Is fire emblem permadeath like red cards in football where as soon as you have more than 3 the whole game gets cancelled

Playing Moon has been a really cool experience. I also feel vindicated realizing a bunch of the staff attached to this game also worked on Flower, Sun and Rain which is the one tedious game I'll die on a hill defending.

real fire emblem heads play on classic but then always restart when someone dies, anyways

because the point isn't to continue through the losses, it's to add a more stringent failure condition

Playing without permadeath changes the calculus of battle because suicide tactics become very viable, without other consideration. Anyone ignoring this fact has either but thought enough about the gameplay systems or wilfully ignores it.

I would like a game that captures the energy of The Genius.

Specifically in the "Extreme Ways" moments

Kind of like the Witness or Outer Wilds but with other people (NPCs are fine) involved

Edit: Same energy, when Yugi reveals his secret Dark Magician Girl stratagem

Have you ever played the Zero Escape games

Gnosia is pretty good too I wish more people played it

Yeah, in the older games you could easily ironman and really it’s entirely possible to do in every game but even the Fire Emblem devs started making the games around the assumption that you’d savescum deaths with the kids/moms in awakening.

Not that ironmanning isn’t viable but it’s for better or worse (worse imho, just cut out the middleman and make house deaths a fail state if you’re gonna have school customization stuff) not how the 3H devs assume you’ll play.

You know the answer

Even if it was made ironically, there's no way people didn't use it sincerely

I'm enjoying squid game. Watched the first four episodes now. I can definitely feel each episode just being a bit too long, but that mostly keeps me.from binging it all at once which makes the pace feel better.

Awakening Hard Mode broke me from even attempting the harder difficulties. I just don't find same turn reinforcements fun at all, even if I do prefer to iron man the games.

I don’t mind them in some of the older games, like in Binding Blade it feels like they tried to avoid the most unfun parts that cause resets but Awakening’s are a special kind of bad.

This is a huge problem with Movies nowadays, I watch a lot of "Classic" movies and I'm always impressed at how effectively they manage their time, especially given the contraints of the Studio system of the tiem. The new Bond movie is almost 3 hours long, does it need all that time? Certainly not, but people have accepted this overly long, nonsense so it's become acceptable.

yup this. also applies to people making videos on youtube about stuff lol

I'm not a fan of overindulgence in any form of media. If you've got a statement to make then you should come out and say it without condescending to me or wasting my not-so valuable time. Anybody who thinks 3 hour comic book movies are good should spend five years grading undergraduate writing, you'll be absolved from your love of ponderous storytelling real quick.
