one lets you play hoshido, one lets you play nohr
nohr gives less options to grind making it harder and then characters and the ending is different probably but i have no idea yet
hoshido is easier and lets you grind whenever
if you buy one and eventually want the other you can buy dlc from the eshop and you'll be good to go, or the 'third' version of the game which gives you both and the third option (which is probably also dlc but i can't read jpn eshop to confirm)
you can change your hair style in your castle! no color option, unfortunately, but god damn that's incredible
by grind i mean you can spend gold to place an enemy squad wherever, at chapter 7 it's about 1400g/node so it's not exactly FREE but it's not STRENUOUS by any means
