Missing part of Letter LIVE

Dying in cutscene = RIP
Dying in actual combat = Fell down and can't get back up

There are notable deaths in other games that work the same way.

I actually hate that mechanic, especially if it isn't even death directly.

FFX, when you invade Bevelle, you cut through like 10+ enemies all wielding guns,, but then you reach the top and it's a cut scene where they point guns at you so you can't do anything

Death being treated differently in cutscenes is stupid, but what do you want? For no one to ever die, and nothing to ever threaten you since you're overleveled? That would be pretty limiting to the story.

There are some RPGs, like Arcana for SNES, where any (human) in the party dying is an immediate game over. That's one solution, albeit one that wouldn't work in an MMO.
