And seriously people dying in 2 was even worse. From the beggining you get the party of 3+1, the last one being the cursed guest character that will sooner or later die, and you keep getting more and more cannonfodder for that spot, one of the suckiest occupations in a game.
I only remember Mindu and Josef as the only playable characters who died in FF2.
