The prospect of a sequel to Live A Live is obviously just a personal hope of Takashi Tokita at this point, but it's still nice to know the director would be game for a follow-up. A long-lost 1994 JRPG being revived for another go by a huge developer was fantastic news for audiences and game preservationists, breathing new life into Live A Live. The JRPG was never localized for a Western release however, and given that it was released during the arguable 'golden years' of Square Enix JRPGs, it's maintained a cult-like following for decades now.Ģ022's remake introduced Live A Live not only to a Western audience that could never play the original back in the day, but also a brand new modern audience.
Live A Live originally launched in 1994 for the Super Famicom in Japan.
Apparently there are also "hidden secrets" in the remake, according to an enthusiastic response from the director. The plot remains the same as the original.Elsewhere in the new video, Tokita reveals there aren't new endings in the Live A Live remake, but the remake is fully compatible with Valve's Steam Deck. Battles are triggered differently for each scenario some are random encounters, some have enemy sprites which can be avoided, while others are entirely scripted. With the exception of one scenario, the player character navigates themed environments, ranging from the overworld area to dungeon environments. While each narrative has the same basic mechanics, individual stories have unique gimmicks these include the use of stealth, a lack of standard battles, or using telepathy to learn new facts to progress the narrative. Live A Live is a role-playing video game in which the player takes on the role of eight different protagonists through nine scenarios. In addition to the upgraded visuals, each of the characters is now voiced in Japanese and English. It features eight playable heroes with their own story and playstyle.
It is a remake of the Japan exclusive 1994 RPG in the HD-2D style that originated with Octopath Traveler. Romaji: Raibu A Raibu) is a role-playing game from Square Enix for the Nintendo Switch releasing on July 22, 2022.
