I do hope we see at least one major character die and stay dead. Until that happens we can safely assume that every leader figure and prominent Scion will just survive everything...and that unfortunately means that secondary characters will continue to be at risk of being built up and then killed off instead. It's possible that Minfilia isn't dead but it's left so vague that it's equally as likely that we'll eventually save her and that she'll be brought back into the plot.

I'd be less bothered by it if the injuries that major characters sustain were meaningful and impacting but...Raubahn, Thancred and Y'shtola seem to just rise above everything. Heck, Nanamo being left sickly and weak after the poison would have been interesting but she's perfectly fine as well.

To their credit Aymeric's injury was lasting - though I didn't like how he got thrown around by Raubahn. The developers do seem to listen to feedback too so hopefully the stakes will be higher in 4.0.
