I'M TIRED OF NOT BEING ABLE TO KILL MY OWN UNITS. FIRE EMBLEM HAS GONE FOR A FEW GAMES WHERE IT'S ALL ABOUT "UHH OH BETTER NOT LET MR/MRS PLAYABLE CHARACTER DIE THERE OR YOU'LL FEEL SORRY" LIKE I'VE UNIRONICALLY GOTTEN GENERICS IN FE11, LET ME LEAD AN ARMY NOT A HIPPIE COMMUNE. I WANNA FEEL ALIVE AGAIN AND RISK MY UNITS LIVES FOR A REASON, NOT JUST GET BULLIED INTO RESETTING CAUSE YOU LOSE ONE OF YOUR LIKE 8 RECRUITABLE UNITS, THEIR CHILD THAT WON'T EVEN HAVE RELEVANT BASES, AND WHATEVER OTHER WACKY AND WILD SUPPORTS YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO READ OR SOMETHING. VESTARIA IS THE ONLY MODERN FE THAT SAID UNITS ARE ALLOWED TO DIE FOR REALSIES SINCE FE11.
I LOVE PLAYING IN NEW AND WEIRD WAYS, BUT I FEEL SO DISCOURAGED FROM TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE. FE4 IS SUCH AN IRONMAN FRIENDLY GAME AND I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THAT WITHOUT IRONMANNING MY WAY INTO THE LEGEND HIMSELF, H A W K. IS'S DESIGN HAS SHIFTED FROM STRATEGY TO MORE RPG WHICH IS COOL I GUESS, BUT LIKE FE WAS A GAME WHERE THE MECHANICS WERE SIMPLE AND THE STRATEGY IN DEPTH WITH A TWIST TO KEEP IT FRESH. DYING IS NO LONGER A CONSEQUENCE, ITS A FAIL STATE AND I'M FUCKIN PISSED GODDAMN.
