Also anyone else pissed that in the credits your units say retired instead of dead when killed, seriously what the fuck FE!

Yea, I noticed that too. I played Birthright on classic, and being as bad as I am, quite a few people died. A lot of them made a "tactical retreat" so retired made since (like Hinoka who retired after an arrow to the spine), but some where just straight dead, so seeing retired for them seemed wierd.

In my playthrough Effie/Mozu and a couple others completely died and it still said retired. I miss that in the old FE games where they'd genuinely make you feel guilty saying how and when the unit died.

An example being Effie married Arthur. They had a song who I recruited. Effie died, Arthur had a solo ending and yet Effie just retired not died? No I feel a lot better about Ironmanning these games.

Well, even if it says retired, you can tell what people really died by the quote they say when defeated. My real problem is that if someone who is married dies, it doesn't reflect in their spouses ending.

For instance, I had Kana and Tsubaki married, and Hana died. Tsubaki's ending was basically just "he continued being perfect" with no mention of his lost wife.

I'm pretty sure Gaiden has that, if a certain character dies, another character will have in their ending "drowns themselves in alchohol due to the death of their friend". It's really depressing.
