The throne bonuses for Conquest 17's boss could have been annoying, but Xander decided to land a crit and save me the trouble. I got a speedwing out of it too, I don't know how much longer I would have been able to keep the NPC alive at that point.
Throne bonuses are kind of reminding me of FE6, but I don't have the God Swordmaster to deal with them. D:
Oh well, not really a big deal.

Should I do character blurbs for Conquest? Haha
I know Rev is more like an encore than a brand new route, but I'm still really looking forward to it.

does the amount of turns it takes to beat a battle matter for anything? (other than something like re-inforcements coming after x turns in specific battles?)
I didn't notice anything in Birthright. I remember the older ones had some battles where you had to beat the stage in X amount of turns.
Nope. At first, I thought faster completion meant more DVP (until I spent 100+ maxing out Mozu on Conquest 13 and still ended up getting one full DVP and them some), but it seems the only impact it has is on reinforcements, aka. extra experience.

Probably gonna not bother using Nyx after the chapter I recruit her since the general consensus is that she's not that good. Now what to do with Mozu?
Yes!

I paired Nyx with Leo and let Leo do all the fighting.
I finished Birthright today, Chapters 23 and 26 had me laughing my head off for gameplay reasons.
Chapter 23
Chapter 26
Chapter 23
In my chapter 23, Camilla ended up being oneshot by Arthur, the NPC ally. Effie had already been shanked by some guys, so I just sat there in disbelief for a second at Arthur's smugass face.
Chapter 26
The first action I did on my first turn was to have Corrin attack Xander. She shouldn't have killed him, and I wanted to test the waters and see how it would go. Corrin then proceeds to proc Dragon Fang on both her attacks, oneshotting Xander, and finishing the chapter in a single move.

You can use an Eternal Seal to raise your level cap, although those cost a lot and are only available at the level 3 staff store.
I have over 400,000 gold right now, it's not too much of an issue. I just realized I forgot to do it, and Oboro maxed out Spear Master.

Chapter 23 and 24 in Birthright on Hard/Casual (There definitely was a difficulty spike right?!)
So I honestly underestimated both of these chapters. I was going through the chapters previous to this pretty easily but both of these were so annoying. Chapter 23 with Camilla's constant dragon vein spamming was terrible, especially since I had to heal at least a few people every turn. Besides that it wasn't too bad.
24 was annoying, I had thought the reinforcements would stop coming after a while but man it felt like they were never-ending. I just used my Ryouma and Kagero pairing to brute force through all the troops and kill Hans.
It seems half my troop was dead at the end of these missions

Yeah, you should!
Didn't read the whole thing (since I haven't beaten Conquest), but I definitely agree with you everything you said about Birthright.

Hmm just finished Conquest 13. That wasn't nearly as hard as I was expecting.
Oh and as a side note I can see myself replaying Birthright and Revelations again because I'm able to grind and more easily build supports. On this Conquest run I'm really having trouble making sure I'm getting supports and EXP spread about and it is stressful.

You get a few breather chapters after ch.12.
Also if you really want to grind some supports in Conquest, try finding a low level My Castle to visit and battle in it using only the pairings you want to level up. In spite of being unable to grind EXP in Conquest, you can still get Supports up this way.

I'm waiting on revelations to be released and its probably going to be the path I spend all my time on.

I don't know what it is about this game, but I am struggling with the RNG so much more than any previous FE game. Felicia goes and dies because she misses with a 97 hit rate... TWICE. And of course she couldn't get the clutch dodge on a 73 hit attack on the enemy phase.
I don't find Conquest/Hard to be that hard when it's not pulling that kind of nonsense. Same crap as chapter 10. Slightly different crap than the multiple 1 and 3% criticals from chapter 16.

It's kind of why I'm not that fond of RNG-based hit chances. Then there's the way we tend to forget most times the RNG behaves "like expected" (ie: a 75%+ attack connecting and a 60%- one missing), but the times the odds don't work out we tend to freak out (ie: 97% attack missing, or a 30% one hitting). And even with outlier cases, we tend not to be that upset (or happy) about them unless they're the decissive attack that gets one of our units killed (or kills the enemy and spares ours).
The one thing I hate the most are critical hits, since they tend to have very low numbers but still trigger enough to make me fear for my units' safety. And of course the times my units get crits they're overkill nearly all the time, or they even screw up any plans I might've had to weaken the enemy with the first attack in order to let another unit get the experience from defeating an enemy.

You are forced to put several characters in the bench, but you'll still have more than enough units to beat Hard Conquest even without grinding.
I had at least ten units at max level, and a few children units that were very close. I did my first playthrough naturally, and was able to recruit many children just by using the main chapters and paralogues.
The first playthrough is hard mostly because this game has a high learning curve. Future playthroughs on the same Hard difficulty will be cake. I'm staying away from Lunatic for the moment.
I started up Birthright yesterday, and I'll post impressions on that sometime.

Is revelation going to have a midnight release?
I don't know for sure, but it'll most likely be up at noon EST tomorrow.

Conquest is too hard :/ Just gonna turtle the rest of the game. Barely scraping by.
23 took multiple tries. My units arent strong enough to just fly over the gap and head towards the goal. Lost my best units in the first couple of turns trying this, so I opted to just slowly move and mow everyone down my path.
Things were good until I got to the middle ballista area where I lost like 4 units. By the end, I had 4 units left u_u

Yes, yes it was.
It was a fantastic level. If I was a better player I could have enjoyed it even more.
I regret rushing through Conquest since I just really want to play Revelation so damn badly. Definitely need to revisit this game due to how fun the gameplay is. Whew

Can you access all of the Birthright/Conquest paralogues in Revelation?
Revelation was gonna be the 100% file for me, so I didn't want to obsess over getting everything in the other two paths.

Paralogues? Pretty sure. 100% support logs? Nope!

In Conquest 8 do I need to worry about getting the best reward, or is the exp going to help me more in the long run? I've been avoiding the game for days because I can't decide which path to take.
Little something before Revelations comes out.

I dont think I can beat conquest 24
That barrage of kinshi knights are too much

Same. Just finished. 61:13 playtime. Enjoyed my time with the game. Took my time with revelations and got all the kids (except Jacob since I married Sakura). Had 2 level
25/45 characters.
All in all, a great game. I'm not sure I like the 3 path format. Path 2 had me sort of like "Ok I get it, I want to get to the real one now", which made it not as enjoyable. (I blazed through Conquest in 13 hours) But loved the changes like no weapon limits and the hub world.
9/10
I'm about 45 hours in to my Birthright file. I'm on chapter 21. Most of this time has been spent support grinding. I feel like I missed out on that when it came to Awakening, so I'm almost obsessed with getting a 100% support log in Fates. It takes about 10 minutes and 7 to 8 battles to get a support to S rank, and this is just Birthright, so Conquest is gonna be interesting.
