Fire Emblem's Casual Difficulty Nearly Didn't Make The Cut

[Church185]

Some games are defined by their crushing difficulty. Dark Souls, for example

Why do people act like Dark Souls is a stand alone game without a prequel? You know, Demons Souls came out first.

Because Dark Souls was multiplatform (meaning it has a larger player base) and came out more recently. Also, Demons Souls wasn't a prequel to Dark Souls. Dark Souls was it's "spiritual successor" due to Sony having exclusive rights to Demons Souls.

To be fair to the "Hardcorites" I can see how the Permadeath can add a lot of drama to the battles without scripted events, having characters simply "leave the battlefield" does lack a bit of punch and consequence. But at the same time when I'm still "figuring" out the game I'm glad I don't have to reload every time I lose a character.
