>>41151783I'll give you some of those but no side objectives, there are side objectives they just aren't stated on the map conditions, keeping civilians alive for the Fraldarius relic as an example or just better rewards like defeat all the thieves in Sylvain's paralogue.
There are defend objectives too, chapter 12/14, Ashe and Petra's paralogue have loss conditions if the enemy reaches certain tiles or kills an ally unit.
No enemy recruits is technically true but certain allies defect after the timeskip and you have to beat them with Byleth to re-recruit or they'll just die.
>chests give you fucking nothingWhat do you define as nothing? Stat boosters, gold, forging materials, rings and sacred weapons/weapons that can't be bought or forged doesn't sound like nothing to me.
