There are two reasons why Fire Emblem Hereos is FTP.
1. The FE franchise is still pretty niche. I mean some stanger's he grandmother might know who Mario is but be shocked if she knew who Marth was. Normal people are willing to shell out ten bucks for Mario game because they know who Mario is and many probably played his games as children. Fire Emblem doesn't have that luxury in the west unfortunately.
2. Fire Emblem series is well known for its loads and loads of characters. The gacha mechanic was game for FE. It aslo ensures that the game will have a healthy attachment rate.

I want Nintendo to be successful on mobile platforms, but this game just seem like a short term success plan. There isn't any more substantial content planned for the game and ounces people unlock everything, it's on to the deletion botton. There's a reason that the most popular apps are FTP and that the other two ninty moble apps will be free to play as well.

Re: Specter Of Torment Will Make Use Of The Shovel Knight amiibo

I would like to add that the Shovel Knight amiibo is the only one currently that adds drastically unique content to the games it's available to. A two player mode and a boss fight. It's not like other amiibo that just gives items that you could get in the game normally or skins that easy to program into the game. Sure you can argue the exclusive items that the Zelda amiibos give in Hyrule Warriors or the Splatoon Mimi games but those are few and far between.
