Its unusual vignette structure and lovable ensemble cast are a delight to spend time with, especially thanks to the addition of voice acting, and the ultimate story payoff remains surprising and stand-out among JRPGs even decades after its original iteration' – Rebekah Valentine VG247 – 4/5 'Live A Live is a fascinating piece of JRPG history that’s more than worthy of the energy Square Enix has spent to remake it for a global audience with a beautiful new art style decades later. You’ll love some sections more than others, to be sure, but the way it all ties together is nothing short of spectacular.' – Corey Planet IGN – 9/10

'There’s something for everyone in Live A Live, a deliberate blast from the past that draws from Final Fantasy IV as much as it does 2001: A Space Odyssey and Shane. The character sprites themselves are beautifully detailed and brimming with personality-perhaps best exemplified in the prehistory chapter, where a lack of dialogue makes their expressiveness all the more vital to the storytelling.' – Heidi Kemps. The graphics use the company's fan-favorite HD-2D engine, which has seen in games like Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy, and creates gorgeous, vibrant environments that retain a retro-RPG feel. Square-Enix put a lot of care and love into remaking this game, and it shows. 'It can't be understated just how good Live A Live's presentation is.
