Started playing Shin Megami Tensei IV.

If you die a few times in this game, you unlock the ability to lower the difficulty or change it back again at any given time. So I died a few times at the beginning on purpose to unlock it, just in case it would come in handy at some point.

For those of you who played the game, what did you do when it came to the difficulty, and the insta game over from failing to strike enemies first?

I kind of doubt you died on purpose, considering you can just play normally and if you die enough it'll unlock regardless.

I had no issues with the difficulty.  I found it to be much easier than SMT Nocturne and the Digital Devil Saga titles.
