Boy, it would probably be easier to list all of the survivors than all of the characters I lost. Besides obviously the main Lords, Ephraim and Eirika, I also kept Seth... Duessel and, um... that dancing girl whose name I forgot, and... I don't remember who else survived... or least not their names, of which there were only a few others. I'd need to look them up to remember. This game had so many rather confusing names. How do you even pronounce names like L'Arachel(sp?) or even Eirika?
Yeah, I guess for the most part, I simply just moved on whenever a unit fell. But that was mostly just due more to laziness on my part than anything else. *scratches back of head* Kinda reminds me of when a co-worker once recommended I play XCOM: Enemy Unknown, he suggested I not restart a mission when any of my units died in battle, to add to the tension of every move I made each turn (which didn't turn out well in the end). I guess that's what I did here, save one chapter. Lol.
I'll look forward to Ephraim's route with more caution, then... and see that infamous Phantom Ship chapter for myself. Perhaps I won't raise the difficulty setting until another playthrough afterward...

Hope you enjoy Ephraim's route when you get to it, just letting you know it's a bit more difficult, a lot of people didn't like the Phantom Ship chapter either (though I thought it was fun imo).
