Only if you think the series is primarily a balanced representation of Nintendo IPs (and apparently non-Nintendo IPs too now). If it was, then a third of the roster would be Pokemon, a third would be Mario characters, F-ZERO, Pikmin, Kid Icarus, Earthbound, and Punch-Out!! would be reduced to a single trophy or assist only, Ice Climbers would be a sticker only, Starfox and Metroid would have only one character and stage each, and Zelda would have three characters tops. The Animal Crossing series would have a lot more involvement, and the Wii ___ series would be much much much better represented. Fire Emblem would probably have never had any characters ever, and would thus never have been released in the West. And Zelda would have its representation here trimmed, since it already has four characters, which is as many as the massively-successful Pokemon series, and Ganon may still end up returning too...
Since the series is actually a fighting-party hybrid game that also celebrates Nintendo, none of the above is true. There's no formula for how much or how little a series gets represented, and the Fire Emblem series offers plenty of fighters to fill out a roster. You can argue you think X should have more or less representation, but you can't pretend there's some sort of formula that isn't being faithfully followed. I'd prefer to have a bit less FE myself, specifically to exclude Lucina unless she's quite different from Marth, but then I'd prefer to drop Toon Link as well. Wha'chagonnado?
Also, it's hardly irrelevant: Girahim being lame has a direct impact on his likely exclusion. Note that we're getting fan-favorite Lucina, and not fan-snoozer Chrom. No one likes the former, lots of folks like the latter.
Seriously, fuck Girahim and the game he rode in on.
