Whether they're remakes or original.LIVE A LIVE, originally only released for the Super Famicom in Japan, is being revived on Nintendo Switch! Experience this legendary RPG for the first time in the west, brought alive in the same HD-2D visual style as OCTOPATH TRAVELER and TRIANGLE STRATEGY. Which was why I was somewhat disappointed that there weren't really any interactions between them all in the final chapter, though for a SNES game that was originally released in 1994 I suppose that's understandable.I hope with Live A Live, and Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy previously, we get more games in the 2.5 HD style. Although all of the character scenarios play on classic tropes and clichés (Cube's scenario especially will give you strong ALIEN and 2001: A Space Odyssey vibes) it is all done very well and I enjoyed spending time with every protagonist. Could've used more character interactions and story moments.FINAL SCORE:8/10, Live A Live is a fun, classic JRPG that reminds me positively of Chrono Trigger and the older Final Fantasy games.
