanese gamers. That's why it's not coming to the 3DS. Nintendo does not target Sony's demographic. Resident Evil Revelations on Nintendo 3DS didn't sell well for this very reason.
Has nothing to do with porting costs as it's being ported to XBox One and PlayStation 4.
