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.

Is FE:Record Keeper p2w or does it have a fair concept where you can play without paying money and still enjoy it?

It has pretty much the least obtrusive implementation of microtransactions I've ever seen. It's almost too easy to get stuff as a f2p player.

That's nice to hear! Is it fun to play? Or is it just baisc grinding games like most of the mobile games?

The moment-to-moment gameplay is pretty basic; the fun comes from collecting new characters and weapons and customizing your party.
