This game has one of my favorite antagonists of all time. It goes into far greater depth as to his origins and what drove him to evil, because you unknowingly play as him for a time and see the tragic events and betrayal unfold from his perspective. It's rare to find a villain you can empathize with, and as a whole, I found the cast of characters more compelling than in most other Square games.

"There's no confirmation of how the game's name is pronounced", he said, as the phonetic spelling of the game's name slowly grew larger on screen. But it's a great in-depth look into a game I never knew existed, and I love the video regardless. :)

RMD Cade suppose that should be amended to say there’s no ENGLISH confirmation of how the games name is pronounced

[@PSVitaat2am]

I always called it Live A Live too personally

[@rmdcade1717]

Luckily, each Japanese hiragana or katakana character has only a single pronunciation, and they follow a very straightforward repetition of five vowel sounds. Once you know how the vowels sound, you can pronounce every phoneme pretty acceptably. It's not a big deal, obviously, but a quick video (at only four minutes, this one still manages to be overkill: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIGteqqcm5iqZqs) and a quick google for "kana chart" will allow Dazz to butcher Japanese just as well as he does English with his adorable accent. :P

[@Rationalific]

Yeah. I wrote this under one other comment, but I will say it again here... Even if he can't read it himself, he could have asked one of his 2.1 million subscribers before he put out a video saying this... In fact, even if he knew no katakana and had nobody to ask, a simple comparison shows that the first word ライブ is equal to the last word ライブ. That, by itself, should tell him that the first and last words are pronounced the same way.

Actually the title foreshadows what happens afterwards as "live" is "evil" spelled backwards. So title is actually "Live-A-Evil" . CORRECTION: I was wrong on this. The katakana below the title say raibu a raibu, so the title really is Live-A-Live. Still, the fact that the "Live" is inversed on the title is *NO* coincidence. Great game, and the eighth chapter's twist made my jaw drop the first time I saw it. Also, the developers did their research. The Sundown Kid chapter's ending is based on actual historical accounts. It's a shame that Japanese copyright laws will never allow this game to be played legally here. Oh, well, there's always emulation.

Actually no, because the katakana at the bottom says raibu a raibu

Given that this game was released in the 16-bit era, I don't think Nintendo of America would have permitted a release in North America without some alterations to the story (namely, the onscreen suicide). Even without considering censorship, a translation would have been time consuming for what was at the time a niche genre and a flagship RPG like Final Fantasy VI was more likely to move units.

I remember everyone would not shut up about seiken densetsu 3! Like it was on par with everyone talking chrono cross & ff6. Don’t get me wrong chrono cross & ff6 are still good games, but that’s probably the only snes Square games anyone ever talks about. Which makes me sad because there were some truly hidden gems that never released outside of Japan.

They just decided "Ahh yes, we could just port this. or we could BLOW YOUR MIIIIIIIIIINDS" I just finished it today and maaaan what a ride it was. Well written, well voice acted, fun gameplay, cool mechanics in every path, visually glorious, great ui. It was just a blast.

[@PaulieWalnuts13]

THE REMAKE WAS INCREDIBLE

[@mr.vidjagamez9896]

I always pronounced the game as LIVE A LIFE. To me that makes the most sense, each chapter you are playing the life of a different character, and like wise the title mirroring LIVE to say EVIL, is foreshadowing the fact that you are not only experiencing the different lives of characters facing a great evil, but one character in particular is very much the source of that evil to begin with, so you are living their life as well as their evil.

[@Swordmaster7th]

It's being remade and gonna be here in the west. Ready to play this fresh from there.

[@arturoperezify]

It finally left lol

[@Alphatac]

Ladies, Gentlemen and more madlads arriving after the Direct announcement: Welcome and take your seat!
