Falcom's going/gone multiplat, so I wouldn't count that chicken quite yet...especially based on sales of the one that came out a few weeks ago.

Do you have a source for that?  I know they've expanded onto Steam, and I could believe that they're developing for 3DS too, but it's the first I've heard of it.

@ Bold, what was wrong with the sales?  It actually did better than a similar game on the PSP (Oath in Felghana was a remake of 3 for the PSP; Foliage Ocean in Celceta was a 'remake' of 4 for the Vita (though slightly different, new story)):

Two reasons: PSV games cost a great deal more to make than PSP games and it's already garnered the vast majority of the sales it's ever going to see--not exactly a recipe for future success on the platform.

As for Falcom going multiplat, it's a done deal (in their last financial report, and on 3DS as you noted), so I wouldn't count on it staying exclusive until it comes out and it stays exclusive.

lol, no they don't. This isn't a PS2->HD consoles comparison. People can't make that claim anymore. I'm sure it'll cost slightly more on average, but not enough for that to be a reason. It's even moreso considering Ys4 has already did quite well for itself.
