So in Classic mode, characters die permanently. That's great. I want that. It raises the emotional tension and makes for a more immersive experience. Here's the issue: Whenever I here about other people playing classic mode, they always talk about losing people and then restarting. Now obviously that's a cop-out and if you're doing that, you shouldn't be playing Classic mode at all (or Fire Emblem in my opinion), but is this a necessary evil? Like is it possible to lose so many companions that you can't progress anymore? I'm fine with losing all my characters if that's the experience I'm meant to have, but I obviously want to be able to complete the actual game. I've never played FE, btw. How does it work? |
Yes, it is possible to have progress halted, especially in the early goings. Towards the middle of the game though you begin to accumulate enough units that, unless you're losing them 2 or so per chapter, you'll be fine to finish the game.
For this reason I personally don't allow units to die until they promote(roughly 1/3 through the game), otherwise you're stuck with "replacements" that the game gives you that are maybe half as strong as a unit you trained up yourself.
How does it work is very vague. What do you want to know?
