>refusing to give Nintendo even ports of mainline Final Fantasy games long after Nintendo dumped the cartridge format
They even briefly ditched Nintendo's handhelds, porting their classic Final Fantasy games to the WonderSwan instead of the GameBoy Color/Advanced only to move back to the GameBoy after it was clear that the WS would not be released overseas. Apparently, Square also had a problem with Nintendo's censorship and strict licensing policies. The cartridge format was just the final nail in the coffin.
