I imagine mobile ports aren't out of the question though as Agito Plus is coming to PSVita.
It's probably the bigger efforts that won't happen.

Well, you could try porting something like Final Fantasy Explorers to the Vita. But you're not going to do it, are you?
This is the Square-Enix who see the Vita as a third mobile operating system these days (not counting Windows Phone 8, because who cares about Windows Phone?), if Agito+, Rise of Mana and Chaos Rings are of any indication. Were the sales of FFX and X-2 HD on Vita just not up to their lofty standards?

The Square-Enix style of "listening to fan demand" seems to work like this:
Executive #1: Alright, peeps. We need good, easy PR this week. What are fans a bit disquiet about today?
Executive #2: Well, sir, they appear to have it in their heads that the PlayStation Vita should receive more Final Fantasy love...
Executive #1: We already gave the plebs Final Fantasy X and X-2 HD. What more do they want?
Executive #3: Well, call me crazy, but many folks online sound a bit miffed that we're putting Type-0 HD on consoles, instead of the platform they've loudly been asking for.
Executive #1: How annoyed are they at the moment?
Executive #2: Uhh, well, currently nowhere near as annoyed as the online hordes threatening to push Tabata-san off a cliff, but I'll admit, we've not exactly been too generous with Vita fans, ha-
Executive #1: Look, people love FFX. They can play that on their Vitas as many times as they can, so really, we've been super generous with them. If not, we've put mobile games on the platform. I'm sure no one will notice, but when they do, they can't make the case that we're neglecting the platform. OKAY?
Executive #3: But people want more Final Fantasy on Vita, and frankly, we could also do with good PR this week, as you've said. Everyone's mad for some reason!
Executive #1: Alright, here's the plan. Let's just get Tabata-san to say something vaguely positive. Tell him to tell the plebs that if they're loud enough, we'll probably put more Final Fantasy games on Vita. I don't care how he does it, but we're ritually sacrificing him if he annoys more people as a result.
Executive #3: But we're not going to honour their wishes, are we?
Executive #1: How the heck were you promoted this many times and still sound so unsure? Of course we're not.

I can't really see myself buying the numbered FF HD releases for Vita if they're available for home-consoles. Like X, I bought it for PS3 only and would do the same if XII came out on both, as much as I enjoy my Vita. Now, I would definitely grab Vita versions of games like Crisis Core, the Dissidia's, Tactics, etc., however.
Man, thinking of it now, Crisis Core really deserves so much more attention than just that PSP release. They need to get that game to more people.

In regards to FFXII HD, they probably just don't have the resources right now or it's too early to talk about.
