On the one hand, this looks really cool and it's caught my attention. The character designs are appealing, I enjoyed the music, and the gameplay looks interesting. On the other hand, do I really want to invest more of my time in a game that will likely end service 1 - 2 years after launch? Assuming it eventually gets an English release, I still have time to decide, but I've been burned far too many times to not seriously consider skipping. Which is unfortunate.

Same, SE is one of those companies with the worst track record for it right now.

For mobile games, I def agree. But what also caught my attention is the collaboration with Yūsuke Kozaki-san. I've always loved FE character designs.  What's more, SE is doing something different: the city-building part. I've tried FFVII: First Soldier, FF BE:WOTV, Mobius Final Fantasy, Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia, KH: Unchained, and Fantasy Earth Genesis... and as much as I did agree earlier about SE's track record, I wanna give this a try, for the benefit of doubt.
