You can follow the quotes within to find the other times the same subject arose.
I'm pointing out that your disagreement with the notion that "a story doesn't need death to be interesting" itself is interesting because of your comment from just the other day that FFXII is your favorite FF game and you completely avoided the topic by linking to your own post from a few months ago that is just a collection of your own quotes.

That very same game has fake-out deaths for major characters like you had just complained about and all but 2 minor "protagonist-aligned" characters survive the main course of the game. It's almost as if the quality of a story is independent of the death count and stakes can exist without having to prove that the stakes are high by having someone die.
