It would be worth it to the fans who like the other characters as well as the bigger characters. Other series have done it without it taking too much over the plot Examples like DBZ Tree of Might which was 61 minutes and Bojack Unbound which was 50 Minutes had all the Z Fighters fighting (Save Goku in Bojack).

Naruto had Konoha 11 all fighting in the sixth movie

One Piece usually has the main crew which varied from 3 to 9

Bleach had also done it in one movie with several captains and lieutenants as well as Ichigo.

So it's doable and to me it's more fun when the entire gang is fighting instead of just the usual cast of characters

The first FT movie was almost an hour and a half so they'd have plenty of time, the movies aren't really supposed to be about huge intricate plot it can be hard to get a good plot for an anime movie in such a short time to build up so many details, why most movies are considered Non-canon to anime, it's more for the battles.

What they could do is have the plot then have the rest of the characters show up to help out that's the easiest and handiest way to handle it.

I think if they did the main Erza, Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Wendy, it would be perfectly reasonable to have Gajeel, Juvia, Cana, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna to come in for the final battle.

Of course with the Movie poster of Natsu and last weeks chapter I fear that FT is becoming the Generic Shonen cliche in where the main hero takes the show like in DBZ, Bleach, and Naruto, etc,etc
