Makes me happy to know I wasn't the only one who came here after the Live A Live remake got announced.

Who is here after the Feb 2022 Nintendo Direct where they announced Live A Live and Earthbound for Switch???

Here comes LiveALive to the Switch!!!

I had to come back here since Live A Live has a remake in 2022!!!

Alex I instantly thought of your channel after seeing the Feb 2022 Direct and the Live Alive announcement. Someone watching your videos must be talking to their Uncle that works at Nintendo. I’m exited to see what other Japanese gems might finally see official western releases! Thanks man and have a great rest of your day 😎

I didnt recognize the gameplay but I recognized the logo because of SnesDrunk!

Thanks for introducing this game to me. Can't wait to play it on switch

Thanks for the heads up on Live a Live and Treasures of the Rudra. Playing them both for the first time and loving them!

I had seen this video a long time ago. I came back after the latest Nintendo Direct. I am definitely going to check out Live A Live!

Thanks a million for promoting LiveALive. Just one of the many great games that ended up on my SNES mini thanks to you.

Live A Live is absolutely freakin' mind-blowing and an absolute MUST play for any hardcore RPG fan! The graphics might not be anything too impressing, but the music, the stories, and the innovative and varied gameplay of each story make up for it several times over. Once you've played it you'll be very, very angry that it was never released here. Thank God for reproductions! I've played only a little of Gunman's Proof. It's a huge Zelda: A Link to the Past knock-off, even stealing many of it's graphics, but it seems to be a really, really good one. Treasure of the Rudras looks incredible, and that Mantras system sounds super cool and fun. I gotta get that one. Alcahest appeals to me as well. Here's the deal with Mystic Ark: It is made by the same people who made The 7th Saga, and it shares similarities, but it is not actually related to it in any way. However, despite that fact, it was originally going to be released here under the title "The 7th Saga II".

Thankyou Snesdrunk for telling me about LiveALive. I just finished my first playthrough of it and enjoyed it immensely. I will definitely be checking out other games on this list. Keep up the good work!

Just started watching your channel recently and really dig your videos. Especially like this series, as I hadn't even heard of half the RPGs on your list.

Rudra no Hihou is really cool. I had never heard of Live A Live, and I must say it looks pretty interesting. Nice informative video

Thanks! Now I have 3 new RPGs to play! (the first 3)

Treasure of the Rudras is amazing

I first heard of Live a Live here years ago. Finally pulled the trigger on the remake and it is indeed a great game. Would have missed it if it wasn’t for you, thanks Drunk!

Thank you for looking more in depth for these games as well. I never would of found things like Rudra no Hihou or Chaos Seed in such an accessible, and explained enough to give interest into it as this video presents.

Oh man, I wish I have time to play them all! One day, I will! Live-A-Live looks really impressive, I finally found a good review for it. Added to my "wish list". Rudras and Chaos Seed have gorgeous pixelart, makes me want to play it too!

Treasure of the Rudras has a top tier soundtrack. Thanks for introducing me to that game.

Wow! This is a gem of a video! Thank you for the recommendations. '90s JRPGs are so wonderful :)

Here after the Live a Live HD-2D remake announcement

Just became a new subscriber, and have been binge watching all your videos! Thanks for the very entertaining content!

Thanks so much for making these videos. I hadn't heard of most of these games, and am really enjoying Treasure of the Rudras - awesome game!

Thanks, man! This series really helps! There's so many gems on the SNES that I had no idea existed.

One of your best and most informative videos so ty! The first 2 here look so facinating and the 3rd one maybe too. By what you described its literally a game about using fung shway (sp?) to save the world which i find hilarious!

Man, the Ys games are so good, I'm glad you mentioned them!

Your coffee mug and T-Shirt are super cool, man.

Damn it SNES Drunk! Now I have to go and check out Chaos Seed, LIVE A LIVE, and Gunman's Proof. Thanks for sharing these games. I admit I am not normally an RPG person, but I do love finding fun Japan-only games from the SNES era.

Anyone else scouring RU-vid to find the few cultured people who know what Live A Live is?

Wow. While I was familiar with a couple of the games mentioned with the first one and the Ys games, Live A Live, and Alcahest of this one, Treasure of the Rudras REALLY piqued my interest thanks to its magic system. I'm going to have to hunt that one down along with Chaosseed... Thanks for the great info, SNES Drunk!

FYI, the two words "Live" in "Live A Live" are not pronounced like most of us English-speakers think. They rhyme with the word "alive".

Another great list, thank you so much

I had a lot of fun with Ganpuru. Nothing beats killing Zelda-ish enemies with a shotgun blast to the face.

I really like your reviews.

upon playing Treasure of Rudra's, I thought of it as Spiritual Successor to Live A Live.

Damn... these games look great

Oh heck yeah. A game where you play as Snufkin with a shotgun. Yea i gotta try that

When is the third part for this coming out??? One of my favorite videos to watch... my list of repro carts I need is largely based on these first two parts.

Hey mr Snesdrunk - Live A Live is currently one of the best selling games on the Switch right now. I thought it was really interesting that a game that was overlooked among its contemporaries can be re-released and be so well regarded today - do you think it might be worth revisiting games like this in this context? I'd think they'd make for some interesting discussions! What other games do you think might have been overlooked that people today would enjoy if they liked Live A Live?

I love Live A Live

Cant wait to put these on my SNES classic!

- Gunman's Proof - Ys - Mask Of The Sun

Was deciding what translated gems to buy, and Live A Live, and Rudra are the winners thanks man.😆👍

the only mention of alcahest on youtube ,that I'm aware of..thank you snesdrunk

I love this show

i got myself a treasure of rudras repro, cant wait to play this :D

Rudra sounds freaking awesome! why have i never heard of this?

Your videos are awesome. I don't know if you have ever had a game review on "Famicom Tantei Club Part II - Ushiro ni Tatsu Shoujo" for the Super Famicom or not. If not, you may want to check it out. It is a very interesting game with intrigue and dialogue. It may be a potential game review to add to your collection.

Perhaps it was fate that I found you guys and watched the reviews around the time of modding my SNES Classic, Live A Live clicked with me and I added to my Classic and it works amazing I also added Gunman’s proof since it looked fun and a different take on Zelda and the colors are very nice and bright, it looks like a GBA game on the SFC. If anyone is curious or has any questions about the games I have and if they work, simply reply.

I´ve been checking your channel and i like it, i hope you cover more japanese games like cyber knight 1&2 in the future. i´m subscribing ;)

Definitely gonna look for Treasure of Rudra

ty for listing these

excelente video man! keep up plz ! have a good day sir

Live a Live looks right up my alley. I'm a huge Dragon Quest 4 fan, especially how it's told in chapters before the group gets together, so Live a Live sounds great. Same goes for Treasure but other reviews made the game's magic system seem very complicated. You explained it much better, so I'll have to check it out as well!

I want your review of the new Live a Live man. Please, give this to us! I'm playing it and loving!

awesome games :D

Great list thanks for finishing it. I thought Live-A-Live and Alcahest looked really interesting.

Very pertinent now

Live a live is the most anime rpg ever created. Kon ODIO da!

i loved treasure of rudras, graphically the game was amazing for snes and the music is great, i also like how the enemies and characters are animated during the fight, its amazing what some consoles can do towards the end of their generation, I liked the story and seems like a lengthy game i still havnt beat it. I wouldnt call it a final fantasy clone cuz well it was also made by squaresoft anyway lol. I wont lie there is just something about the squaresoft rpgs around this time they were soo good and other rpgs came close but just didnt have that feeling squaresoft always did, snes - ps1 square rpgs were the best!

Alcahest is a fun little ARPG. The music is fantastic, composed by the same person who made Kirby's Super Star.

Once again for some reason Nintendo does not want my money. Just translate these to english. I don't care if they're 20 years old I'll still buy them.

One of the few jrpg for the SNES I don’t own. I’m very tempted to get it if u can pick it up for a reasonable price which is getting harder these days

Interpretations of your list: Japan- Good old classics list America- W.T.F.

except for the y's games, this entire list made me feel jelly.

make a part 6 to this pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

You need to check out Emerald Dragon, it was a great snes RPG, and there is a good english translation patch.

I'm a simple man, i see Live A Live i click

I watched the video. When it was done, I had to ask myself one question. Why are there not more caveman rpgs?

I love chaos seed and live a live (though I don't think is for everybody), mystic ark, aside from the music, is just average to me, and treasure of rudras looks really promising

This is a cool list, but I was wondering if you are going to make a part 4 to cover some more gems on the SFC. Ones I don't think you've covered are Dark Half, Der Langrisser (My favorite SRPG), Fire Emblem, Tactics Ogre, Dragon Quest V&VI, Albert Odyssey, Popful Mail, FEDA and Emerald Dragon.

Does somebody knows what's the song playing in the first seconds of the video? Love to watch and play these mega obscure RPGs, mainly from SNES and Playstation. And this video series has some of the best stuff around internet about them. Great job!

9:02 caught you saying "SHMUP"

5:30 slave knight gael doing what he does best :D

Rudra is the best game of this list

These are all great. It such a shame to let them rot in history. Why do companys not re-release them?

What is the name of the song that play in beginning of the video? 0:03 - 0:23

Now that LiveALive is on switch will you gove it a full video ?

7th saga was HARD as hell, ¿what about MA? haven't played it.

Here's a couple questions for you: In what manner did you manage to play these games? (via emulator or romhack/repro carts, or a combination of both?) For someone who isn't really well versed in emulators, fan translations, and what have you. What would your recommended sources be? (where should I get this awesome shit?)

Live Alive...

Great series. Btw, Tensei is pronounced like Ten-say not Ten-sai . "TensAi" means genius and it's a completely different word. Edit: whoops, didn't notice this videos is years old and you already corrected the issue. Silly me.

Nintendo announced the remake of live-a-live this year and I feel bad for you because they pronounce it differently.

In ancient China and aged martial artist lives high atop a windy peak......👴🏯🌬🏔

Ys 5 sounds infinitely better than ys 4 based on combat mechanic alone.

Why is he playing the old live a live translation

Is alcahest easily playable without the translation if u do not know japanese? As i notice the japanese carts aren't too expensive and i dun like emulating, prefer using a cart.

Wow Live A Live looks amazingly strange

When saying the name Adol you may want to make sure the following word in the sentence doesn't start with an F

Mask of The Sun is pretty bad aside from its plot, I highly recommend playing Dawn and then watching a Mask playthrough instead if you can stand the combat.

This is one of your videos with higher views. Why not continue?

I always hated combat system in ys. You're telling me you'd rather bumb into enemies indiscriminately then have a sword and shield and actually fight enemy?

Gorram. As opposed to the first list, I honestly wasn't familiar with a single one of these titles! How did so many good SNES games escape NA releases?? The NA library is pretty good as it stands, but it's a shame the market didn't have a place for these niche RPGs.

I don't remember in which order but Mystic Ark and Brain lord they are sequels one is a sequel to the 7th Saga, 7th Saga was the first in the series but I could never remember which one was the the second one and which one is the third one it either goes (7th Saga, Mystic Ark, Brain Lord) OR (7th Saga, Brain Lord, Mystic Ark) it's one of the two I just can't remember.

For Live A Live: NO MOney or magic? How is that fun?

"If you like 7th Saga you'll like Mystic Ark"? So, it's horrifically, sadistically difficult to the point of being actually unbalanced as well, is it?

Exist another live a live hack rom? Except touhou a live

Good video, but one thing: Japanese isn't pronounced like German. "ei" is pronounced more like a long A sound (as in "bake"), not a long I (like in "stein").
