Iwata interview...

[A Black Falcon]

Yes I have . In Final Fantasy 7, there is a "final move" enhancement materia that lets you use whatever materia is linked to it as an automatic counter upon that character's death. While a final attack is nice enough, just attach the life materia and you automatically bring yourself back to life when you die. For that matter, attach Phoenix and you bring the whole party back and deal fire damage upon death . It only works as many times as it's level is at though (I think it's highest level is 4).

Also, you've played WC3, so you should know the Tauren hero has an auto ressurect ability. Not really an RPG though, but it's an RTS with RPG elements.

WC3 is an RTS. That doesn't count. :) ... okay, so there is some games with auto-ressurect items. But I said spells, not items... :D Sure, it's a minor difference, but... I think I'm right in some respect. Auto-things might kick in but you can't cast spells after death. :)

I beat BG2. :( 2 1/2 weeks of 4-6 hours probably 6 days a week will do that, though... yeah, I got kind of addicted...
