The medieval story hurt to play cause of all the horrible shit that happens
Did you get the sad ending on purpose too?
Joshua Sanchez
Heard of it, haven't played it.
Sell it to me user.
Jaxon Gutierrez
>is a jrpg
Landon Lee
It's good
William Moore
It never saw international release. That's pretty much it.
Noah Baker
I tried the western story first and the game kicked my ass
Kayden Moore
Sold. What emulator do I use though? ZSNES or is a better one?
John Reed
>implying it wasn't the best chapter
Jayden Ortiz
The final boss and the final boss theme is so fucking good. Thank god for Yoko Shimomura.
I swear they were inspired by spaghetti westerns, especially clint eastwood ones.
Eli Bell
zsnes is fine unless you're autistic enough to care that some of the sound doesn't glitch EXACTLY the same way it would on real hardware, in which case you can use bsnes
Austin Jones
Anthony Sullivan
I really like how chapters aren't just re-skins.
>ninja chapter
You can do a no-kill stealth run for the best weapon.
>martial arts master
Get to train your students over the course of the chapter.
>robot chapter
ENTIRE FUCKING CHAPTER
Jason James
Snes9x is the best snes emulator
Gavin Collins
future chapter is such garbage. you literally just walk from dialog scene to dialog scene until you trigger the final battle.
fuckin great game though.
Nathaniel Morales
>mfw psychic
Cooper Moore
Yeah, pretty amazing game. A game like this would never be made today - and I say that not because "a bloo bloo" games today are shit, but just how different it is from anything that came before or after. A real gem.
Ian Thompson
Easton Parker
>all those methods to set up traps to make your showdown with the Crazy Bunch easier or harder
>it's entirely possible with enough luck to defeat every last member should you decide not to use traps
Oliver Evans
Agreed. It reminds me of the tagline for cowboy bebop about being a new genre due to fusing a bunch of prexisting ones. Bit like this game how it fuses all of them together.
Grayson Lopez

Suddenly, you're learning moves left and right to survive.

James Morgan
Normally I don't recommend let's plays but McGammar arguably did the best let's play for it. Completes everything and offers actual good commentary.
Thomas Cook
The game may be underrated, but seeing this thread feels good man
Logan Peterson
She IS the best numerical choice, though. Common mistake people commit is spreading the training between all three students.
>dat feel when your student unleashes the secret move on the villain at the end
Joshua Thomas
Ian Walker
ZSNES is shit since more than 7 years ago.
Use Snes9x
Jonathan Rivera
This. This let's play got me into the game to begin with.
Aaron Clark
This. As someone said a long time ago, game would probably be treated as a classic at this point had it been released worldwide.
Sebastian Edwards
>dat feel when he's been gone for five years
And I agree, definitely the best LP of the game.
Hunter Bennett
Why did he leave :(
Brayden Peterson

Colton Sullivan
Oersted did nothing wrong
Benjamin Price
He didn't really. Everybody in Lucretia was a dick.
Andrew Scott
He got cuck'd.
Michael Hughes
>tfw when you get cucked so hard you become the lord of demons, stall time and space and suck everyone into your dimension
Eli Russell
Fuck both of those emulators. If you want accurate emulation, get Higan.
Grayson Jackson
It did rather badly in Japan
Juan Jones
Is Oersted /our guy/?
Ryder Brown
Obarumaru is our guy.
Nobody can spin/kill like he can.
Nolan Hernandez
>mfw getting the soda bottle first try on king mammoth
>mfw I have no face
Connor Jackson
But did you get the basic rock?
Michael Diaz
Game is great but a little too unpolished to be anything but a cult game.
Also iirc each era having a different font was something the fan patch added, an official release wouldnt bother
Luke Long
How do you think I managed to kill him in the first place? I'm trying to get the best stuff possible on my second run and I gotta say the no-kills rule in Oboro's chapter makes it pretty interesting. I had the map hot ironed to my brain by the end of it
Christian Taylor
one last bump
LaL threads never last and I'm sure it's for the best, but I don't wanna go
Thomas Perez

>Listen to the final boss theme.
>Includes the Saint Alicia attack screech at the end of the track.
sppoks me every time
Thomas Brooks
This game was ridiculously ambitious. My only gripe is that the attack descriptions don't tell you enough and you have to try everything out to figure out what it does.
The battle system has a lot of potential, but some things became predictable like an enemy's strongest attack always being their diagonal attack since it covers the least area.
In a sequel (never ever) it would be great if you could target specific parts of the body (since enemies take up more than one square), it would add a lot of strategy to the game.
Matthew Miller
>He came back every year to comment saying it's been one more year since his brother died.
Christian Fisher
Y-you mean that's why he stopped doing videos?
Where are these comments? I checked his channel but I never knew ;_;
Evan Davis
>the protagonist got cucked and turn into a villain
Justin Brooks
They were on his channel page, but they may have been lost.
Logan Cox
He means re-select medieval chapter for the final chapter.
Elijah Edwards
Every chapter is inspired by something.
Jordan Ward
Damn, that's a shame he stopped because of that. I wish he would come back though.
Cooper Nelson
He had the most lame shit to say to oersted, everyone else (except the robot because it can't talk) say something meanful, even the caveman "love!!!" Strikes oersted where it hurts, but sundown kid only comments about wanting to return home.
James Morgan
Western: For a Few Dollars More
Space: Alien, 2001 A Space Oddysey
Mecha: Mazinger Z, Raideen, Kamen Rider
Prehistoric: The Gods Must Be Crazy
Wrestling: Street Fighter 2
Ninja: I forget the name, but it was a famous jidai geki movie
Kung Fu: Wuxia
Medieval: Final Fantasy
Thomas Scott
I know but the Sundown kid especially since he looks like clint eastwood.
Akira should be added to the Mecha chapter.
Jason Harris
It COULD be made today, but everyone would just call it unoriginal and full of ripoffs. It was back in the day when filling a work with references wasn't faux pas.
Michael Taylor
That's where Raideen comes in, the mech in that could only be piloted by a psychic.
Thomas Carter
Remember, Sundown just wants to die.
Kayden Wright
Remember, Tokita has wanted to remake it for years now

Grayson Roberts
To be honest I don't think I've seen a game like Live a Live since. If so feel free to name one.
Caleb Wright
Does Touhou A Live count?
Grayson Morris
No
Ethan Scott
Fucking square. Do you realize how good this game would be with a remake?
Benjamin Smith
It's not like Square forgot about it. They re-released it on VC for its 20th anniversary.
Julian Jenkins
Wasn't the VC japan only?
Isaac Turner
What I really liked and I think doesn't get brought up enough, is how every chapter had its characters designed by a different mangaka. It really made them feel more distinct.
Angel Hernandez
Yes, but that's because there's no official english version for them to put on our VC
Oliver Thomas
Fun fact that a lot of you might already know:
When he made his EarthBound Halloween hack, the creator of Undertale wanted to use Live A Live's Megalomania as the final boss track, unfortunately he couldn't get it to work with EB's soundfont. So instead he made his own track inspired by it, "Megalovania" which is the meme song we all know today.
Hudson Robinson
And Megalomania is a DLC Song for Theatrhythm Curtain Call.
Daniel Nelson
It also got an vocal release, and apparently the whole song is in english

It's no game. Live or Die.
No time for losers beat the beast keep on fighting
Let's get down. Now's the time.
The past is gone, I can't look back ahhhh—
I have no love. All I see now is sadness
Sky has no mercy every day is so dark just cry x3
I have no one. All I have now is you.
Somebody save me cause I wanna be free I try x3
Where to go? Who to be?
Losing my time eating me up inside.
Let's get up. Rise to shine.
It's now or never I cannot go back ahhhh—
But where's my hope? All I see now is darkness.
Life has no meaning every night I wake up just cry x3
I have no one. All I have now is you.
someday I'll get up 'cause I gotta be free just try x3
A new horizon, destiny is approaching me now. Keep trying...
Burning desire, never let go the victory now. Keep fighting...
It's too late. Win or Lose.
No chance of winning gotta stop this I'm hurting
is this fate? What's the use?
The past is gone this is survival ahhhh—
I have no love. All I see now is lonliness.
Sky has no mercy every day I lay down just cry x3
I have no one. All I have now is you.
Somebody save me cause I wanna break out I try x3
Win to fight. There's no tie.
My heart is rising suddenly there's no sound around.
Endless fight. Live or die.
Time has no mercy what a death battle ahhhh—
But where's my joy? All I feel now is madness.
Life has no meaning every night I wake up just cry x3
I have no one. All I have now is you.
Someday I'll get up cause I gotta be strong just try x3
See the horizon? Destiny is approaching me now. Keep trying...
Burning desire, never let go the victory now. Keep fighting...
A new horizong, destiny is approaching me now. Keep trying...
Burning desire, never let go the victory now...
It's literally about Oersted
Brandon Garcia
bump
Logan Jackson
Grayson Edwards
Another bump
Ryder Barnes
Explain the gameplay, is it like fire emblem or FF
Carter Gomez
think in a proto chrono trigger.
Matthew Jenkins
Single screen grid system in which you can move around and take turns similar to FF. Attacks from enemies change depend on the position you are relative to them this is somewhat similar to the player as certain attacks require certain positions to be in due to the amount of tiles or area of attack said attacks take up.
Multiple chapters with different characters that all come together in the final chapter. All chapters have different stories and based on certain genres and also twist the way the game is played somewhat.
Samuel Parker
It actually plays more like SaGa Frontier
Matthew Edwards
Good game. I emulated it once.
Ryan Reyes
Explain that combat system
Christopher Ward
Sounds cool is there a patch needed or something
Gabriel Russell
How do I play this in English?
Dominic Scott
Search it on Google, is a patch for the snes game easy to find
Aaron Kelly
Liam Morris
>if you don't pick Sundown as your MC for the final chapter you have to chase his ass all over the map until he joins
Easton Wright
Hate if you want, but that's kinda where undertale came from. Megalovania started as a replacement for megalomania, since the earthbound tracker couldnt handle it.
Change cultural references to vidya ones and you can see whats going on.
Gavin Watson
>this got deleted because square wanted more SQ CHIPS 2 sales
>nobody got to experience the best remix of the final theme
Brandon Allen
Yeah but the idea of multiple chapters all based around different MCs that come together in the end is what makes LAL unique.
Luke Diaz
Undertale isn't really Live a Live at all.
Live a Live has multiple chapters with different't genre's and a grid based system of combat. It might have influenced Toby in some way but it really doesn't play or look anything alike.
Parker Morris
Sometimes you have to shovel through piles and piles of shit on Sup Forums just to come across one thread like this and it's so fucking worth it.
Bless you OP.
Jack Gray
Thanks user. Underrated gems like this deserve more treatment, usually when I post something like this it gets lost in 10 seconds flat.
Gavin Hill
Holy fuck, this is good.
Grayson Phillips
I meant more aesthetically, but yeah.
>different MCs that come together in the end
Well, theres KH:BBS, but that's also Square.
Thomas Hall
I posted it in a vidya music thread not too long ago explaining how I got the track. basically someone uploaded it to youtube and I managed to snag a copy of it befre square took it down everywhere and uploaded to my channel years later
I'm sure there's more SQ Chips 2 tracks out there and we need to find 'em because this shit is great
Ayden Jackson
Fuck off m8 I loved the future chapter. Akira and his pal were cool, I loved the turtle robot, using his ESP to read all the NPCs' minds was hilarious at times, and the finale was awesome.
Colton Bell
Kill you...
Daniel Martin
I think he's talking about Cube's chapter.
