To say LIVE A LIVE is one of the great classics from the Super Famicom is already an understatement in of itself, in spite of it infamously never releasing outside of Japan, but words cannot begin to express how fantastic this remake is. Beautiful environments and banger music are in no short supply thanks to the work of Team Asano and legendary composer Yoko Shimomura respectively, and the unique combat system still feels fresh even nearly three decades later, with a fantastic new UI overhaul to make it more understandable to new players. The plot and story structure, especially regarding that of the endgame, feels strikingly ahead of its time in many regards, and a particular new addition to one of the endings ties everything together even better than the original did. If you're a fan of turn-based RPGs, especially from this era of video games, do NOT miss out on this game. Highly recommend.
