Well, this is sorta the problem with casual mode, it changes the way you play. Normally, you're punished for losing a unit by either having to go through the rest of the game without them, or reset the map. In casual mode, these consequences have vanished, and you can utilise strategies that would otherwise be dangerous. I don't really have a huge problem with casual mode, but it seems redundant. I don't think it adds much to the gameplay except accessibility, which can often prove detrimental.

Except, you just reset the map, so the only consequence as such is the external loss of the player's time. If you don't reset, sure, but how many people don't reset in a serious run?
I love the idea, but as I said, it would need to be enforced (by auto-saving and not allowing resets) to really ensure it actually functions as intended. Of course, in Fire Emblem, not allowing resets isn't really viable (especially since you go through a forced reset if a Lord dies anyways, and the game is far too long and story-focused to just have files deleted upon Lord death lol).
Obviously, if you're going for a perfect run or are willing to force yourself to not save scum, the classic system works fine.
