I'm not sure if what he says is untrue, per say, but a lot of it certainly has no weight. I found it easy enough to find an example of what you're talking about (like this news article from
https://www.dualshockers.com/falcom-legend-heroes-titles-west/), where Kondo says in response to bringing over the Crossbell games, "That's something that I really really want to do, and it's something that I'll have to work with our partners or find a partner to make it happen." Obviously, this statement is empty since there are many things people want to do, but that's a far cry from having any plans to act. At the same time, the vague plans hinted at in such statements could eventually become realized, and there's a decent chance that could happen if Falcom actually brings the Crossbell games to PS4 (but that's a big if).
