That's a lot of people but that was a huuuge war and a large battle, so it's kind of to be expected. (Plus, later medieval times for those battles.)
I feel like FE takes place close to 1400s (our real life history timeline) if we're gonna get picky.
10,000 might be a great army coming from, IDK, Laus, but coming from Bern it's probably pretty piddly. (There's a reason Laus is part of the Lycian Alliance.) I've tried to pick my way around sizes of various FE7 cantons but I feel that FE9/10 is way different because IMO the countries are huge (landmass wise).

In FE9/10 it's safe to say they're large-scale wars because they encompass a LOT of territory (and therefore population). I'm no expert but I think the first couple battles in the Hundred Years' War had like 15,000-25,000 (differed per side English/French). Like uhh maybe the Battle of/at Crécy.
