well, it is and it isn't. it really feels like all of their ideas were allocated towards making hoshido into marysuetopia and fighting the good fight against the hilariously, obviously evil nohrian army, and that conquest was basically just an afterthought meant to justify selling two fucking games. on the other hand, the hoshidan characters are about as interesting as a tree stump (and they introduce hoshido with none of the characters that look even remotely interesting as well) and the entire prologue is presented in a manner where you've known all of those chucklefucks for a good 15 minutes total such that they don't do much of an argument for caring about any of them (alas, poor mikoto, i knew her... for 5 god damn minutes). really does feel like conquest goes about itself in an ass-backwards fashion even then, though, almost like they kinda went out of their way to avoid the simple way to make it interesting and took some time and effort to make it dumb as all hell.

actually, it's kind of weird. it feels like they went out of their way to make the nohrian family pretty interesting. lots of detail put into the characters of camilla, leo and elise. and on the other hand, the hoshidan royal family have no discernable personality characteristics aside from takumi, whose trait is "asshole". it's like they want you to like the nohrian royal family more, although that may also be to drum up sympathy for when you kill them and all of their friends in the other route i guess
