    Meme is more about looting but hear me out: I wish more fantasy RPGs used their own player conveniences as more than just player conveniences. Like, FF7's big "what the hell" moment when you can't just use a Phoenix Down on Aerith. Dragon's Dogma has spoiled me on this. You can revive any fallen named NPC if you have a wake stone. They even get put in a special room for you to visit if you forget their body long enough, so you can never lose a vital NPC while still having chaotic, emergent action with monsters rampaging through town.

    My headcanon is that when a character "dies" in battle, it actually means they are in critical condition, requiring more powerful healing magic or items to get them back on their feet. Of course, there are some exceptions. In Phantasy Star 2 and Cyber Knight the characters die for real and are replaced with clones.

      Phantasy Star 2 has a named NPC die and it has a weird excuse why you can't revive her at the clone labs, even though you could just fine up to that point. Also when everyone else was like "omg no character has died in an RPG before" youth me was sitting there like "is phantasy star a joke to you?"

          I think they said because she was a mutant, the clone lab won't work on her. All the other party members are humans. But like she's a mutant the whole time, and it only comes up when she plot-dies. (This is from memory, so I might be wrong.) It's a good game if you like old timey jrpgs. The dungeons are full on mazes.

            2 or 4? 4 Japanese was 2 in the US. 6 Japanese was 3 in the US. We actually got robbed of a couple of gems there. 2&5 were pretty good if the translation I found was accurate.

              Unfortunately, real life can be worse, sometimes before funerals are done kids start fighting over the family house and how the familial fortune will be spread.

                  BG3 only lets you use revivify on characters in your party. D&D says it only works on those who wish to return (player characters always have unfinished business) but some dead NPCs definitely had something to live for, but are screwed

                        Don't know about 5E but 3.5 at least allowed a fresh corpse to be brought to a cleric and revived for a fee, if your own party had no means of True Resurrection.

                            3.5 also allowed my druid to become a Master of Many Forms which is quite OP That game petered out, I wouldn't mind a one shot set in its future: that character and it's other overpowered party members aged and seeking a death in battle to trigger their contingent spells to reincarnate

                                You fucking grave robber... I went to Europe and I saw all the grave sites that were like really old and it was kind of interesting seeing other people's cultures and how they deal with their dead. But then at the same time I'm like I don't want a gravestone. I don't want a grave. I just want to be cremated and shot out of a cannon.

                                Do you have any nemesis? Nemesises? Nemesi? Whatever, enemies? It's much more satisfying to have your remains shot out of a cannon *at* someone you hate, than just all willy nilly like.

                                      Technically the first game you got was Mystic Quest, the half-parody FF For Dummies game. Except it was titled Mystic Quest Legend. Because Square already used Mystic Quest for Seiken Densetsu on Game Boy - released in the US as Final Fantasy Adventure. But it's not a Final Fantasy game; it's fucking Sword Of Mana. PAL regions did get Secret Of Mana by name, and later Legend Of Mana on PSX... not to be confused with The Final Fantasy Legend on Game Boy, which is actually SaGa.

                                        At my grandfathers wake his wife, wife's daughter (my mom) and his biological son, threw hands while trying to steal the rings off his hands and cross from his neck. Thank everything death is final and he never needs to find out.
