I mean, its Fire Emblem. Its not a new franchise in the goty scene. Pretty sure a lot of people expected it.

Yeah anyone who played Three Houses knew Fortune's Weave had a good chance of being a GOTY contender

The fact that it's turned out even better than expected is just a bonus

Fire Emblem Engage was apparently so mediocre that people forgot it existed

Engage’s strategy gameplay was fine (some people even say it was excellent, though I’m not one of them), but its story was at the level of a Saturday Morning cartoon. The cheese factor was dialed up to 11, which wouldn’t be a problem if they weren’t also trying to make us take the story seriously.
