so it's not so much a matter of him dying and then later coming back, or of him dying and it later being retconned. From the way you describe it, and from what I can tell reading up, it was a case of his fate being left unsure, only for the true ending to reveal that, against the thoughts of many, he actually survived. That's an entire trope to itself, really. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NoOneCouldSurviveThat that article actually features a DIFFERENT fakeout death from that same game, go figure
so I think I'm gonna veto that one
