Walk into any bookstore and you’ll find a binary made by the publishing industry between literary and genre fiction. It’s a literary move attempted by a master of his craft. Creating multiple narrative threads in a video game and then retroactively piecing them all together was ingenious in 1994, and it remains ambitious today. So, basically, Live A Live is sandwiched in Tokita’s catalog between two of the greatest games of the ’90s - if not all time. Released in 1994, the original Live A Live was Takashi Tokita’s second game at Square (now Square Enix) after his work as a lead game designer on Final Fantasy 4 (released as Final Fantasy 2 in the U.S.) and before his work directing Chrono Trigger.
