fire emblem: what if we made you fall in love with these characters and their feelings and goals and dreams me: omg yes fire emblem: ok youre halfway through the game. what if we forgot about all that because theoretically speaking half of them could be dead. so we cant have them be important. yknow

My hot take is: they should be okay with removing permadeath entirely if they aren't writing the game around those permutations I'm not NOT a fan of permadeath generally but I actually do not think it's super interesting mechanically in FE, it just makes you feel more risk averse overall

its fun for the story you make up in your head ("omg so and so died against a general from their country...") but storywise it is 100% bringing the game down. i guess its fun mechanically

"but did you get the dietrich/fabio S-rank" YES AND I HAD TO S-RANK CAI FOR IT. THIS IS WHAT IM WILLING TO DO FOR GAY MEN WORLDWIDE #ALLY

To set expectations properly I honestly think they should've named Part 3 of the game "Fortuna's Path." It has very little to do with the other 4.
