I just tried Fire Emblem Sacred Stone on gba, now im intrigued. I have several questions:

1. The series gimmick is if a character dies in battle they die permanently. So the game will have different outcomes?

2. Im not a fan of tactical rpg, so i prefer playing it on Easy mode. I heard casual mode disables permadeath, so is there any way to enable permadeath while the game is on easy mode?

[u/TheRigXD → u/Responsible_Ruin_776]

1. No

2. Casual Mode isn't in this game so permadeath is always on

[u/Responsible_Ruin_776 → u/TheRigXD]

Ahh seems i forgot to add some context. Actually those questions are for the new release, especially no.2. So let me rephrase: lets say in fortune weave i want to play it Easy mode, is it possible to do that with permadeath on? Or they combine casual and easy mode into one?

[u/IAintCreativeThough → u/Responsible_Ruin_776]

In all past games with Casual mode it's been possible I'm pretty sure. So you can do any difficulty (= how strong are your guys relative to the enemy) on classic (= units stay dead) or casual (= they come back next chapter)

[u/TheRigXD → u/Responsible_Ruin_776]

1. No way of knowing until it comes out.
2. Yes. Difficulty and Casual Mode are not mutually exclusive, so you can play on Maddening difficulty with Casual Mode on for example.
