I hope this is a good start--I felt the previous synopses were too unspecific and didn't give enough information about the chapters; I realize, though, that I may have been more specific (much more) than necessary. At the very least, I think the variations of Odio for the different bosses should be noted, though it's up to you. Just...don't revert it out of hand, please.

[edit] Name

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)

The name of the game is Live A Live. Yes, it is Engrish, but that's the name.Viewer 23:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Also did you notice that it's Live A Evil on the picture :D --Sniper89 17:22, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anime References

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)

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)
