It’s like if you win the game, it’s a win-win situation altogether, however, if you get defeated once in the battle, you lose permanently. All the Fire Emblem series are similar to Final Fantasy sequences, but some were with individual differences. Some series are a sequel to others, but most of them have unique characters, new stories and a few alterations in mechanics to make it easier.
