Story Update:
Ok so I have this idea for a mechanic where every time you die, you get brought back to life. I know that sounds stupid since every game allows you to come back to life. You might say "just go back to your last save." However what I mean by "coming back to life" is there will be NPC's who react to your revival.
There's a good reason for why you come back to life as well. You can use an item called a "revive syringe." you can use this to revive your partner and yourself. However you don't use the item on yourself if you want to revive yourself. Every time you die, a certain someone will revive you.
I'm not sure If I'll do this but I also want some of the main characters to come back. For example if you kill someone important they might actively want to seek you out. Or maybe if a person who is part of a clan kills you, then when you come back to life and meet that person again, you'll notice that he's been promoted to a higher degree. Again, I'm not sure if I'll add this but I REALLY want to. I'll have to think about this a lot more before I implement it, because then I have to write some more for the main story.
