I vote for a start in Asia. We need skilled officers and decent upgrades ASAP!

And it would have an obligatory mission where you shoot Hitler, changing absolutely nothing for some reason.
Hitler decoy. Either you shot the decoy, or the Nazi government claimed you shot a decoy and brought out a replacement.

Bah. First character died because a njerp-whatever camp was less than a screen away on the map. They found and killed me in my sleep after less than a week.

I found a website where you can purchase usage rights to the article. Other than that...
My small-town college apparently isn't important enough to have access to articles like those xD

Yeah, I've noticed people with claimed gaydar are incapable of picking out any gays who aren't walking around flapping their wrists and asking if the jeans they're wearing make their butts look big.
This. It's more sterotype-dar.

Indeed. I didn't show it, but I grinded for Brawly a bit by fishing Machop and the occasional Sunflora.

Area-Unique 1-1 Substitutions. Each floor of a cave, for instance, counts as a new map and will have a different Goddamn Bat for me to deal with :P

I assume the same applies to fishing and surfing.

I'd call AZS an RTS title because you're usually commanding several different elements at once, and the strategy is more important than anything.

Then again, you do the same in FTL and you basically do the same thing...

Hey, Brawly's other two Pokemon were tough enough as it was :P

I'm not sure about the Old Rod catching anything else. I haven't fished anywhere other than Dewford so far, but I suppose I can try fishing in some of the towns to see if I can get anything else.

Reloading after a character dies isn't optimal or suboptimal, it's wanting to ensure everyone survives. And unless you're playing on an emulator with save states, most of the FE games I've played only let you save in between battles, so if you lose someone near the end you have to make a hard choice between restarting the entire thing or losing a unique and possibly valuable member of the cause.

I've always enjoyed playing with perma-death.  In X-Com for example, I love that i can enable setting so even if I want to, I can't save some one who is dead.
X-COM is different though, since everyone starts out as faceless mooks and you can always get more. In games like FE, every character you recruit is unique and irreplaceable.

I do play a lot of games with perma-death rules, but I can't seem to bring myself to do it in Fire Emblem :P

I doubt it's gonna be worked on any more, to be honest. They already have their major project to work on and Receiver was basically done as a weekend challenge, IIRC.

Hopefully it'll be something for the two of you to laugh about later.
