The game is able to create interesting and meaningful stories even when each chapter on its own isn't that long. Overall, the story is excellent, especially in the last chapter. This review won't focus on any particular chapter, but the game has a whole. Overall, if you have ever been curious about this game or are just looking for a fun RPG to get into then this game might just scratch that itch.Ģ7h 44m PlayedPros: Live A Live is a unique game with seven separate chapters. Imperial China, Present Day, Near Future, and the Wild West battle themes are all highlights to me (it's a real shame that the Western battle theme didn't get used much in the game). The soundtrack is pure bliss to listen to. The Distant Future felt more like an adventure game with the puzzle solving that an adventure game brings, it is trying to tell a plot and have the player get attached to the characters but the chapter has very little combat and it is actively discouraged from trying to fight as it will lead to a game over if the player tries to fight. Pre-Historic was just because of how low damage it is overall and a not really interesting plot to keep me engaged. The only two real boring chapters to playthrough was Pre-Historic and the Distant Future. Or the Imperial China chapter which sees you training three disciples with whichever one is chosen the most during training to have more levels and skills to use throughout the chapter. Each time period plays differently from one another, such as the Near Future chapter having the main character have psychokinesis and giving them the ability to read almost any npc's thoughts. The story structure in Live-A-Live is, from what I can recall, very unique as there are seven chapters that span across different time periods. I had gone into this completely blind minus what was shown in the initial reveal, and the idea of playing across different time periods (The wild west catching my eye back when I learned about the game). Until it was announced that it was going to get a HD-2D remake for the switch, I was already sold on the game, day one. Time would go on without me playing the game, and hearing it brought up every now and again.

The only problem being that this game was never released in North America, and I barely knew how to have an emulator working at the time let alone add a translation to the game files (if one even existed at the time). 17h 45m PlayedI have personally heard of this game since 2007, as I had always heard about this game from videos talking about what classic Super Nintendo games that you should have played.
