Message: [QUOTE="Leon, post: 45745, member: 2240"] From my understanding a part of this was actually influenced by the rental market in most of the world at the time, i have heard this is directly the reason why alot of western games were harder than their japanese counterparts, battletoads for example. That said my thoughts on "death penalty" is that it depends on the game, some games it just makes sense to penalize the player for failure, while others it's more a detriment than a benefit, this is why death became less of a permanent penalty in jrpg's probably first, usually becoming a monetary one.
