For example, the feudal Japan scenario is largely stealth-based, while the near-future scenario gives you the ability to read people’s minds to learn the info you need to progress. The whole game uses a turn-based combat system, but each character has their own unique twist put on gameplay. Where Live A Live differs from something like Octopath Traveler, is the variation put into each scenario. Live A Live was very much the first RPG to try this kind of storytelling and works as a precursor to titles that have interweaving storylines, like Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. The game was originally never released outside Japan, but a translation was made by the Aeon Genesis group in 2008. Just like with Octopath Traveler, you can play through the storylines in any order, but everything comes together in the final scenario. Live A Live is a 1994 JRPG where you go through different chapters, each set in a different point in time with an unique story. From a caveman named Pogo to a maintenance robot named Cube, these scenarios are set in the same world but span centuries. Live A Live had a profound effect on the RPG genre, especially in terms of its experimental story that weaved together the story of eight different protagonists across time. Octopath Traveler draws heavy inspiration from Live A Live and even has the same number of main characters.
