Not to my knowledge. XSEED is working with ports Falcom made on their own initiative. If Falcom hadn't made these PS4 ports of Cold Steel I doubt we'd be seeing them. For the Trails in the Sky games, the platforms Falcom has put them on that we haven't seen them on are PS3 and Vita (Evolution version).

The PS3 versions were discussed heavily years ago, like 2014 ago, and while it was never explicitly stated by XSEED, it sounded like the ultimate sticking point was that as a PSP Classic the PS3 version lacked trophies and SCEA had a hard rule that PS3 releases had to have trophies so it just died there. Though again, that's just the rumor, there's no official word on why the PS3 versions never were brought over. As for Vita, the sticking point there had been that they were fully voiced and Kadokawa would need to be negotiated with too. That the dual audio is included here suggests that part isn't necessary insurmountable. Not sure about Kadokawa though. And either way, Vita is practically dead here now so it may be too late there.

tl;dr: No. Falcom would need to make the PS4 port themselves and I know of no information suggesting that's on their agenda at the moment.

Ah, damn.

Do the PS4 ports have anything over the PS3 ones aside from better graphics? Like any sort of extras or whatever?

Full voice acting and dual audio.

Guess Ill wait for these then

I wonder what the time gap will be between releases.

I have the PS3 versions, but hearing these have full voice acting makes me want to just get these ports and play those instead

Dual Audio is the main one.

However they also added in some of the improvements from the PC versions (though probably not all the graphical ones in the PC version)

So the English voicing will have the 5000 added voiced lines not in the original PS3 version (Japanese track won't because XSEED made these lines voiced on their own initiative and they were not voiced in the Japanese version at all). And there is also a turbo mode. (Sounds like Falcom added this in on their end so I don't know how it compares to the one XSEED put in.)

They're also running at 60fps.

I'll probably end up caving and buying these. Apparently the save data and stuff will carry over so i can see a CS2 save working when we get CS3.

CS3 doesn't have data import from CS2 AFAIK.

The save data stuff is cross-save from PS3/Vita CS1/CS2 AFAIK.
