Aug 7, 2022quite nice turn-based rpg but with a tactical side (case), but I consider that it is a rpg for children (no need to regen between fights, no need to farm xp, no need to manage mana...), but the big problem is that the stories are too short and really cliché (good guys against bad guys for each story)
there were much more useful rpgs to remaster than this one -
Jul 24, 2022One of the best JRPGs to ever do it but in HD-2D. The "censorship" is 2 of Shifu's lines being changed, and as someone who played the fan translation those lines change next to nothing. This is by far the best way to play this game.

Jul 25, 2022They need to make a lot of games in this art style. Incredible. The game is great. For those moaning about censorship, play the snes version!

Jul 23, 2022This is how I'd wish they remake all the classics. Just feels like you are playing something that was made with love and care.

Jul 31, 2022Anyone giving this less than a 9 isn't being for real as a gamer or have any idea what a masterpiece this is.. This is definitely JRPG game of the year contender. SOUND, STORY, GAMEPLAY, AND CHARACTERS - all 10! Disregard all the 0-8.. They aren't real gamers or JRPG fans! Anyone who loves turn-base do NOT miss this!

Jul 24, 2022We urgently need to warn Japanese companies about localization completely ruining their characters, it's getting worse, it's out of control.

Jul 26, 2022Phenomenal game. Loving the HD 2D. Music, Battles, and narrative are damn near perfect. Can’t wait to see more games in this style…..

Jul 26, 2022A fantastic remake 2d HD has become a favorite style mostly stays true to the original

Jul 23, 2022Buen RPG, nunca he probado el original por la barrera del idioma, por ello no sé tan fiel será al material de origen, además hasta a precio reducido de 50€/$50, una compra imprescindible para todos los fans del JRPG clásico, aunque más combates importantes no estaría de más.

Oct 20, 2022Never played this game before so I'm glad they remade it. I like the SE 2.5HD games I hope they do more of them.

Nov 22, 2022Juegazo con mayusculas y uno de los maximos exponentes de los JRPG en la Nintendo Switch.

Aug 9, 2022Excelente adaptación del juego. Es muy entretenido y con unos gráficos muy bien cuidados, respetando el espíritu de lo retro. Su división en 7+1 historias distintas, hace que no tengas necesidad de jugar todo el juego seguido. Muy recomendable.

Aug 4, 2022Loved this creative JRPG! Reminiscent of Octopath Traveler and Chrono Trigger. Wasn't a fan of random encounters towards the end, as I really enjoyed all the ways the previous chapters presented the battles. All in all, a stellar experience I recommend to any JRPG fan! Amazing music, charming graphics, fun stories and smooth gameplay.

Nov 24, 2022Menuda sorpresa de juego! Unos gráficos preciosos, una banda sonora súper épica, una historia contada de una manera increíble. Se vw un juego súper fresco para tener los años que tiene. Súper recomendable para cualquier amante de los jrpg o de los videojuegos en general. Qué bien que nos lo hayan traído a España y encima traducido!

Jul 31, 2022Una joyita clasica de los JRPG remasterizada a la perfección, imprescindible para los amantes del genero.

Aug 2, 2022One of the best rpgs on the switch, a amazing world brought to life with an amazing coat of paint. Despite some script changes i feel a lot of them are either side grades and the updates to this game make it just as good and in many cases better than the original. Please play this game and support these types of games

Jan 22, 2023The story are boring and very short. The gameplay is also boring. The graphics and music's are good but that's all. I loved triangle strategy and octopath traveler

Mar 15, 2023Team asano does it again, what a great game. 2022 was the year of the excellent RPGs imo. Thank you square enix for continuing to supply us with the fix that is hd 2D. Everything about this game is charming and nostalgic!

Jul 10, 2023Um grande jogo que tive o prazer de jogar novamente. Para quem não conhece deveria dar uma chance, pois se não valer a pena pelo gameplay diversificado, vale a pena pelas histórias.

Nintendo Force MagazineNov 9, 2022If you're a fan of RPGs from the 16-bit era, or if you're looking for something that doesn't require a huge time investment, LIVE A LIVE is one RPG you won't want to miss, and not just because it was a stepping stone to some of the classics of that era. It's a unique storytelling experience! [Issue #61 – September/October 2022, p. 73]

Oct 14, 2022Live A Live not only brings a decades-old Japan exclusive to the west, but it also vastly improves it in the audio and visual sense. Flaws of the original are still present, but as a refreshed gem from the past, Live A Live is something every fan of the genre should give a chance to.

Sep 8, 2022Despite its 90s origins, Live a Live feels novel, revitalising a genre that often feels too conservative. It’s a constantly shifting, time-travelling bonanza that foreshadows what Takita would perfect in 1995’s Chrono Trigger; 90s role-playing fans are now praying that it receives the same lavish remake treatment, alongside other classics of the time such as Final Fantasy VI. Live a Live is not without its faults, but in an age of fast-food entertainment that satiates without leaving a taste, this compendium is a curio that’s certainly worth your time.
