Prehistory is a silent slapstick comedy (with a surprising number of sex jokes), Imperial China is an ode to kung fu legends and movies, Near Future is your classic giant robot anime setup, the Distant Future is a dark mashup of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Alien, and so on. Each of the Live A Live’s time periods offers its own unique tone. Each chapter tells its own independent story and they can be played through in any order, although the meta story of the mysterious ultimate evil you’re fighting ties them all together. Live A Live isn’t your typical 90s-era JRPG, and it immediately sets itself apart from its contemporaries by letting you choose from seven chapters, each taking place in a different time period - Prehistory, Imperial China, Edo Japan, the Wild West, Present Day, the Near Future, and the Distant Future.
