That point came second to their desire to sound smart, and hence they ended up sounding stupid.

Alternatively, it may be faster and easier still to make the best of it and choose a different line of reasoning for this part of your perfect file. Choose to let it be a natural record. Choose to have everyone die once, or 8 times. Choose that you want to see the scene where the Trepies scold you for letting Quistis get knocked out more often than you. Choose that you didn't really do everything in the game if you never got knocked out. Choose that eating a barbecue chicken immaculately is inherently imperfect. Anybody comes around your house with a maximized file but straight 0s, point out that he seems to have wasted quite a lot of money on Phoenix Downs.

there's games with fights the player is meant to lose. Sometimes you can win anyway and the game just ends right there and sometimes the fight just keeps going in an endless loop and you can't advance till you manage to die.

I hate these. Just have me instantly die when I get the boss to half health or something! Otherwise I'll use a bunch of consumables not realizing I'm supposed to lose.

or have the game give you your poo poo back when you die. it doesn't make narrative sense but it takes away some of the shittiness

That's why the only possibly tolerable version of that is when it's the very first thing that happens and you don't have any consumables to lose

After the forced loss, the antagonist leaves a coin pouch for you, equal to the cost of the consumables you wasted fighting them.

No dumbass you save every elixir for the final battle in case you need them and then grind up to become so powerful that you don't ever have to use them so you can always have them in case you need them

Good guy with a good heart, but massively burnt out by singlehandedly running the forums for a couple of years. Made some dumb decisions at times but overall was a decent admin.
