What's the deal with this game? Just had my file ruined about 8 hours in for... using a game mechanic that you are actively encouraged to use. This is bullshit. The game says the entire point of your mission is to sacrifice your teammates but, if you do, you get locked into a very early and very bad ending. This is the most unfair thing in video game history.

Eat actual shit.
is it worse than Valkyrie Profile Ending B or trying to get its A Ending?

no, it's dumb. I guess now looking back that those tough enemies could've been killed by properly chaining attacks together, getting lots of finishers in, but at the time I definitely did not have that option. I usually couldn't build the gauge for a finisher. This might have been because I sacrificed the archer girl too early, who knows. Either way there are some levels where, if you don't have a certain party or equipment setup, you can't win without using the plume.
Do you talk to you're mother with that mouth?
To get the best ending you have to not sacrifice a single one of your comrades, who are only able to be sacrificed with a super mode power up that ensures a battle victory once the story considers them a close enough friend to justify it. Problem is that the game attempts to corral you hard into making sure you can't avoid at least one sacrifice because the enemies are often radically overpowered and your party members are initially woefully underpowered. NG+ after destroying your runs is all but a necessity and the official strategy guide itself basically goes "yeah nah this is impossible on a first run." Nevermind that the A path takes almost all the worst case options in each arc besides stopping the most absolute worst case scenario in the plot, but handwaves it with a "you let go of your self-destructive, suicidal and ultimately pointless vengeance" plot wrapup.
That's the way the game's designed to be played, not unlike intentionally ruining your save in Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter to unlock more cutscenes and have more Party EXP / D-Rank for the next run, but in CotP's case you have to beat the fucking game and get a shitty ending for another chance.
My mom taught me to swear, you dense, shit covered, mouth breathing waste of vaginal discharge.
Your mum taught me to fuck
I wouldn't be surprised, she has a thing for 12 year olds.
I used it on the final battle, no consequences. :)
