Conquest finished!

A word of warning; Chapter 27 leads directly into the Endgame map. You have no ability to return to the castle or save the game between the two maps. I assume the same holds for Birthright.

Was in the middle of the fourth map, on side one of Monsho no Nazo, about to beat down some armored knights in order to finish it, when I tapped the table my SFC was sitting on, apparently, jostling the contacts, and freezing the game. Reset to find that both of my game saves were gone. Naturally, I shelved it in favor of Rockman & Forte, but I was enjoying the game. So, I might give it a third shot. If it doesn't go well this time, I'm just going to give up on the Fire Emblem series forever--or until I decide to pick up a Famicom cart of Ankoku Ryu.

Oh, that sucks. Don't let that get you to give up on the series, though.

I finished Birthright on Thursday and started Conquest last night. When I started Conquest, I thought "I wonder what this new Phoenix mode is?" I thought I'd try it to see what it was. Then I realized that dead characters come back at the start of your next turn. Needless to say, I immediately turned it off. I play my first playthroughs on Casual to get all of the characters and figure out who I like, but jeebus, Phoenix completely defeats the point of strategy.

Yeah I saw that mode and thought about it then thought the same thing and just left it on casual when I started mine(I'm on the SE so I haven't picked either side yet...I've also forgot my 3ds at home when going to work )

You guys are really playing through Fire Emblem on casual? Really?

Hard & classic for me, atleast on Birthright. Will see what happens on Conquest.

From an item management standpoint, I feel I should point out that you will want to purchase all the seals from the rod shop before you upgrade it from rank 1 to rank 2. You won't unlock the rank 3 shop with unlimited seals until chapter 20 and when you upgrade to rank 2 any unbought seals from rank 1 are lost forever.

I play through on casual for the first playthrough to make sure I get every character and see how they interact with one another. When I do later playthroughs (because I never play a Fire Emblem fewer than 3 times), I do hard and classic and just focus on keeping the characters I like alive. I do the same thing with most games - play on an easier difficulty first, and then challenge myself in later playthroughs.

Ah, so you beat Radiant Dawn on Easy Mode then.
