 live a live just came out on july 22! again after it came out on the super famicom like 28 years ago!! 'what is live a live', you might ask? good question! live a live is basically a rpg (made by square) with grid based combat, wherein you play as one of eight characters in their own little mini scenarios, from the wild west to prehistory to imperial china. you can play them in any order minus the last person, who is only unlocked after beating the other stories. also the music is incredibly good, having been done by the Legend Yoko Shimomura, being her first project at square after leaving capcom! this remake for the switch boasts fancy pants hd-2d graphics, a redone ost (supervised by shimomura), voice acting, little atb bars under characters, and for the first time is actually getting released worldwide! if you wanted to play the original version you had to either know how to read japanese or you played the fan tl that came out a while ago. for the remake there was a ton of sweet new art made just for it (though the original game had different artists for the chapters minus the unlockable one) and also a bunch of trailers too! also  there is a demo that lets you play a little bit of a few scenarios and your progress will carry over to the full game!! additionally, undertale/homestuck/halloween hack fans might tangentially recognize the boss theme of this game, "megalomania", as being the inspiration for toby fox's "megalovania" after he couldn't jam it into the halloween hack  personally i've only played part of the wrestler chapter and some of the mecha chapter before stopping back a few years ago in a emulator, so im excited to play the remake!  https://twitter.com/LAL_PROM/status/1550133501415997441 edit: hey guess what its coming to steam and ps4/5 now too!! https://twitter.com/LAL_PROM/status/1641366743019839493 Booky fucked around with this message at 07:19 on Apr 20, 2023 |
