You really don't know what you are talking about. Sony is most assuredly not stopping them from putting it on the PSP, why would they? SE has already released FFIII on PSP, well after Vita's arrival. The issue is only that they want Sony to fund the port to Vita, or basically do whatever MS has been doing for them this gen to get them to bring them games. If it is possible, I do think Sony should fund FFType-0, it would benefit them greatly if they want it and it would be stupid not to.

as for the rest of what I said, its not fanboyish. It is a fairly accurate assessment of the outcome of going multiplatform, which in turn is virtually non existant or detrimental. When a game has been exclusive for 2 gens, people are set in their mind where it will be and where they want to play it. That mindshare right there is killing Square Enix after repeatedly handing every game off to anyone but Sony, the console with the strongest concentration of SE/JRPG fans. 

Bottom line is no game is going to do mysteriously better by being multiplatform And if it is a well known IP, sticking to what has already been layed out is the most cost efficient choice. Multiplatform-atism does nothing but devide up resources that could be better appropriated and decrease the possibilities of that product. Why does every other gen base itself on exclusives? Because when you don't you end up like....well this gen's console cycle.

For you and Basilzero:

look on this thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=149919&page=1#

"What’s more is that we have confirmation from a second source that Square Enix is having a hard time coming to any sort of resolution regarding a western release. They claim that Sony Computer Entertainment hasn’t been much help either, and so the title is at a standstill as they’ve exhausted all options."

I've Read this already and it doesn't discredit what I said above, or affirm what you stated. As the article says, there is very little chance they would release it for PSP knowing it's state in the US. If it is going to be localized it will be for the 2 next best pics:PS3 as HD collection or Vita. I doubt it is anything Sony is doing to explicitly BLOCK the release of this game, rather it is what Sony is NOT doing (IE:Paying them to) bring it to Vita or as PS3 HD collection. If they want it to be on PS3, it would have to have significant upgrade as well as come with something else (IE:Crisis Core:FFVII) to be aproved which is nothing new. Sony might not have the cash for it as of right now, who knows. Like I stated above, if they do have the means to give them what they want they should as FF name is a sure fire system seller that they desperately need.
