It's almost like... It was just a damn videogame...
Those items usually revive them from KO, not death.
They even tried it in FFV and it didn't work

what game does this?
hitting by a meteor from outer space doesn't count as KO

I love how FFV actually has the characters try to use the usual healing methods after a "cutscene death"

>lol no he didn't die that would be sad

If they die in battle it's because you're a filthy casual, it's not a canon death
Don't you faggots get tired of making the same fucking threads day after day?
>cast "death"
>"his just knocked out"
LAVITZ WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Do you think perma-kills are fun?
Answer: they are not.
Don't you get tired of me fucking ur mum day after day?
#rekt
a perma kill would be fucking dumb
>what is "knocked out"?
you had your guard down with the knife
Not something that happens when you get hit in the head with a sword
soup's
The thread has not died in a cutscene so it's only KO. Revive still possible.

Cred Forums is not for you
