LIVE A LIVE

Recommended, the most reluctant thumbs up I will ever give. I bought this game. That was my first mistake. My second was the sunk cost fallacy chaining me to it like a medieval prisoner who paid for his own shackles. The pacing is what I imagine purgatory feels like. Every 30 minutes of grinding earns you about 5 glorious minutes of actual content. It's basically a slot machine, except instead of money you're gambling with the only non-renewable resource you have: time. The characters walk at the speed of someone who just had hip surgery. I assume this is a deliberate gameplay disadvantage. I aged visibly. Would I play it again? I'd rather reread my old text messages. But, and this hurts to admit, the final chapters were actually phenomenal. The kind of good that retroactively makes you mutter "...okay, fine." It's like being stuck in an elevator with someone for 40 hours and on hour 39 they finally tell a great joke. So here we are. Thumbs up. Against my better judgment. Against my will, even.

This game sucks. I am left a broken and changed man. I now have to carry the burden of this game occupying space in my brain. I have to carry the burden of telling everyone I know to experience this game in one way or another for the rest of my life without being able to tell them exactly why. It's one of those things that is better to experience knowing as little as possible. What am I supposed to say about a game who's strongest selling points are better off left as surprises? I hate this game. It's the best game I've ever played in my life. It's the utilizing of video games as a medium for storytelling of all time; the fact this originally came out in 1994 just makes it all the more impressive. You also realize just how much this game has influenced other games you've probably played before; LIVE A LIVE is everywhere for those who can see it. It's not just a recommendation - it's required reading for those who enjoy more unique rpgs. Why did my friend gift me this game. I am a victim of psychological torment. ♥♥♥♥ this game. I love this game. Please play it.

This game is divided on several chapters, each set up in a distinct time period/setting and telling its own separate story, with final chapter uniting them all. Each mini story has easily recognizable plot - you ether already read such story or watched a film or played a game - its like a short love letter for common tropes. While not all of those chapters are equally good (Twilight Japan chapter is longer and has much more stuff than others, while Present Day is super short and barebones), they are all enjoyable and engaging. Special shoutout for Prehistoric chapter for telling a story without anybody speaking even once. Each chapter is short which make it seem like the game itself is short - but by the time I reached a finale I've got solid 50 hours of playtime. Graphics are surprisingly beautiful - not something I expected to say about a remaster of a SNES game. Music is also very good. My one gripe is what a game overall is a bit too easy - combat system is interesting but there is almost no challenge outside of a very few optional bosses. The price is a bit steep for a remaster......but in this case its kinda worth it even at full price. It is a beautiful game

为数不多关键章节剧情大崩但又很喜欢的日式RPG了。 想玩是因为打算认识一下那位可能本人比作品都火的史克威尔恶女，不过见到她之前是得下不少功夫。前面七个独篇制作不一，有很讨厌的也有比较触动的，由于特殊的叙事结构导致很容易几句话就剧透，那就每个篇章都浅浅感触一下吧！顺便取名环节还是DIY了一堆我觉得叫这个很贴切的。 【原始篇】野人叫艾拉//打酱油剧情//玩彩蛋（明显看出来的有2001太空漫游、上帝也疯狂） 【功夫篇】流派叫神匠拳//打完这章总是想到王家卫说的念念不忘必有回响，过去的歌已唱罢多年了，回声才从山谷尽头遥遥传来，在夕阳下的冲拳逐渐厉厉生风，当年陪你练拳的人不在了。 【幕末篇】忍者叫司狼神威//各种迷路//大河剧//焚尽了天下千年烈火、幽冥白头初逢春... 【西部篇】牛仔叫史派克//最棒的音乐//全篇neta黄昏双镖客 【现代篇】拳手叫金家潘//无剧情//敷衍 【近未来篇】少年叫赤异秋//各种致敬魔神Z和机动警察//剧情二爆了，制作人玩嗨了 【SF篇】机器人叫塔克林//太空狼人杀//异形加太空漫游，我很喜欢 打完就进中世篇了，花了两小时篇幅讲了一个DQ的故事，然后得见重要环节。因为篇幅不够加上缺乏像素想象力导致演出非常尬，恶女的那系列骚操作如果放在一个完整故事里，例如圣龙传说，是不可饶恕的，但是对一个两小时的故事来说就显得完全是不生气的好笑，可能也有这章暗雷太便秘导致侮辱智商的剧情有种活跃气氛的诙谐感的缘故。 最终篇真是爱恨交织，恨的都是一些浪费时间的设计缺陷。比如完全不够现代化的战斗无加速，每回都要硬等超长播片与JRPG特有的回合之间要愣两秒，再比如多得无以复加的巨量暗雷。这章有相当多的时间在摸每个角色的地牢，机器人专属的智之地牢真的很有意思，但是忍者的钥之地牢里面要求随机踩雷击败特定敌人才能拿到每扇门的钥匙，遇不到特定敌人只能硬打反复刷或者逃跑。又因为队伍里带了近未来篇的主角，每场逃跑都会变成传送，在如此盘根错节的一个迷宫里使用传送会中途切入近未来主角的心之地牢，两层最繁复的迷宫套在一起让体验变得很差，结合之前说战斗不能加速，这一个小时真的玩的很痛苦。 但是真结局设计得非常好，游玩过程中心里都在喊做得好漂亮，那种每个人都参与战斗的感觉真的很棒，大有为了这碟醋拿整整九个篇章包饺子的意思，同时也能看到每个人回到各自时空的后续，很美。如果打算玩，找齐七个人打真结局和不打真结局的游戏评价可能截然不同，记得一定要打。 最后只剩一个想法了。或许剧本演出和音乐，三者满足两个就够用了。时空勇士重制是这样一部神奇的游戏，有很难接受的设计与致命到令人忍俊不禁的剧情桥段，但是翻过山越过岭，对旅途有所感悟过后，“友情”与“热血”突然登场，音乐徐徐升起，还是难以克制被卷入日式RPG独一份的感动中。 至于什么史克威尔三大恶女，事已至此，就随他去吧。

まず、前提としてクリアまでにUE Fatal Errorエラーによる強制終了が10回弱発生。 OSがフリーズするようなクラッシュの仕方をするのでPCへのダメージが心配になります。 また、当然ゲームの進行も巻き戻るのでゲームのテンポの悪さと相まって進めるのが苦痛でした。 昔のゲームと同じ体験を新しいグラフィックで作り直しているのはいいところ。 BGMも良曲が揃っています。 一方でRPGとしてはパズル的なバトルと関係して、装備集めや育成の価値は低く、やりこみのモチベーションにはつながりにくい。 バトル、ストーリー演出のテンポの悪さもやりこみには向かないように思いました。 雑魚敵が十数体も出てきたら全体攻撃入れたくなるけど、撃ったら最後、延々と反撃の演出を見続けることになったりします。 いろいろと判断に必要な情報表示がたりないのも直しておくべきポイントですね。 ストーリー面は原作準拠なのでなつかしさを感じながらプレイするには良く、新規プレイだと物足りなさを感じそうな作品です。

[h1] Live A Live is peak [/h1] This literally has to be my favorite JRPG of all time. Like... I am so awed by the approach Square Enix took here. I love the stories from each timeline, as well as the part where they bring them all together for a grand finale. What saddens me is that this game was originally released only in Japan in 1994. Thank goodness they made a remaster to spread it worldwide. W Square Enix W Game W Everything about it

It blows my mind LIVE A LIVE is originally from 1994. It often subverts expectations in ways I wouldn't expect from games in this era. This game is ambitious, delightfully weird, and was ahead of its time in terms of storytelling. You can definitely see the influence this game had on games like Undertale and Octopath Traveler (and many others honestly).

O que dizer de Live a Live? Uma obra prima que ficou muito tempo no Japão e no ocidente só era possivel jogar atraves de emulador. Vamos para os pós e contras Prós: -Jogo extremamente divertido, ele não é repetitivo e cada capitulo tem uma dinamica diferente, Uma hora você esta caçando em uma tribo de homens das cavernas, outra hora você ta pilotando um robô gigante, outra hora você está vivendo uma mistura de 2001 uma Odisseia no Espaço com Alien. -Trilha sonora impecável, Yoko Shimomura não erra uma. -Graficos Lindos, dignos de um remake. -Sistema de batalha bem dinamico. Não é só escolher o ataque mas montar estratégias com seu time -Da para fazer 100% quase que em uma Run. Cons: -Meio caro, pegue durante uma promoção . -A Localização em inglês está muito estranha em alguns momentos. O Pogo por exemplo diz "あいいい" ("Ai" que é amor em japones) e na versão inglesa só fizeram ele dar um grito meio que nada a ver. Na versão japonesa podemos concluir que "Amor" foi a primeira palavra que a humanidade disse. Não só isso mas na parte da idade media tentaram deixar de um jeito meio que Shakespeareano sendo que no japonês os personagens falam normalmente. Se houver uma tradução em PT-BR espero que usem os dialogos japoneses como base. -Infelizmente é um jogo meio que cult então não tem amiguinhos para conversar sobre Honestamente eu não imaginava que a Square se importasse com Live a Live a ponto de fazer esse trabalho magnifico. MUST BUY se você é fã de JRPG

i really enjoyed this. each of the stories felt unique, not only plot and character wise but also in their exploration and combat which was so cool. i can definitely see how this game has inspired current jrpgs like octopath traveller. in turn, octopath has influenced this remake in terms of art style and i absolutely love the pixel 2.5D or whatever they call it. i think that this style should be how modern remakes of older pixel games should be done tbh.

6/10 - A very unique JRPG, to say the least. But not really for me - I'm a fan of large overarching stories, and this felt more like different mini games. A lot of cool ideas, but I don't think it excels in anything.
