Great game but very convaluted on many things. I don't recommend starting on Edo lol. Style and music are top notch. Battle system is a take on grid based stray game. Issue is it isn't clear on who's next. Sometimes I feel like it's random when an enemy gets a turn

This game harkens back to when Square received worldwide favor for their quality graphics, music and story telling in their games. Live A Live (rhymes with hive) proves Square has the potential to bring their old school SNES era JRPG’s into the spotlight for gamers that may have missed out to enjoy. You get to choose the order you play each short story that focuses on a particular character. Each character is unique and complete with their own personality as well as moveset. Without spoiling the story, everything coalesces into a very memorable and unique story about saving the world from evil. If you enjoy JRPG’s with solid music, writing and gameplay then you need to play Live A Live.

I'm a avid RPG fan but this surpassed my expectation that I won't spoil the stories but you have to play yourself to find out. This has multiple story line to complete and they are not repetitive like majority of the RPG out now. Each one is unique than the previous making you want to finish it rather than putting it down. Looks even better on the OLED switch.

This game was really fun. Each scenario sees you playing with unique characters and each their own stories. The chapters aren't very long so its perfect for people who cannot dedicate time for long playthroughs. The stories are interesting and can play completely differently, so it keeps it fresh. The graphics and music are beautiful. For any RPG fan this is a must buy. For newcomers, its great too and welcoming.
