Live A Live Shares Daily Artwork Up To Release; 10 Days

July 12, 2022 Orpheus Joshua

Square Enix has been sharing daily artwork to hype up the upcoming HD-2D remake of Live A Live on Nintendo Switch. Today’s art is by a pixel artist from the development team, depicting the protagonist of the Present Day era, Masaru Takahara. He aims to become the strongest via a prominent martial arts tournament and can do so thanks to cleverly baiting his opponents to utilize their secret techniques and take them as his own.

Check out the latest trailer showcasing each of the time periods.

You can view the full illustration counting down 10 days until Live A Live’s release below:

Live A Live was initially released only in Japan for the Super Famicom in 1994. It is unique as a JRPG title as it is effectively seven more miniature games that take place across different settings and time periods, with two unlockable scenarios that tie the stories together.

The title gained a following outside of Japan thanks to a fan translation that was among the earliest widely-shared complete patches, despite being considered to be a sales failure in its home country. The title has (again, exclusively in Japan) also been re-released through the Virtual Console service on the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS in 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Live A Live is releasing for Nintendo Switch worldwide on July 22, 2022.
