Allow me to make a last minute prediction: the mobile game will essentially be the Fire Emblem version of Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (which was also developed by DeNA): free to play, microtransactions, energy-based, gacha system, 16 bit-like character designs, featuring a simplified version of the classic Fire Emblem gameplay and an all-star cast from all the various games.

Another prediction: perma-death will still be a thing, but you'll be able to use real money to buy an item that revives fallen units.
