Review by Rubilac
"Appears to be a mediocre JRPG at first, but don't judge a book by its cover!"
"Live a Live" is the best game ever created. It was made by Squaresoft (who later merged with Enix to form Square Enix), which is a horrible company because they made Final Fantasy 7 which is NOT Fire Emblem 7. However, it is still the best game ever created, as I already stated. The game is basically a parody of every other game ever created like poland fpa lolololol khanzza. The wrestler chapter is a parody of fighting games and the sci fi chapter is not a rip off of aliens or 2001 but a parody and the medieval chapter has a funny parody of random battles where it has alot of random battles that interfere with playing the game.
Story 10/10 This is the most important aspect of the game. I play games like these them for the story even if their gameplay has a huge flaw like the fact that you can only move one of your party members in a turn which means that using all of your party members instead of just your strongest one is a disadvantage. This doesn't matter because, as I already stated, gameplay doesn't matter at all because this game has parodies of JRPG's in it.
Gameplay 10/10 I may have just stated that the gameplay sucks, but that was only to explain that the story is the best story ever conceived. This game's combat takes place on a grid, and Fire Emblem also takes place on a grid which means that this game has great gameplay. The gameplay has no major similarities to Fire Emblem besides that, but one similar detail is enough to warrant a 10/10 rating.
Graphics 10/10 Live a Live's graphics are like Final Fantasy 5's graphics except for the fact that they are actually good because Final Fantasy 5 didn't have good graphics or anything good for that matter because it wasn't Fire Emblem 5.
Sound 10/10 The sound effects are nothing special, but Live a Live makes up for it by having an amazing soundtrack. There's this one song in the game called "Knock you Down" which is khan. "Difficult Fight" refuses to beatmap, unfortunately.
I know what you readers are thinking right now. "Hey! You're not you!" Go take my entire review and replace my troglodytic vocabulary with big words that mean the same exact thing as my phrases so I look more like myself. Ignore all of the grammar mistakes.
