Line 6:
The plot itself is an interesting example of [[The Rashomon]]. The chapters of the game each draw on influences from different sources, as wide and varied as 80's anime, spaghetti Westerns, fighting games, ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' and ''[[Aliens]]'', to name but a few. The game tends to [[Played for Drama|play these tropes straight]] for the most part, but at times subverts them just as happily.
'''''Live a Live''''' also deviates somewhat from the usual Squaresoft games when it comes to the battle system, being somewhere between standard turn-based combat and a ''Tactics''-style system. Although the battle system stays the same throughout the game, each chapter has its own distinct atmosphere and art style. They are, in chronological order:
* The prehistoric slapstick comedy romance chapter, starring Pogo the green-haired caveman and his monkey friend.
Line 80:
* [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: The Xin Shan Quan Master's chapter, with the Xuan Ya Lian Shan Quan. {{spoiler|In the Final Chapter, however, once you learn this with the surviving pupil, you can use this multiple times, thus making it an [[Infinity+1 Sword|Infinity Plus One Skill]]}}.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The Master, in the Ancient China chapter; you do not name the Master, you name his fighting style. He is just referred as The Master.
* [[Evil
* [[Expy]]: Sundown is quite similar to [[Dollars Trilogy|Man With No Name]].
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|Straybow, and later Oersted}}.
