>>your only option is to spam defend with the characters that have the lowest armor and pray
No, you have many options, from formations to spells or just simply blitzing things before they can do anything, let alone LP potions if things get too dire, but as you get better and better at the game you'll need them less and less since you'll be able to prevent danger altogether.
>Amazing tactical gameplay!
So you're complaining you cannot absolutely dominate everything and there's always a degree risk involved, sounds like a good RPG and not a rps game to me.
Weren't you complaining that these games were too forgiving though? Seems to me they aren't if you're that butthurt about losing LP and incurring into character death.
>Sounds like someone never played Fire Emblem.
So you're not only that dishonest to compare a roguelike (One character, you die, restart from the beginning) to FE (Multiple character, the MC or party member/npc in the rare special mission of the week dies, you restart from your save file), you're pretending fucking FE, one of the most braindead SRPG series to date is even remotely on the same level of something like Angband or Nethack.
SaGa games also have a reset if your MC incurs into LP death, SMT also have a reset if your MC dies, on top of the fact that it's also easy to get a full wipe in both of these, but apparently, FE is better because there's also functional permadeath in there despite the vastly easier general difficulty.
Though it's funny you complain about RS2 enemies ganking on a character but do not complain about FE's notorious RNG.
>It's a gimmick that's just there for the sake of producing anxiety over nothing.
But character death in FE isn't?
You do know 90% of the things that make games difficult are literally made to induce anxiety over nothing?
If your argument is that you can prevent any single loss by reloading then pretty much no game is immune to this absurd claim, especially RPGs

He doesn't want to have any serious discussion, he just wants your attention.

>muh bait and switch POLITICS plots with demons
The more I read people's opinions on stories and writing in videogames the more I think people just want longwinded south american soap operas.

>I believe you mean the translation sucked.
No, because I also played the game in japanese, and no terrible translations changes the fact that the writing is conceptually and structurally horrible, decent prose doesn't make a nonsensical plot, discount philosophy or trivialized morcels of jungian psychoanalysis any better, let alone the complete disappearance of key cast members from the script, nonsensical paradoxes and schizophrenic characterization, especially in a game that is 80% cutscenes, 10% gameplay and 10% loading times.
So quite bitching about errors in the translations such as Gebler or "You're not my pops", they don't change the fact that the core writing is pretentious, inane tripe made by someone who's only vaguely familiar with the topics he tried to portray and largely put them in the story because it was the hip thing to do.

>Can't kill the slimes in one go

Yeah, no, I'm getting magic hax and going full gun/wrassling, I've had enough of getting cockblocked by shield/deflect five times in a row, and those fucking slimes...Never thought I'd have to grind for stats this much in a solo run in Frontier.
