Based off things going the way they are this year... nope.
Aside from needing to get more Switch systems out there, I don't think the FE audience will gravitate to this game. The developer coming out and announcing how limited the game's character pool will be in terms of potential characters is similar to Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, on paper it makes sense to use the best selling and most popular games, but I think the FE fanbase having seen SO many games with those sets of characters or seen them plastered into so many games are not going to rush to such a game.
This seems like a Nintendo or Intelligent Systems thing with FE because the variety of sources used in Hyrule Warriors over time and the Dragon Quest games seems like the developers are more willing to experiment which not limiting their character pool to just three titles would allow, especially given the recent character polls for FE Heroes showed the most popular characters for either gender (Ike and Lyn) are not even in those games.
But I will digress, I hope it does well, but unlike Hyrule Warriors or the DQ Heroes games, this feels like less love is being paid to the overall property and in cases like that, while it will draw the hardcore Dynasty Warriors fan, average fans and those of the FE franchise might not buy. |
Is Tharja in it? I reckon she could raise a lot of people's interest. :P

If by some impossible circumstance Tharja doesn't make it...
I'll bet all the lint in my pocket this one does.
OT: Based on what I was thinking(same as op's), I don't think so. After looking at the treehouse footage, FE: Warriors looks like it's in beta. The UI is generic and the animations are a bit awkward and choppy - from character movements to enemy respawns. It's possible the footage wasn't the latest in development, but at this point leading up to Hyrule Warriors, the game looked very much like it was complete. I'm worried this was a rush job, as it doesn't have close to the polish of HW, and I just don't think the desire for this game is really there.
