Really makes you think...

>rank the character up until it is op
>still dies

there is no god

>side character dies in battle
>you can just use a revive on him, no problem
>main character dies in battle
>instant game over, even though everyone else is standing and still has a dozen revives in their inventory

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

>You can be either knocked-out or straight up killed in combat
>Death is actually a permanent feature and some enemies have instant-death abilities to keep you on your toes

>character dies in battle
>use item to revive them at 1 hp
>boss just kills them again
>repeat until you give up trying to revive them
>win the fight with them dead
>they're behind the rest of your party by 1 level the rest of the game

what game does this?

hitting by a meteor from outer space doesn't count as KO

>gets blasted with magic fire by the god of dragons
>163 dmg
>gets stabbed in a cutscene by some punk with a knife
>ded

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

>character dies
>lol no he didn't die that would be sad
Fucking Square enix

...

>Meteorites literally fall on top of you
>LOL HE'S JUST KNOCKED OUT GUYS

most games separate the mechanics and the story

>character gets his head cut off in an official fight
>KO

>character gets his head cut off in the badlands where there aren't any special snowflake NPCs watching the fight
>dead

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

>party members can be revived in battle
>if protagonist dies its a game over

>Party gets imprisoned
>Can't break out despite them doing all sorts of crazy shit mere moments ago

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.

>his
>not "he's"
Cred Forums is not for you

>final fantasy 5
>they actually try to use phoenix down and life on the dead char with no success
