I'm only on Chapter 10 of Nohr currently, so I can't say very much. So far, there have been a couple different objectives: kill all enemy units, kill the boss, seize the point, and the one I'm currently on, defend for 11 turns (Chapter 10), which is kicking my ass. Dragon's Vein adds a couple variations to how you play, but I haven't found it necessary to use so far (excluding one chapter where it was necessary). I'm still early in the game, so I haven't seen anything really special yet, but judging from the difficulty/design of Chapter 10, I'm expecting a lot more map variation in later chapters.

Well, if you want to know anything about the characters or the story, you're obviously out of luck considering you won't be able to read any of it. However, if you just want to play the game (battles, My Castle to a certain extent), I don't think you'll have much difficulty. Most of the commands in battle are in the same place as Awakening / use the same buttons, and for skills, victory conditions, and other battle-related commands, as Fanatic&Ecstatic said, the stickied "Understanding the Menus" thread will cover your bases.
