With localization done for the PS4 there's little reason not to bring the Vita version. It wouldn't surprise me if it was download only though.
SE is on a fucking roll.
Considering they're releasing World of FF physically in the west for the Vita, I doubt that.

Maybe they were finally reminded it's OK to just do what you do best.

Digital only for Vita. Retail for the PS4 (where applicable)
English version can also sell for Vita in Asia so no reason to ignore it altogether.

That's just Square Enix. Jesus! How can I play all those games? PS4 has too many games.

OH MY GOODNESS
Just give us First Departure and I'm gonna almost smirk.
I could not be any happier with this. All in on Vita version of it gets localized.

It's largely unchanged. While SO1 was significantly altered/updated when they ported it to PSP, they were largely making it look more like SO2.
I don't remember what changed for SO2 from PSX to PSP, but it wasn't anything big that I recall.

Will this come west?
According to the SC wiki, these are the changes:
Most locations, items, Talents, Skills, Special Arts (called Killer Moves in the PSX version) and even some characters have been renamed (most notably the Ten Wise Men);
New voice acting, animated cutscenes and character portraits (as well new art style). All major story events now have voice acting.
The player now holds the Circle button to walk (rather than to run as it was in Second Story).
New recruitable character: Welch Vineyard.
New Private Actions and Endings.
Unlocking Galaxy and Universe modes now require defeating a specific number of enemies in a single playthrough rather than unlocking voices in the Voice Collection.
Pratically all Combat Skills have been refined, some being removed (such as Cancel, which is now automatically implemented).
Gale is now called Godspeed, and along with the increase of movement speed, randomly teleports the character towards the enemy.
Flip is now called Backstab, and instead of making the character only attack from behind, the character will randomly teleport behind the enemy.
New Skill: Sidestep, that randomly makes the character evade an incoming attack.
New Skill: Concentration, that randomly prevents spell cancelation when the character receives damage.
New Skill: Recast, that reduces recovery time between spells.
New Skill: Trance, that randomly increases damage dealt from spells.
The skills Strong Blow, Float, Provocation and Cancel have been removed.
The combat system has been slightly refined, now allowing all melee fighters to perform a 3-hit combo as their normal attack.
Additionally, short range anti-air attack no longer makes the character jump.
Players can press the Square button during some actions to cancel them (such as when the character is running towards an enemy).
The combat HUD has been toned down to be more light visually and fit better the PSP screen.
All characters have a cast bar below their MP, which is used for mages to see their recovery time between spells (but also affects non-mages that use casting items such as "The Scream").
The item timer is now located on the left side of the screen, at the bottom.
The Super Specialty "Bunny Call" no longer allows the player to "climb" on towns and some terrains. The player now will enter a town upon approaching while in Bunny Form, and can even activate private actions.
All items in the inventory screen are now depicted as 2D icons.
Item Creation can be sped up by holding down the X button.
Many bugs and glitches have been fixed (most notably the infamous random Cave of Trials screen freeze).
Ring of Lightspeed (called Slayer Ring in Second Story) now works on Dias Flac.

It was what I was afraid of. I found the original dub to be charming in a 'so bad it's good', kind of way-
* Rena falls in battle
Leon: SISTER RENA!!
* Precis falls in battle
Leon: SISTER PRECIS!!
I guess I'll check it out. Still, you're a cool dude. Thanks a lot.

I never played the PSP version, just the original, so this is excellent news.
Man, I remember beating the last boss with his limiter off... Scary stuff.

Are they also bringing the first game to the consoles? I never played it despite having bought it for PSP.

No mention of the first game. Probably not.
Don't care, it's a great game.
Still Star Ocean 2 on the PS4 so yes I will not remain clam!

Wait, new new artwork? Or just new compared to the PS1 ver?
You could have saves time and just said all Playstation now lol.
I think if NX is successful in Japan they won't ignore another potential handheld and console combo in their home land.
I can't imagine Japanese devs want to only develop for PS but Xbox and Wii U aren't selling well in Japan, their main market, and the 3DS is much weaker than the Vita.
I think by 2017-2018 you'll see these jrpgs releasing on Nintendo and Sony platforms.

Damn, I just had the weirdest déjà vu and I knew I had already read about that somewhere: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=942751
You would think so since there already is a western version, but the Enix side of Square Enix seems to enjoy ignoring this side of the pacific when given the chance.
Of course. The news here is the PS4 version.
