The mainline FF games haven't appeared on a Nintendo home console since Super Nintendo, so it's by no means something anybody should be expecting for Wii U.  If it were to happen, it would be a very significant change for Square Enix.  I think Wii U will get the Dragon Quest X port, maybe some kind of Kingdom Hearts remake or port, and then mabye one or two of those DQ Monsters or FF Chocobo games.

They never appeared on Xbox so what's your point? Fact is the series is multiplatform now and would sell on Nintendo's platform it wouldn't be a siginificant change like you claim it would just be Square being Square, the industry has changed and that's what a number of people are factoring or can't fathom, this isn't the PS2 era.

FFXIII was only ported to 360 outside of Japan, because 360 had outsold PS3 and the target audience was nearly identical.  I don't think an unproven Nintendo console owned mostly by Mario and Zelda fans is anywhere near the same situation.  If Wii U ends up selling really well, it may get a port of a main FF game, but it won't happen right out of the gate.  Too much risk.
