What Is Nintendo Switch's Live A Live (& How Do You Pronounce It)
The February 2022 Nintendo Direct featured an announcement for a game called Live A Live, which is an upcoming JRPG that uses the same HD-2D visuals as Octopath Traveler. The Direct was great for old-school JRPG fans, as Live A Live was a game that was originally released for the Super Famicom in 1994, but it never left Japan. It has been possible for international fans to play the game using a fan translation patch, but the upcoming Switch release will be the first official way most people can play the game.
Live A Live is an RPG that is broken up into different stories, with the player controlling a different character at various points in history. These include a caveman, a martial arts master in China, a ninja, a cowboy, a mixed martial artist, a psychic, and a robot. It soon becomes apparent that there is something connecting all of these different chapters, as each one involves a foe called Odio. Once all of the chapters are completed, a new chapter opens up, which holds the answers to the story. In recent years, Live A Live became known for inspiring «Megalavonia» from Undertale, as it features a similar song called «Megalomania». Undertale creator Toby Fox hinted that «Megalomania» and a song called «Gadobadorrer» from Brandish 2 were inspirations for «Megalovania.» The battles in Live A Live take place on a grid, with attacks targeting different squares, which means positioning is the key to victory. Not all of the chapters involve combat, as some of them feature stealth sections and puzzles to complete.
