Hmm I have strange feeling we might not get the ps3 title in the west. Also wouldn't this be Square Enix's decision, not Sony.

Well yeah, I mean that Sony create consoles with such a good echo system that developers will want to support it for a long time.
But Sony themselves also tend to support their systems with good games rather than holding them off for the next gen.
Though what makes you think that it will be PS4 only in the west? Besides Dragon Quest: Heroes, are there any other examples of Suare doing that?

Square is the same company that didn't release Type-0 on handhelds in the west (when they should have), that is why I say they most likely won't. I hoping the rumor that Sony is putting money behind this, to be true, because honestly if it is ps3/ps4 title, everyone should be able to play it, not just Japan.

Well I don't think they had any plans for a PS4 HD version during the original game's development, which was even planned for mobile at first. So rather than making one version for the west, and another for the east, I think it was rather a decision to not localize the original game outside of Japan. Just like certain Tales of games from namco never reached the west.
But after the original PSP game came out, they've gotten a lot of fan requests for a western release, and since Japan had already played the game, and we in the west had not, that might be why they reconsidered for the PS4 version. And to no one's surprise, Type-0 didn't sell very well in japan on PS4.

I'm also taking into account time as well. Japan generally allows games to be on shelves longer for previous consoles (Hence why you saw GBA/DS/PS2/PS3/PSP games), while the west generally starts abadoning them faster. I hope they do, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. Personally I would pick this up for the ps4 (prefer the controller).
