Talk:Live A Live

message: I never could make sense of this game's title, but after seeing an article including it (here), it all makes sense: it should be Live a Life. The English title on the front must be Engrish - either that, or Square's executives thought that the title would look cool with the inverted "LIVE," knowing Japanese kids wouldn't know the difference anyways. The title fits perfectly - you get to live out different lives. Do you think this should call for a name change or not? --Tristam 23:13, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Name

message: Currently, the section on the "Flow" chapter says there are references to Evangelion. However, Evangelion didn't come out until a year after Live-a-Live was released, and according to the Eva wiki page the first chapters of the manga weren't even published until 3 months after the game came out.  So despite how very similar the two concepts are, Live-a-live does not reference Eva. 134.71.132.141 08:48, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was reading through the article and noticed this too, and if anything, Evangelion borrowed the idea from Live-A-Live. I guess it's logical to remove this line.--Koheiman 03:49, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Anime References

message: In the description of the Wild West chapter, "They shoot down most of the members of the gang, until the leader, O. Dio, comes at them with a Gatling gun.", there's no mention that the main plotline involves gathering and setting up various traps during the night, to get rid of as many minions as possible when they arrive at sunset for the final battle.
In the description of the Oersted scenario, I found several things somewhat misleading:
* "Hash soon dies, as he used the last of his strength in the battle." - he dies of bleeding after his plague disease finally overcomes him.
* "After Oersted slays Straybow, Alicia appears and declares her undying love for Straybow before killing herself." - makes it sound like she secretly loved him throughout the entire game. In the (fan-)translation she says the following: "Stay away! ... Why... why didn't you come for me...? I waited for you! Oh, how I waited... But... it was Straybow who came for me! He... He always suffered in your shadow... You could never understand how awful it is to always be the loser! Straybow... It's alright... I... I'll always be with you! *stabs herself*". This makes me think that instead, during the short time he was alone with her, Straybow managed to feed her enough lies / personal problems so that she sympathized with him.
In the final chapter, "Odio draws the heroes of the previous chapters together in one place and time, and challenges them to a final battle. After Odio is defeated by the heroes, he gains an understanding of why they continue to fight, before he dies.". As an alternative ending, playing as Oersted, he will take over all the previous boss battles to slaughter the protagonists, or trigger Armageddon if defeated.
Not sure if such details are needed, just wanted to point it out. Theultramage (talk) 08:58, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm the primary author of the current revision of the plot summary. Before I worked on it, it was 7 pages long, giving way more detail than we needed in a Wikipedia article. My primary goal was to cut out the massive amount of fat in the summary, leaving only the meat necessary to understanding the story. If I cut anything that was important, or introduced erronious information, I can't offer an excuse, only the explanation that I have never played the game before, and as such, didn't know it was important/wrong. Feel free to fix the summary any way you feel necessary. If you want to add information, please do so within reason, so it doesn't get too long again. If you can improve other parts of the article as well, we'd apreciate it. Larrythefunkyferret (talk) 05:49, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Clarification

message: The trivia section currently takes up half of this article. It is full of unsourced information that I must assume is Original Research. I don't want to be accused of vandalism, but this cannot stay the way it is. I'll wait a few days for it to be sourced and moved to a better place in the article, but if it's not sourced in a few days, I'm cutting the whole section.

thread_title:  The Trivia section 

message: Hi, I've never really contributed something as big as a rewrite to Wikipedia before, but I'm a big fan of this game and this article frankly needed it. I rewrote every word of the article except the music section, which was fine. I understand there's still more work to be done, but it's a lot better as it is (I hope.) I have the knowledge and the desire to improve this article further, so if any more experienced Wikipedians would like to give me some hints on how to do that, I would be glad for the advice.

thread_title:  June 09 Rewrite 

message: Unfortunately, as a google search reveals, information on this game practically does not exist in English, so a translation is probably the best option. Currently, I feel the introduction and the sections on Gameplay and Plot are in good shape, but this article could benefit from sections for Development and Reception, as well as more information about Music. The Japanese version of this article is a beast with too much information, so feel free to omit extraneous information at your own discretion. Thank you. --RubilacEx 04:56, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Request for translation 

message: Yes, I am the now infamous editor who struck on the fateful day of United States eastern time of 12/9/14! 
But in all seriousness, I did create a bit of a mess. However, I also included some important details that this article was missing, but also little things on the side that would have, admittedly, would have better belonged in TV Tropes. Delete what you must, especially that little bit about Odio's vulture wings, which DID come from TV Tropes, but do try to keep in the important details. 
I've been obsessed with the concept of this game for awhile (concept, mind you, as in I have never mustered the nerves to play it), and this is my first day of editing just so you know.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.223.207.186 (talk) 05:03, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
