I've heard that in the Fire Emblem series, there is something called PermaDeath. Is that Permanent Death? If it is, can it be turned off?

Yes, it's called Casual Mode, and you can choose whether to play through the game with it or not.
895406
Yes, permadeath is permanent death. The option to turn off permadeath is actually something unique to this particular fire emblem game. Previous fire emblem games don't have this option.
895407
Yes, permadeath is the unique option where, if activated, when a character dies they're gone for good. This is an option offered at the beginning of each game (it will ask what difficulty level you want and then ask if you want the permadeath option. In your case, you would choose "no") but the choice cannot be changed later on.

Yes, there's Classic Mode and Casual Mode - classic mode: a character of your's dies then he cannot be used for the rest of the game. casual mode: a character of your's dies but will be available after the level is over.I know it's tempting to keep your characters and play Casual, but it discourages true strategy when you don't care if someone dies or not. But hey, the wheel weaves as the wheel wills

No. It's boring and annoying. What could have been a fun and immersive experience is bogged down by necessary game scenarios (hit three switches) and after the monster finds you and kills you a few times, the game turns from scary to annoying and frustrating. The fact that you have no weapons to fend yourself off makes things scary at first, but eventually becomes just lame because only being able to run pads out the game since you have to retrace your steps again once a chase is over. It wasn't fun at all and I never finished it.

Not true that would make the game unplayable since it would not be able to play,for the resstrictions.the game would have to be designed this way to prevent blood from appearing.my game spils blood all around.

You don't have to read to much but to really understand the plot behind the game you do need to read some texts. But most of the time there are cut scenes that explain what is going on. As for the dying in this game. If there are two players then as long as both don't die then your good. If its single player than its a little tougher but if you do die you respawn at the same place you died in. So it's hard yet easy at the same time. It does take some thinking to defeat the enemies. Also this game makes a difference in co-op so I would recommend that your kid has someone to play with. Hope this helped.

There is no way to pause the game. However, you can quit out at any time and the game will exactly save your progress.

I have known every game I play that when the batteries die the game does not pause. Which, in Dark Souls case, is very inconvenient.

Hello, i'm not sure about that,i would access Excalibur's site to find out for sure. If you shoot the wrong arrows you could blow the limbs,you don't want that to happen! Sorry i couldn't be more helpful.

Hello as a 20 year old playing it I can say there isnt that much. You kill animals for meats/clothing and you kill the bad guys so they dont kill you and you have to slay the dragon. There is no actual blood splatters or anything when you are killing those things they just turn red. Its really not that bad and i promise you im not just saying that. My mom even lets my brother who just turned 6 year old play it. I think this is perfectly fine to let your kids play :)

Cant remember the amount of hours. Probably 9-10 hours or so, although I like to explore all areas of the map and kill everything possible. I do remember it being somewhat of a challenge (in an enjoyable way) on the regular setting.

As far as I understand you need to register it with a game but after that first contact I suppose you can forgo the game, but then why have the pokewalker? It's whole purpose is to interact with the game and get you Pokemon and items, some of them only found in the pokewalker.

What about games with password saves(like Gauntlet 4)? Instead of battery saves?(which obvious don't work like Sonic 3). What if the cartridge still has a good battery in it? I understand the 40 Genesis games within the system won't save... but you can't save Cart games with a battery? or a password feature?

You can't. You can still walk it of course but not more island building. You have to start a new game if you want to start building the island all over again. And, you can only do that 6 times. I usually finish an island and then just walk it for 3-6 months (and get rid of every song under 150 beats per minute) and then start another game.

I have not played any other Fire Emblem games. This game is my favorite of all DS games because it is not childish, has adult voices, wonderful storyline and great interaction between characters. I intend to play it over again, making different choices of character pair-ups, strengthening more characters. It is an intelligent, well written game.

I don't know - I thought it was permanent!! But if you find out, let me know! arlerose@aol.com

This series doesn't take itself quite as seriously as final fantasy does. I would say that besides ff7, ff6, and ff9 this game was much more enjoyable than the rest. I have played through it twice and each time racked up over 100 hours. Give it a try

Unfortunately to my knowledge there is no option to turn off blood and gore, however the worst thing that will be witnessed is a 2 second scene that occurs when a Titan crushes a pilot. All you see during this move is a misty red cloud. Aside from that the game is actually pretty clean.

I don't think that shall be considered as satanic/demonic based on any type of religion... it has a lot of gore and it's about sisters being hunted by other sister... I would consider this game more like a type of adult anime... definitely is not for kids.Cheers!
