I’m glad that we finally got this cult classic JRPG in the West, but it has so many issues I have that stack up over time. Pathetically easy to weirdly difficult balancing, alright redone OST that should have included the SNES OST too, questionable localization at times, and some elements truly show its SNES era of design. Despite these problems, Live A Live is pretty cool, especially as someone who doesn’t enjoy Octopath Traveler that much. Middle Ages chapter is the best story in a JRPG I ever experience. Never kneeled so hard in my RPG journey…
