Well, hopefully this will attract more newcomers to the series, but I don't see myself using it, ever. It kills the strategic spirit of the series, IMO, but that's just me, someone who's had quite a share of experience with FE.

That's the only problem i might have with it. It's not like a super-easy mode or anything, it really changes the strategic core of things. If you learn to play with deaths off, then you'll start doing things like have one character do a kamikaze run to draw off a whole horde of enemies. At least, that's what i would do...

Oh, I can see tons of exploratory techniques being used with perma-death off, that's for sure. But as long as it's optional, I guess there's no harm done. To be honest, I would prefer that there would be some kind of separation between those who play with Perma-Death on and Perma-Death off. Probably better exp gain per action, or SS level weapons being available only to Perma-Death on.
