Desu it really bothers me how the first two games have this overarching feeling of "nature can be cold and cruel just as much as it can be beautiful" where you can lose your whole squad in the blink of an eye if you're not careful and there's this general sense of melancholy and isolation, then 3 and 4 just give you a ton of captains and make the enemies way less lethal. If you play them all one after another it's fucking jarring.
