Line 286:
* In a subversion, if you destroy [[Video Game/Levels/Awesome|Cradle 03]] in ''[[Armored Core|Armored Core For Answer]]'', the [[Mission Control|other]] [[Big Bad|characters]] [[The Dragon|WILL]] [[Face Heel Turn|care about]] [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|your mass]] [[Complete Monster|slaughter]]. And then you get the [[Scrappy Level]] as [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment]].
** Of course, no one seems to care about the countless lives you take when you destroy Arms Forts, like Spirit of Motherwill, or the countless Line Ark citizens who die because you blew up the Megalis power plant, that provides energy for their Phlebotium-Clearing Air Purifiers....
* ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'' has {{spoiler|Isara's}} death being a major blow to all the main characters, who mope about it until the end of the game. On the other hand, [[Player MooksMook|your regular soldiers]] don't get that treatment, apart from a single last sentence as they fade away. And that's not even taking allied and enemy soldiers into account...
** The point is moot. [[No True Scotsman|A REAL Valkyria Chronicles player]] would never allow one of their soldiers to perish, no matter how many times they may need to repeat the level in order to complete it without casualties.
** This is only the beginning. ''The entire Gallian army'' gets vaporized at one point, and ''no one'' has anything to say about the thousands of lives that were just snuffed out; the main characters' primary reaction is, "Holy shit, what a huge explosion-- can Alicia do that!?"
