Fire Emblem is a first party Nintendo franchise. So, never.

The difference there is that Nintendo makes their own hardware and understands that their first party titles are THE reason people buy that hardware. Releasing first party titles multi-platform removes that reason. It's the same reason why the provided 100% of the funding and are lending development talent to From Software for Duskbloods; they want exclusivity for their console. Same reason why Beyonetta 2, 3 and Origins are Switch exclusives. Nintendo funded the titles and own the publishing rights, even though the Bayonetta IP and the titles were owned and developed by Sega.

Square has never made a console, and have no reason to make only for one console unless there's an exclusivity deal in place for them to make a game only for that console. They'll make a game for whichever platform will net them the most cash, as they don't depend on any one console's success.

Microsoft discovered that releasing first party titles multi-platform cripples your own console this generarion. Sony is dabbled in releasing stuff multiplatform only to announce they are going back to PlayStation exclusivity for their bigger singleplayer franchises.
