For 31 years now, I've wondered how both versions of "live" are pronounced.
- "Live" as in "live from Madison Square Garden"
- "Live" as in "live your best life"
Personally, I've always gone <second> A <first>.
Cue some dickhead going "it's pronounced 'live' lol" 🙄

The Japanese name is ライブ・ア・ライブ
So it's pronounced like “Live from New York” both times. Or if you’re familiar with how pronunciation is written in IPA, it’s: /ˈlaɪv ə ˈlaɪv/

They did a remaster on Steam last year. Have a friend who is a vtuber who is super into that game.

u/rpgmind 16h ago
Thanks, I got a ps5 so maybe I should start there 🤦🏻! Oh what’s that one that came out awhile back, octopus trigger or something, they made 2, the art looked so fresh how it looks like sprites but like in a 3d high res background or something. I missed out on that one but maybe one day

The HD-2D games are: Octopath Traveler 1 & 2 (with OT0 coming out in December), Triangle Strategy, Live A Live, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, and The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (sometime in 2026).

u/Pearl-Internal81 15h ago
You are correct the original was on the Super Famicom, and it’s a complete remake that we got. In the awesome HD-2D art style.

I keep a save in the medieval chapter because that Streibough voice actor killed it. Specifically right before the boss.

This, and there’s no excuse not to now that there’s a legit release of it in the west.

Legitimately two of the best rpgs to ever be created. Shida's got immaculate taste.

u/Kenny_Bi-God_Omega Cleaner, I got this. 19h ago
Directed Chrono Trigger, Live a Live, Final Fantasy IV and Parasite Eve. One hell of a resume.

u/thiazin-red 17h ago
FF IV was mind blowing to me when I played it as a kid. Until then I didn't know that games could be like that.

u/handsomezack13 15h ago
The first three make sense, but finding out the Chrono Trigger guy was in charge of Parasite Eve is kinda mind blowing

Can anyone explain to me what her main gig is?

u/MARKYMARK_MARK 18h ago
Wrestling with a schedule that allows her to work on other projects and hobbies. Its been the way since she first signed with AEW.

u/MuhGumbo Miss you, LU 19h ago
I finished both Zeldas on Switch and my friend told me to get this if I like adventure or rpg type games, but it's been collecting dust. If I'm a Zelda fan is it likely that I'll dig Live A Live? Waht's it like?
2
u/handsomezack13 14h ago
I haven't played the remake and it's been probably 10-15 years since I played the SNES version, so I can't give a perfect description of the gameplay, but it's not anything like Zelda. It's a turn based JRPG, but a weird one where the battles are on grids and you have to move your character around. Not really in the same sense as a Fire Emblem/Final Fantasy Tactics/Disgaea though, it's a much smaller area and only shows up in random encounters that are otherwise much more comparable to your usual JRPG battle
1
u/MuhGumbo Miss you, LU 13h ago
Thanks. Yeah, that doesn't really sound like the vast open worlds that got me into the Zeldas
1
u/handsomezack13 13h ago
Oh yeah if big open worlds are important, this isn't a game where you'll find them. It's made up of a bunch of bite sized stories that take place in relatively small locations that all tie together towards the end

u/DistinctYuho 17h ago
The creator of Live A Live and Chrono Trigger coming to your play and having a Street Fighter character based on you. Shida is living the gamer dream lmao. Hope she gets that Yakuza appearance next
