Live A Live gives players the ability to experience its eight chapters in any order they desire. However, there is an optimal order we recommend depending on whether you want a gradual increase in difficulty or narrative complexity.
Some stories in Live A Live are difficult and do not give you any prior training or grinding to get a feeling for the battle system before throwing you into combat, so, it’s not recommended that you start with these.
Live A Live: Best Play Order in Increasing Difficulty
In each chapter, you will need to level up your character appropriately because you will be using all of them in thefinal dungeon. The characters in the earlier chapters we have chosen get automatic story upgrades, so they don’t need much work from the player. Starting from prehistory and sticking it out through the grind, you will have to not only level up your characters but gather the best weapons and items for them, as there are not many chances to do so in the grand finale. This guide also keeps the final dungeon in mind and arranges the earlier chapters accordingly.
Best Play Order in Narrative Complexity
Some stories, despite involving the same main theme of ‘Ending the Cycle of Vengeance’, are more subtle and vague about telling this story than others. Players wanting to experience the game in a way that gradually introduces the game’s main theme, they should play in the order listed below.
In the final dungeon, you will also get a chance to start the chapter with any character you desire, the significance of this is that only the character you choose in the finale will get the chance to converse with the villain and deliver asmall speechthat acts as a payoff for the growth you have experienced during your journey. If you want to see the answer to your character’s arc verbalized, make sure to start the final dungeon with him, gather the rest of the team and unlock the true ending. This way, everything regarding the character you chose will come a full circle.
