Live A Live English translation
ライブ・ア・ライブ
Aeon Genesis' long-standing English translation of Square's era-hopping Super Famicom RPG, in its 2.00 Deluxe version.
The game
Each chapter is a short story with its own mechanic: the caveman sniffs out enemies, the psychic in the near future reads minds, the martial artist of the present learns moves from opponents, and the Wild West gunslinger sets traps before the showdown. Battles happen on a small grid where position matters. Once every story is done, they tie together.
What's translated
Aeon Genesis first released the translation in December 2001. Version 2.00 Deluxe, from May 2008, revises it throughout.
