Why is it that the FE roster is known more because of their one-liners than their actual games?

Along with Shulk and Captain Falcon.

I understand that FE, Xenoblade and F-Zero are not the most known game franchises, but still...

To be honest, this is kinda generalising but I get what you mean. It is basically only Ike, Shulk and Captain Falcon who get this sort of "People play them because they like the things they say as opposed to how they play." treatment, and it's pretty much down to two words: Internet fads.

If I had a win for every time I heard "Now it's Shulk time.", "I'm really feeling it!", "Falcon Punch/Kick!", "Show me your moves!", "Aether!" or even the occasional "I fight for my friends.", I'd be ZeRo or something (-and, psst, I usually do get a win when I hear any of these. Just not... Y'know, literally every time, that'd be insane.).

Because FE isn't played that much.

Not only are the lines cheesy as hell, Ike's VA is pretty bad, even in his own games. Thankfully Ike's lines are "funny bad" and not just "bad bad".

I won't be surprised if they wanted the lines to be remembered, since Shulk and Robin's reveal trailers emphasized on them, hence why they are "one-liners".
