I give it an 8. The 2019 lineup is looking absolutely stacked from June onward but its lacking a notable April/May game, if Fire Emblem released in one of those months instead of July than I would probably give it a 9.

Well, let's look what non-indies we have in those months, shall we?

April 2: Darksiders: Warmastered Edition

April 5: Super Dragonball Heroes: World Mission

April 16: Final Fantasy X/X-2 remasters

April 23: Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen; Mortal Kombat 11

April 30: Final Fantasy XII

May 21: Team Sonic Racing; Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland (western release)

 

I'd say April is relatively fine without it (unless you don't like FF), and they wouldn't have wanted to miss out on Goldenweek by just a couple weeks or even days, so May would have been out of question, either.

And I agree May is a bit empty right now, but since everybody wants to cash in on Goldenweek that's often the case anyway. Plus, Sword Art Online : Fatal Bullet and Super Neptunia RPG are set to release in spring, so they might fill up one of the gaps in the lineup.
