- Bad Endings. I don't know about anyone else, but they terrify me. Just when the hero(es) thought everything was finally right, just when it looked like peace had finally returned to the world, something happens that, at best, creates a bittersweet victory and, at worst, spoils everything and the enemies win, despite everything that happened throughout your adventure. Bad endings don't give you any second chances, you screwed things up for everyone and you must pay dearly...

Many give in to hatred, that was the exact message of the knight chapter in which such hate simply made another monster, the author and director of this video game work took inspiration from other superhero stories mainly one of which being Devilman.
you know you messed up when the silent protagonist *talks*
Once there was an evil demon knight. He was so evil that everyone died. The end.
LMAO, nice one!
Luigiofthegods "That didn't help at all." :'(
Gotta love classic Spongebob!
SpongeBob reference. Gotta love Patrick and his stupidity.
I've been trying to get the guy from Screen Junkies to say: Once there was an ugly barnacle...etc. for a long time now. Honestly, don't care if they take it from somebody else's comment, just as long as I can hear him say it!

*reads catlover67803's comment* *glances over to Roy*
hOi! WelCOmE tO tHa tEm sHop
Shit
Cuz they become stronger.
You know... I legitimately feel horrible for Oersted. He was unfairly vilified by the people, tricked into murdering the king, betrayed by his "best friend" simply because he was sick of not having any glory for himself, when Oersted deserved the glory, basically had his love turn on him and refuse to hear him out...
He really embodies the saying "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain".
He is such a tragic character
>Oersted really embodies the saying “You either die a Hero or live long enough to see yourself become the Villain”
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Also I’d like to add that in the title “Live A Live” if you take the time out to think about it literally there’s “eviL” in the second part which must be a secret intentional name for our boy Oersted and his Tragic Story.
To be fair he could at least try to speak up when being accussed
That wouln't change the fact that he really did murder the King and came back without two of his partners.
And he became the villain...
Sometimes the hero wins and everyone gets a happy ending, but sometimes the hero can do everything right and yet due to human selfishness, misunderstanding, and mistrust it can all go wrong. It is easy to be a hero when the world is inherently good, but it is much harder when the world has those who would betray you or those who won't listen to you. Oersted was a good man whose life was destroyed in a day by his best friend and by the woman he loved. And because of this he turned to hatred, and became a the very monster he set out to destroy. The real tragedy of it all is that in the end, he didn't get a hero's death after all of his suffering, he died in a room surrounded by heroes who never suffered his hardship and monuments to his hatred, and his last words are a desperate plea to not give into hatred like he did before he fades away.
P.S. The princess is a complete bitch. She not only doesn't give Oersted the time to explain what is going on, she cheats on him with this best friend just because he got there first and then stabs herself right in front of somebody who cares for her and who she said she loved earlier. She and that traitorous bastard Straybow belong together in hell.
Well, Straybow's still an ass.
+Charlie McFarlin alicia is the main villain. in a sense, she sacrificed herself to summon the demon king
I'm angry at Alicia too, she just seemed really dumb, I still hate Straybow more though, devising a plan to put his friend into total despair & have him killed off due to petty jealously & how Alicia said " Oh boo hoo, you have no idea how awful it is to be the loser all the time." Jesus, not only is Straybow a backstabbing prick, but also a manipulator to get his way.. Ugh. I still feel sorry for Orsted. Yes, he did destroy the universe basically & yes, he did give in to the despair & hatred in the end, but honestly, who wouldn't go into a hate/despair driven insanity after everything you ever done, ever had, ever loved was ripped way from you by someone who was a close friend?
The sad truth is that, you are only a hero when the rest see you as one, you will never be a hero if you stop the world's demise secretly, this was true for both Straybow and Oersted
@@purindanshaku So... fucking NTR with a manipulative-rapist in less than a day from being separated of a guy you loved is being innocent? . . . Sorry but this bitch deserved not only to die. But to suffer eternally in the darkest pit of hell
I feel bad about making this joke, but...
Uranus died in prison. How apt.
whoisthisgit He left quite an Odio when he died. X.X kill me
***** I Masaru that one coming. let the not puns commence
damn that sucks
whoisthisgit
Well, at least he went *_Out-With_*_ a bang!_
***** oh..OK XD
Oersted. They guy who fought while there was at least one person to believe in him.
But in the end, there was no one.
I'm sorry, but even after all the things he has done, I can't hate him.
Kajuker I know what you mean. The only thing I feel for him is sorrow. A couple of his friends die helping him, one of his friends betrays him and then Oersted has to kill him, and the princess kills herself because she left Oersted for the guy who saved her. What a cheating bitch! If I was in Oersted's position I would have probably done the same thing, honestly.
Frodo laughs at you me too.
Frodo laughs at you In general this game is just an interesting look at human philosophy. Is what Oersted did the right thing to do? Fuck no. Is it the thing that everyone WOULD have done given his circumstances? Of course. Does that justify him turning into the destroyer of time and space? Not quite.
Philosophy is an interweaving mess of rights and wrongs, and this game perfectly demonstrates that. It's impressive really.
+Kajuker
I really like the morals in this game, Schwarzman. I really feel like as if it changed me. I doubt you would understand though, you're just a pair of cracked glasses. Did you just swallow your gum?
+Frodo laughs at you Wait-how exactly did SHE die? I thought she was lying there.
Did you notice how the Knight chapter is the only one in the game that doesn't give you a brief synopsis of what you'll have to face?
The moment you see what happens to poor Oerstead, it all becomes clear why that synopsis isn't there. Truly haunting.
in the remake there is a very generic description of "a hero sets out to save princess" which can also make you feel wrong since other stories, short or simple as they are, are given longer descriptions
@@wumelaex387and the titles for the stories allude to the protagonists. At first, you’d think “The Lord of Dark” was chosen because “The Hero” was WAY too generic, so they decide to focus on the bad guy instead, but then the story ends with Oersted becoming the bad guy.
That was darker than most SNES RPGs.
No wonder it never hit U.S. shores.
*Mother 3*
Bad word maybe ?
Flamingo - Kun and Itarks ! No because Nintendo could just remove it in localiziatiin.
Zaki: *exists*
Localization team: *ignores Live-A-Live*
Orested got the shaft the hardest out of everyone. In every ending, he suffers through no fault of his own. And all due to what WAS his best friend being a petty jealous jerkass who sold him out because he sucks too hard at life and an idiot gullible princess who didn't even try to hear him out and didn't really believe in him in the end. Not all humans suck, but BOY this is a fine example of humanity at its worst.
I've never felt so bad for an antagonist, just started it this year and man, they don't make games like this anymore.
@@casual_elitist i agree with you on that couldn't find a game with decent story with great characters dying /suffering in it but i did find a game called the witch's house trust me when i tell you no good ending in that game shit is fucked in it but anyways i just can't help but feel like shit for what they did to my boy oersted just so sad bro :(
@@xylose848 Nah, every time you die in witch house thats good ending
@@xylose848 It's why I never bothered actually getting the true ending.
On the true ending path, I just let Viola kill me, then exited out and uninstalled the game.
@@KitsuneYojimbo
yep thats the actual real ending XD
Straybow: Oersted.....give it everything you've got.
I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU IF YOU GO EASY ON ME!!!
*Oersted doesn't hold back an wins*
Straybow:YOU'VE RUINED EVERYTHING! EVEN IN THE TOURNAMENT!
Bitch, you're the one who asked for him not to hold back....!
Agreed!
Pogo's way of talking with people is absolutely flawless, though. I can arleady picture that.
''Dammit, Pogo, our investment rates are going down low! We need to do something *NOW!* What do you suggest?''
''!!....L....L!...LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!''
''Holy shit, we've never thought of that before! You're a GENIUS! You saved us all!''
I would argue every speach odio makes is also flawless.
Not just the become a demon speech
But the "Say goodbye to this sinful world of pain and woe" speech was also nice.
and his realisation and if you choose him for the finale aswell.
Pogo: "confused unga bunga"
You were expecting a dinosaur, but it was me! Odio!
KONO ODIO DA
WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYY
WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYY
WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYY
Za Warudo!
Choosing Cube for the finale makes the confrontation cutscene kinda hilarious. I mean, Oersted is ranting about his motivations and demanding answers from a mute robot who just stares at him and can't respond verbally :P
"They all deserve this!"
*beep bloop*
It's a shame there wasn't a coffee maker anywhere nearby.
Oersted became the demon king, and yet he was still more redeemable than Straybow.
Both were puppets of the hateful one, Odio the demon king, but Oersted had a stronger heart and was the better demon king boss.
Also a cooler demon king boss then Straybow:
*I'm gonna turn this bar into a beehive!*
No, not at all.
@@SeventhheavenDK wat
Developers: This story is so deep.... LETS GO DEEPER!
Me: (Mind blown into Jupiter)
Why not uranus? :P
I didn't want to hurt him.
+Azureth Puppy he dies anyway
I know.
Yay, He chose Yuan in the Kung Fu chapter! :D
When Pogo(a caveman who can only say the word "Love") actually makes a valid point to Oersted/Odio.
"The power of friendship/love can solve anything"
Love and Hate (Odio) being total opposites makes this even better.
I honestly kinda wish orsted lashed out at pogo’s answer, as love was supposed to help him in his time of need (someone believing in him), but in the end no one did due to straybow’s selfishness
Straybow just destroyed Oersted's life. He made Oersted kill the king to get the hate from the world and while in prison he went to the princess. I feel bad for him, I can't hate him because everything was so effin' unfair
He begins to realize the horrible, horrible nature of his misdeeds after his death. If you find his soul in the last chapter, he'll say something to Akira about it.
Persona
@@MrDarkmario777 You can also find Alicia who realised she'd been tricked too iirc, angry at herself and at Straybow. Had Straybow not been such a b'stard, Alicia would have not been manipulated into turning her back on Oersted.
Big oof
Odio: Finish Me...
The Player:
Option A: Uhoo!
Option B: Blabla!
Well, he was playing as the caveman
Honestly... Oersted got his life FUCKED UP.... won a contest, feel in love with a princess only to have her captured (by his friend(?)) tries to save her and fails... thinks he sees the actual demon king, but its actually his own king that he just butchered... and the (second to) last person to believe in him... died. THEN EVERYBODY IN THE FUCKING KINGDOM (Except for the one kid) HATED HIS GUTS... So he thought he would save the princess to show everyone hes not a bad guy... he faces his fears to save his princess only to come face to face with his (Asshole, who also is a pansy) friend who reveals that he set it up... so they have a fight to the death... he wins sees the princess only to have her yell "GET AWAY FROM ME"
Just think if you tried to save the life of the girl you loved, and you had nothing else to go back to since everybody thinks you're a murderer (And objectively, they are not wrong) you had to face your fears came face to face with you friend and had to kill him (Even if he was an asshole, it would still hurt) but you saw the girl that you love and thought just for a second "I did it... I saved her life" and then have her shout at you to get away... Fuck man... and not only that she proceeds with saying she was in love with your recently deceased asshole friend... and then she kills herself...
This is not just him giving up in his frustration... he must have been feeling total despair... I mean, the man had nothing to live for anymore, the one fairy tale he clenched onto with his life just shattered right before him... he has nothing left... He cant cope with everything he is feeling and blames all of his problems on humanity... and so he decides to become the demon king... Its fucking tragic...
Side note:
I have no idea how Straybow got Alicia to fall in love with him, but i think it was some form of emotional manipulation... some scumbag shit for sure... or at least that is how i interpreted it
And even sadder is the fact that he was still in love with the princess (As can be seen in the bad ending where the last word he says is Alicia)
+Aidan Fenton
That might only be with Pogo. I could be wrong, though.
One of his second forms attacks is called "Saint Alicia" as well, as seen in the video. Damn Oersted, you couldn't be more wrong.
Kai Hyouookami
I think he doesnt actually believe she's a saint. Remember he hates all of humanity.
It's a mockery.
Notice how it starts off looking like he's casting a healing spell, with the stars descending and a saintly figure appearing.... before it all burns and the figure turns into a howling figure whose scream damages the player.
It's like Odio is literally transferring the pain of his experience to the heroes. He wants to show them what humanity has done to him and this is one of the main points in his argument.
Such a beautiful idea rolled up into an attack. It's one of my favorite attacks in all of video games.
Maybe Alicia loved straybow in the first place though, and only pretended to be contempt with oersted. I mean, since she was 'won' in a contest, it probably wouldn't be true love.
Y'know, had Straybow at least tried to iron out his diferences with Oersted and let him know how he felt while sorting things out, lots of tragedies might have been averted here. Poor comunication kills, indeed.
He'd probably feel even more pathetic for admitting to it, he'd assume he'd get nothing but pity.
@Order & Chaos Maybe isn't enough! In fact, it's crap! He should have settled things with Oersted and talked to him privately and more importantly with himself. If he goes out of his way to set up his former friend because of because a woman who didn't even have a say in this arranged marriage among other things, then it shows that he was pettier, dishonest, and more so than Oersted was before his descent. Furthermore, he was too insecure to realize that not only Oersted was honorable in their battle and beat him fair and square and should have honored what he told his friend should he lose, that his insecurity was his problem that he should have dealt with. Instead, he goes through with his insidious plan because he was tired of being second. News flash, that may be a lot of people, but this guy put lives at risk because he was jealous and has to nerve to blame it on a knight who went on trying to be a hero!
Hah, Straybow even refuses to take any responsibility in all this. In Akira's dungeon in the end you can see the ghosts of some of the characters of Orsterd's chapter, and Good ol' Straybow questions that "maybe" it was his actions that caused Orsterd to go down this dark path,
PegasusBrill (Tick Tock)
yes.
"maybe" it was his fault that the king is killed.
"maybe" it was his fault that Uranus got killed.
"maybe" it was his fault that princess died.
"maybe" it was his fault that his "friend" turned evil
"maybe" it was his fault that his "friend" hated humans
"maybe" it was his fault for risking the lives of *billions* of people
maybe
Whats Akiras dungeon?
Chong Leng Li I assume it's one of the character specific dungeons in the final chapter.
Straybow is an ass ( im late i know)
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN BY “good” ol’ STRAWYBOW??!?! STRAWYBOW IS A SHITHEAD!!!
I love how if you choose the evil route, the game literally gives you an "I win" button
Another interesting observation that I haven't seen anyone else make: To further drive home Oersted being the prototypical main character, he's also modeled after the Fighter/Knight class from the original _Final Fantasy_. Even has the blonde hair like they do in the remakes.
also odio kinda sounds like the spanish word for hate
DLJB odio is latin for hate
Man....
Classic JRPGs never cease to amaze me with their ability to mindfuck people. I wish this game had been released in the West and I had played it when I was a kid.
Well man guess what
17:55 "Why didn't you come for me!"
HE DID COME FOR YOU! Did you think he went all the way to the top of an evil tower and fought his former best friend for a carnival ride!
"You could never understand how awful it is to always be the loser!"
A: Says the princess who was going to marry said winner.
B: That doesn't excuse screwing your best friend over!
Am I the only one who was ticked off at that? I wouldn't mind if she at least tried to hear him out.
"You know your boyfriend had the King cloaked as the Demon and led me to unintentionally commit regicide, right? If not for that, your father would still be alive." ← Oersted, if he wasn't run down and already filled to the brim with despair.
I can't really blame him for not responding like this, though. I know that I wouldn't have it in me after I accidentally killed the king; was branded the traitor of an entire nation; saw two of my comrades die; and I just killed my closest friend after he revealed himself as a green-eyed backstabber who orchestrated my fall from grace. I dare say that if I were in his position, I would have become the King of Demons as well. :/
@me and my brother calm down odio
@@deffdefying4803 Actually, Filip is right. No matter what Oersted says nobody will believe him, much less Alicia, because there's *no evidence* that when he killed the King the King looked like the Demon King.
@Help Me makes sense
@Help Me this is disgustingly similar to an NTR plot. I'm siding even more with Oersted now
The previous heroes that slew the Demon King being disillusioned and disgruntled is a big foreshadowing to what Oersted will suffer later.
It's interesting how this game presents itself. On the surface it doesn't seem that dark. And the choice in setting is most appealing to kids that would play it. What kid doesn't want to be a cowboy, or sneak around as a ninja, or fight as a robot?
But hoo boy, that last scenario turns things on it's head....It takes all the standard RPG storyline tropes and presents them straight at first, then screws you over. When I played this game, I was floored at the way this game ended.
And don't forget the ancient china level
At least the kung fu level is still optimistic. The Shifu already got his resolve unlike Oersted.
What is interesting is Live A Live is the first known example of a disguised horror story in a video game which is way before Doki Doki Literature Club!, the visual novel that popularised said genre. Better yet, Squaresoft (the SFC version of this game's original publisher) in 1994 did not need to advertise the disguised horror story portion.
A game where you are the boss(es) would be fun, screw being the hero!
Also, at the endings
Ostred: "what is the difference between you and me?"
Pogo: "I don't mostly talk in text, besides, I am not breaking the 4th wall"
*screen shatters*
You might like Nefarious. It’s literally just what you described, be the villain, kidnap princesses, operate boss mechs, and take over the world!
Congratulations, you have just turned the mostly wordless character into a hypocrite and, less importantly, broken the world! XD
1: that would be awesome
2: Pogo: "...well shit"
Me: Stone Cold, what did you do to the screen?
Stone Cold: What?
as funny as it might be I find the fact that he says his signature "LOOOOOVE!" to be a valid answer to every question asked
Comment section is full of people who feel for Oestred. This game's awesome story affected me though, I want Square Enix to make a remake of this game. It totally deserves that.
Doğan Kürşat Aktaş I'm happy to own a copy of this, even though it's a reproduction cart, still I'm glad!
I mean... Oersted was unfairly vilified, forced to murder the king without so much as a chance to explain himself, stabbed in the back by the man who claimed to be his best friend and even the woman he loved ran off with the bastard. He literally lost everything. If that doesn't break you, I don't know what would.
Doğan Kürşat Aktaş with an extra ending with Oersted getting something happy would be good
One of the best game i have encountered according to Storyline. It surely deserves ALOT of Recognition for that. Poor Oersted became Odio til he knew most people are nothing but liars and Traitors, affecting his mental state, his mind and his emotion. And the ones who were really important for him and trusted him died.
If they remake this, the stories should be longer.
I find amusing that the final boss, the one that represents hatred is named odio, considering that odio is hatred in spanish.
natxope07 Funny thing, all the final plot bosses of each chapter throughout the game have Odio in there name in some respect
so much hatred in that game, I have to try it.
natxope07 Its an amazing game. I recommend you try it.
natxope07 I think that was a conscious choice by Square. ;)
Deuzen well, i dont think it was accidental, it surely had some thought behind.
You know, if you choose Oboro for the finale, it makes it hilarious when you recruit Akira. Why? Because, when you recruit Akira, he says that he's dealt with "shadier folks than you". If you're playing as Oboro, then Akira's basically telling you that the Crusaders are more dubious than a ninja! How crazy is that?
Ninjas like Oboro are honorable good guys, duh... :3
dont forget the military.
Technically he fought a evol statue god so...
Also, it's "Ode Iou", not "Ode Lou".
This is when we can say "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
So anyone coming back to these Live a Live videos after the recent announcement that they're Finally making this game available worldwide?
I'm here after playing the demo for the remake.
The whole thing was one hell of a story throughout. Honestly, I wouldn't mind a remake for this, just so more people will get to see it. Dunno if it's just me, but damn.
+Kaosorer Definitely! As a massive RPG fan myself I really do want to play this game after seeing this, didn't even know this hidden Gem existed until this video! :D
Either a re-release or a remake is in order.
RedEyeSD Agreed,
+Kaosorer The creator expressed interest in remaking this game in an interview once.
+Thiago ™ Really? When was that?
Not doubting you BTW just curious, how awesome if true! :D
Thiago ™ Oh really? Do you have any sources? I'm actually really interested in it. This game took a pretty unique way of starting the game- Which, albeit, not exclusive to this game, is underutilized in a lot of games, and the story in this game was amazing, IMO.
Wow... it's like the rpg version of the killing Joke... "It only takes a bad day" as it only took a really bad day for Oersted to become Odio and thus the king of demons.
I'm legit sad
Live is evil backwards.
Mind blown!
ASA[x] Productions LOL. That explains everything!
ASA[x] Productions Just like the Black Sabbath album!
Which makes this game "Evil Alive".
ASA[x] Productions Live Aevil? ...No, that's not a good name? Damn.
+Bloom that is redundant redundance
I'm going to start calling my punches "pissed fists" from now on.
"Sad End"
Oersted: Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions.
if you think Garfield should watch his back, Odie is one letter off from matching perfectly
It's even more strange after watching Gorfield.
Not to mention how one of Odio's incarnations is literally called "Odie" Oldbright.
Garfield, Do you think you can win against a GATLING GUN?
@Noel T. Lat This comment was made a year before the official release.
@Noel T. Lat Heh, it’s all good.
You expected a normal RPG settings. But it was I, Odio!
What a fascinating game.
Hey, you finally covered this forgotten gem!
YES.
17:16 - You did this on purpose, didn't you?
LunarRay I think that might be the highest amount of HP Oersted can have.
whoisthisgit Oh, really?
Well played, Square.
Yeah. TOTALLY NOT OUT OF PLACE!
*sees super mario rpg*
OK, now that's just out of place now that I think about it.
Cool-ass foreshadowing
has anyone noticed the Oersted has 666 HP?
+Minrod Vils (The night gamer) Holy crap its true
+Minrod Vils (The night gamer) I know that your post is two months old, but yep. Not just his hp, but his MP too. Makes sense now.
+Len1million lol
+Len1million I'm guessing he didn't realize the bottom number is max HP.

Truuuuuu
O_O... I think that's the darkest Square's ever gotten. Especially when compared to games during that era like FF6 and Chrono trigger.
f1s53r Same here with Secret of Mana
Valkyrie Profile (an Enix and later SE game) makes this look like Sesame Street. Any of the Valkyrie Profile games do, really. How dark, you ask? In the first game, characters have to DIE before they join your party, and you're forced to witness their final moments. One NPC loses all of her friends (who become party members) and is last seen standing at the edge of a cliff. In the second one, a princess is exiled from her own kingdom, is forced to live with another personality inside of her, is betrayed, watches her father get executed, is forced to turn herself into an undead, and her reward for saving all of existence is death. Don't even get me started on the third game.
@@alkristopher Tbh it doesn't sound much worse than this plot
"I'm going to have trouble trusting anyone with o,d and i in their names"
Oh, dear LORD.
oh god not anothrr jojo reference
Sorry for u man :V
Garfield better watch his back
This game is actually pretty dark, especially given the era. Akira's whole story line is really demented as well and seeing the Captain Square glitch before Cube's final fight can only be appreciated after playing his scenario.
A fantastic gem of a game.
...It's not Oersted's fault...those fucking people...Straybow...everyone betrayed him...even the girl he loved...she obviously didn't love him back, if she did, she would've at LEAST heard Oersted out! *sighs* I'm sorry...I jut REALLY REALLY REALLY hate when a main character falls to the dark side...ESPECIALLY WHEN THE REASON FOR HIS FALL WAS THE IGNORANCE AND SELFISHNESS OF THE PEOPLE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT AND/OR HIS FRIENDS AND ALLIES!
ULTIMATZEKROM What good is a dark side that you can't somewhat agree with?
Forklauncher True...doesn't mean that it's right...
ULTIMATZEKROM The difference between the light side and the dark side is how many people consider it to be right... but we're getting into some serious philosophical bullshit.
Forklauncher Yeah...it's so deep Adele's rolling in it
+Forklauncher right and worng depends on who tells the story if voldemort was the main character then he would be right and just and harry would be seen as evil the quote by winston churchill: history is written by the victors: applies here if the nazis won ww2 then britain and america would be the bad guys not japan and germany
Why was Cube called Lub on the finale protagonist select?
Lub Lub, is that you?
Max Morgan = Hulk Hogan
*SPOILERS BELOW IF YOU PLAN ON PLAYING THE REMAKE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.*
Oersted seriously deserved better. He was absolutely screwed over big time, with the lousy advice Uranus had instilled into him, his supposed "friend" Straybow orchestrating his fall from grace, and the princess Alicia completely crushing his last scraps of hope by siding with Straybow of all people, essentially saying that her belief in Oersted was either a lie or extremely fickle at best.
Uranus kept preaching about not losing hope as long as someone believed in Oersted.... but what was he supposed to do when confronted with the thought of no one left that actually believed in him? That's something that he failed to take into account for all his talk of believing in others.... so ultimately, Uranus was wrong in this case.
I cannot and will not blame Oersted for ultimately giving up on humanity at that point. He might've been held to a massive standard as a hero... but the reality was that he was human too before succumbing to evil, and there is only so much one man can take before ultimately snapping. All of Lucretia essentially got what they deserved, but it was the fact that he spread his influence out across all time that necessitated his destruction at the hands of the seven heroes.
Was it right to massacre so many in his hatred? Of course not.... but if one ended up getting unfairly shafted as much as he had, they'd probably want to do the same thing.
A truly tragic and sorrowful end for a once heroic knight.
That's my take on the whole thing with him. Thanks for reading.
Yeah, the whole thing is set up to highlight what led to Odio's creation - Oersted losing hope in humanity. Even Hash and Uranus are excellent examples - Hash's decision to close his heart is effectively demonstrated to be the right choice, (IIRC, he gets the plague because he leaves quarantine) and Uranus, similarly, returns to a life of heroism only to be tortured and then killed by the guards. Abandoning the path of selfishness killed them, and it's Oersted's intentions as a hero that lured them back to the path of righteousness, the ideals of which betrayed them all. Oersted must have come to the conclusion that they weren't just correct to have given up on humanity, but *hadn't gone far enough,* as the selfishness of humanity pulled them right back in when a hero was needed again.
tl;dr: Hash and Uranus aren't just there to set up the whole "As long as one person believes in you" bit, they're *object lessons* to Oersted as to why his ideals had been a lie and humanity needed to die. Their unjust fates help lead to his new worldview.
Except it's implied Hash already had the plague,and only came along because he wanted to die in last wind of heroism.As for Uranus,advice he said to Oersted proved to be true,as the fan Boy of Oersted still believed in him despite all the carnage,and Oersted managed to break free from his Hatred in the remake ending.
Spoilers are literally the reason i played this game at all this video made me buy it twice. sucks the remake of this vid got deleted.
"Game: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U"
What the fuck CZcams?
+Pootis Heavy Is Pootis I originally mentioned the game in the description as an advertisement for a collaboration channel.
Well, guess that makes sense.
It's unsettling playing as the bosses and easily defeating the characters you stayed so long with.
Breath of Fire 4?
@@JMRM4 BoF 4 may as well be a bad end overall. Even if you get the 'good end'. Yuna gets off scot free. And the world no longer has the dragons to protect them. The ending annoyed me because it fell on the annoying 'humans are capable of handling themself' end trope. Which they clearly cant.
@@zanrath91 true, it's really hateful if "slimy mad scientists" gets to run away just to make the main characters life harder. I guess they have better plot armor than typical shounen protagonists.
@@JMRM4 BOF 4 is a rare game I prefer the bad ending to the good ending. In the 'bad' ending. Sure, you kill your party member. But as far as the world is concerned. It's saved. Pretty sure yuna wouldn't get away with his crimes so easily in the bad ending.
Granted, humanity is prettymuch implied fucked in either case. Either death by spiteful god. Or death by human folly. Personally, I never liked such catch 22 endings.
FUCKING.
SHIT.
THIS CHAPTER IS DARK.
man. . .That's like the equivalent to being mario, and you're betrayed by luigi, who then gets peach after all the shit you've been through just to save her. That would make you really hate luigi, huh?
And then you give Luigi a Game Over, which makes Peach jump into a pit and lose her last life too, and then Mario snaps and pays every Boo in existence to steal everyone's stars in vengeance!
No, Oersted wasn't THAT evil.
King Shoutmon you mean wario Land 1?
You mean like in that one Creepypasta called I HATE YOU.exe? (That's actually what it's called)
@@AuraStrikeAce What about the rom hack "Super Mario World YEAH!!"? That game also had Luigi fight Mario since he was tired of being the king of second bananas.
Hope this prepares everyone for the upcoming Switch adaptation of Live A Live.
I see Alicia's getting a lot of flak in the comments, so I wanna say that I don't hate her, nor am I angry at her for what she did (I sure was shocked, though). Yes, what she did was wrong and she did them for silly reasons, but I actually empathize with her a bit. Why? Because...watch out, tl;dr opinions incoming.
1. We never see any siblings, nor a Queen, so it's possible that the King's wife died at some point, leaving him with an only child, thus driving him to coddle and shelter his precious princess and only heir to his throne from that pesky outside world, to the point of making her fatally naive. Papa holds a tournament to determine who her husband will be. She gets to marry the strongest man, and daddy can relax knowing his little girl is in capable hands. Alicia gets a husband that she knows will be able to protect her, thus she loves and trusts Oersted unconditionally.
2. Demons happen and take her away. She waits for her beloved to come rescue her, only for Straybow to show up instead. He probably had plenty of time to tell her a sob story about how he's a loser at everything and deserving of her utmost sympathy, while Oersted is a smug butt so full of himself because of how much he wins at life, that he decided to take his sweet time getting to her, essentially painting him as the kind of guy she would be utterly miserable to be the wife of, but Straybow came for her because of TRUE LOVE and showers her with all kinds of lovey-dovey bilge! Gullible, naive Alicia doesn't know any better than to think he couldn't possibly be lying to a princess, and decides it must be true love because Straybow is her real hero.
3. Oersted kills Straybow. Alicia was so thoroughly whisked into the passion of Straybow's sweet talking, that she can't imagine having to live her life without her true love and getting married to this horrible monster that killed him! She doesn't even want to hear what he has to say because she's so upset! Better to die than suffer as the wife of Straybow's murderer for the rest of her life! Good thing she had that weapon in her pocket, it saved her from a terrible fate.
I realize this is all just speculation on my part, and I could be completely wrong about everything, but I think it's possible that Alicia was innocent enough to believe whatever Straybow told her, and that she was just as naive about what love is to think Straybow was the one truly meant for her, and Oersted robbed her of the perceived happy ending Straybow may have been filling her head with. I'm not trying to justify her actions, but I am trying to say that she could've been taken advantage of by a manipulative man, didn't know any better to realize it, didn't have the emotional maturity to really think things through, and maybe isn't wholly worth the amount of scorn everyone's giving her for what she did.
Vevina Candilla Very well written, articulate post! Well said and to be honest I actually do agree with you but didn't know how to articulate it as better as you did. :)
I'm no Alicia Fan either but to be frank it's Straybow I completely blame for this entire mess not her, the calculated backstabbing traitorous bastard of a "friend". True she didn't help and was the final straw which broke the camels back (IE Oersted's Sanity) but like you rightly pointed out, it's possible she's more likely a sheltered gullible girl who didn't know any better.
Then again we could BOTH be wrong on this but hey if we're proven wrong and it turns out Alicia was the true calculated one the whole time then at least we'll be proven wrong together! ;)
Aw, shucks, thank you! I'm glad I was able to unwittingly speak for someone else in the process of speaking for myself. I do indeed feel the blame should be focused on Straybow, since he apparently had an agenda to ruin Oersted's life by turning literally everyone against him, all because he was jelly.
Though, it would be really funny if Alicia actually was the true endgame villain. The Heroes of Time defeat Oersted, then Alicia shows up and is all like "I was the demon all along! BLARR!" *Trueforms*
Honestly that would make Alicia kind of a badass haha (in a "love to hate" villainess way of course)! :D Now that would make the blame and dislike towards her more justifiable IMO.
But then wouldn't that mean Straybow is the mis-understood one? O_o Oh hell NO I refuse to make that douche into a victim!
+RedEyeSD Alicia is still a bitch in the end, even if it was not really her fault.
I don't feel she's merited the female dog title, for my above stated reasons. I feel the really derogatory comments are better suited for Straybow, but that's just me. :)
I've played Live A Live a couple of times but damn, after hearing Oerstead say: "Maybe love is all I ever wanted" in the end, is soul crushing to hear.

It really blows that the remake of this legendary video got blocked by square enix it must have been the music that got it blocked by them.
Actually, it was because he showed the remake's ending. All those who stream the game aren't allowed to show the ending.

That's absolutely horseshit. Square Enix needs to back the fuck off.

Creepy Bad Endings # 46 - Remake got taken down by Square Enix according to the copyright law.
whoisthisgit: Well, that's kinda unfortunate.
I'm hoping they remove that take down but somewhere deep down in my heart i fell like they won't do this so early.
Whether Oersted decided to be the good guy or bad guy there seems to be no helping fate gave him the shitty end of the stick. Every ending is bad for him it seems like.
Yeah. Oersted gets only ONE ending where he gets to live, and wouldn't you know it, he's still depressed for good reason.
By the way, I think I know why Git doesn't dig the Akira chapter.
It's a huge love letter to shounen anime in general and giant mechas in particular. If you are not familiar with them at all, well...
Also, it had liquefied humans that melt together a whole year before Evangelion, holy shit.
Holy crap, you're right. I always assumed that the "liquefied humans" bit was a shout out to _Eva_, but _Live A Live_ actually predates the series by thirteen months.
evengelion may have been inspired by it lol
reminds me of that saying "you either due a hero, or live long enough to become a villain" also deeeeeeeeeep
I'm kinda disappointed you didn't cover the bad endings of all the OTHER chapters...There were a few that were quite disturbing as well, like Cube and Xin Shan Quan...(I'm a little late to the party with this video, I know, but watching it when it was first released convinced me to play the game on an emulator...Just finished it! A great, underrated gem!)

This is what got me into live a live made me buy it TWICE.
and yet square doesn't let the remake of this video exist. This is the video that effectively made a lot of people aware of this game in the first place and spread many a word from there.
I just want to have that remake of this video not be lost media memories are faulty..
Square is very trigger happy with live a live ost videos
Remake mainly
This game. Words cannot describe how much I love this game. I'm so glad it's getting covered more...
VonFirflirch
I know the question was directed at him, but this game is what sort of got me into JRPGs. I normally can't stand turn-based and menu-combat since it's mostly sitting and waiting and praying RNG goes your way (especially at the beginning). But the battle grid system gives the player a much more active role in determining if they get hit or if the enemy gets hit.
And though it technically still uses a menu interface and turn-based combat (albeit with a unique twist where every single little action counts as a turn, and attacking takes up several turns, with more turns required for stronger attacks), I found it to require active player input enough to sort of get me past the perceived barrier of menu combat.
Thanks so much for introducing me to this game! Thanks to you I had a super hype day today!
After getting knowledge of this game some time ago I wonder how the chapters would be in an hipothetical sequel/remake/spiritual successor.
Oh, well I am bored. Here I go:
-Chapter 1: Ancient Egypt
In the year 12** B.C. the first undead apocalypse is happening. In the Abydos necropolis the dead are walking again, attacking nearby towns under the commanding of a creature believed to be a demon. Fortunately a priest with spiritual powers is willing to end the disaster.
The main character can use a "aura vision" to see clues in the map (Like friendly spirits or hidden details) and in battle, wich may be inocuous except in some moments in the chapters. Discovering all the hidden secrets grants you the good ending.
-Chapter 2: Imperial Rome
Year is 80 a.c, in the frontier of the roman empire with the german tribes. The fort where the protagonist lives is suddenly under attack by a barbarian horde. As the commander of the garrison, he must hold the line against them and kill the bloodthirsty leader of the horde.
Unlike other chapters, you control a hero with mainly support abilites and a bunch of generic units that must survive a series of battles until the final round with the boss. Depending of how many of them lived, you get a bad or good ending.
-Chapter 3: Pirates of the South East Asia
Indochina, 1410. A land which powerful pirate lords call home. This was discovered the hard way by a chinese merchant after being kidnapped by pirates and must escape of the wretched city they use as a hideout. Unfortunately for him the antagonist is an ex-peasant pirate who isn't very fond of high-class tweets.
As a wealthy man, the main character can bribe his way through the adventure... with the downside you have a limited amount of money. For example, you can use it to recruit characters or buy certain unique loot (But maybe want it to spend it on equipment or healing items). If you adquire it all you get the good ending.
-Chapter 4: Tomb raiders.
Central America, early 20th century. The protagonist is an archeologist (Read = grave looter) looking for a treasure in a misterious ruined city in the middle of the jungle. But, it just happens this is the resident place of a deity who isn't fond of robbers or living beings in general, trapping him inside the ruins.
Through the chapter, you can freely explore the place, but you are faced with trials to determine the nature of the archeologist's spirit, usually related to greed. You get a bad ending depending of the judgement of the deity. Also, in the bad one you only face a decoy.
-Chapter 5: Bad cops.
The events happen in a suburb of Miami in the 80's and you have to fight against crooks and thugs and arrest every bad guy that cross in your path.The main character is a cop in search of a mobster, just like a classic cop movie.
There are a limited number of battles, but you must de cautious to not actually kill any of the enemies. Fortunately, the main character have some neat abilities to non-letally subdue them. Depending of the number of kills you get a good or bad ending.
-Chapter 6: Cybernet
The near future chapter, that takes place entirely in the cyberspace, inspired by things like Megaman Battle Network, SAO or Lain. The year is 21** and the net works pretty much like a gigantic MMO, where you play in online battles but also socialize and exchange information of all kinds. But, some time ago appeared a misterious criminal who takes a pleasure ruining the lives of every notorious people in the net.
As a heroic hacker, the protagonist can use codes to gain advantages in the field and unlocke secure places. However, he can also uncover secrets and information of other people, wich may lead to a bad ending.
If you are wondering how a guy with no physical skills can later appear as a warrior, I reminds you this kinda happened with Cube.
-Chapter 7: Post-apocalypse
The world has suffered a nuclear war, turned into a desolated wasteland populated by mutants where only strengh matters. Yes, is blatantly inspired in Hokuto no Ken. And yes, the main villain is a despotic overlord who is only challenged by a wandering hero and maybe said hero companions.
The entire chapter is just a boss rush. To obtain the good ending you must rescue all the prisioners in the bad guys lair. Wich may be tricky since some of them are hidden in secret places, are forced to fight in battles or their location are only revealed when you spare some suspiciously coward foes.
111 111
This is awesome. Well done dude. The Romans seemed like an obvious choice but I like the twist you put in. Everything I else I never would have thought of had I attacked the idea.
Okay, maybe post apocalypse and Egypt, but that last one's a big stretch on my part.
New moment of boredom, so here there is the rest of my fanfiction:
-Chapter 8: The first civilization.
Middle East, year 40** B.C. where the first cities appeared and humanity changed from nomadic to sedentary. The chapter is divided in three chronological steps (With missable content, of course) but is otherwise pretty straightforward. This is supossed to be equivalent to the Oersted chapter
This is the story of a city and its hero/king, which begins with its founding, continues with the conflict caused by a demon and end with a war against another humans. And with each conflict the king hates humanity more a more, until he exiles from his own kingdom. And then the demon appears and tells him he is not alone...
Fill the gaps as you want.
-Chapter 9: The end of the world.
Unknown location and year, but supossedlly far in the future. The main characters of the previous chapters awake in a strange barren land filled with ruins from different historical periods. Only the characters you got a good ending in their respective chapters appear. In the land there are exclusive dungeons for each one and bosses based on fusions from previous ones.
Plot-wise, the party discover the "Oersted" from this game already caused a massive disaster (Probably tied to the chapter 7) and that strange land was created based on his memories, which they are part of. But it turns out he doesn't think humanity is entirely wretched, and the characters represent his memories of good humans he met in the past.
There are 3 possible endings, based on the ones from the previous chapters:
1) Bad ending (Bad endings only): Once you choose the last chapter is an automatic game over, "Oersted" decides that fuck everything, humans are always bastards and Earth is reduced to a lifeless rock.
2) Bittersweet ending (Bad and good endings): You face the king as the final boss. The heroes manage to change his way of thinking and turns into the ruler of humanity. Buuut, Earth is still a post-apocaliptic land and the demon is still around.
3) Hope ending (Good endings only): You face first the king and later the demon as the final bosses. Both of them die, but he uses the last of his and the demon's power to create a new fertile land.
Aww, I can't help but feel bad for Oersted. A great hero, driven to evil by a chain of horrible events and misunderstandings.
It's really great to see more people covering this brilliant game. This is easily one of Square's finest works and one of my favorite RPGs. Heck, it might even be one of my favorite games of all time, period.
There's also one fangame to note, and it ties the game in with the Touhou Project series, of all games. It's called Touhou-A-Live, fittingly enough, and it's definitely worth a look into if you're a fan of the original game.
We did it boys! Live A Live is back!

Oestered: _Get nae nae'd_
I have never been so angry about a game not getting a remake in my life.
guess what buddy
About that...
I am much happier now.
Oh my god... Square Enix used to make good stories?!
Back when it was just Squaresoft and they weren't affiliated with Enix, then yes.
NetherTraitor258 What do you mean "Used"
For me Nier Automata has a great story but yeah there are some Bullshit moment like A LOT
Squenix had nothing to do with Nier nor Nier Automata, save for publishing them. You gotta thank Yoko Taro for those.
More like "Then Tetsuya Nomura happened". That guy is a budget sinkhole on his own. Poor Tanaka gets a lot of flak because FF XV, but people forget that he had to make, not finish, *make* , the whole game in about two years, after Nomura wasted more than four years and a ton of money on barely nothing.
Hell, I love how people like Naoki Yoshida had thrown daggers at Nomura, with sentences like "I like to first finish the story before even starting to write the code. Otherwise, you keep changing things and your projects won't get anywhere".
I admit that, given enough time and budget (meaning too much), he can make a decent game, but he should focus on art design and let being the project director to people who are able to actually finish projects. And the writing to people who are able to not feel the need to retcon everything twice and can actually write a story that doesn't confuse even the writer.
lenlimbo agreed. nomura's only crowning achievement is kingdom hearts. Everything else he tries to write simply does not work.
"Continue your apologies from the bottom of the Abyss, Oersted!" is an amazing pre-asskicking one-liner. Shame he's so easy lol.
Definitely dig the Remake's version of "YOU WILL REPAY MY LOYALTY *IN DEATH* !"
I know it might be a bit late on this but did anyone notice that Oersted's spells out destroy. Well not exactly it spells out Destroe, but if you pronounce the last e like you would if it stands there alone it sounds exactly like destroy. Pretty fitting if you think about what happened with his life and what he wants to do with everything else because of the things that happened to him
Games like this deserve a remake, hell maybe even a remaster.
I'd love to see it because there are several well-known mangaka worked on the story. One of them I know is Gosho Aoyama, who is still making Case Closed/Detective Conan.
it deserves an english release.

This game looks pretty interesting, actually. In fact it may have made me set aside my doubts on whether or not a 16-bit JRPG can convey a good story.
+King Harkinian and the various FF games and Chrono Trigger DIDN'T?!?!........Won't argue that Live A eviL blows em outa the water but STILL
might have something to do with the fact that I didn't play them lol
King Harkinian well ya should, tip, on SNES FF6 is FF3, and its just better on GBA anyways, bugs are fixed, and just generally its better, eg Sketch won't make the game suffer an implosion
Also Chrono Trigger is best on DS, some say the music loses some, but between the little amine style scenes, and the general improvements, the DS is the best choice
Sadly Live A Live only is on SNES and only in English through a ROM Hack, so you'll need an emulator for that one
@@syrelian Not anymore! LaL is now on the Switch! :D
@@Omeyrolx_theChessmaster This is a six year old comment did you really need to pester me about the big news?
I can understand how Oersted felt, I'd have done the same thing in his situation. After all, "odio" means "hatred" in Italian.
So oersted basically hated on by everyone and got so mad he renamed himself odio and thanos snapped all of existence cuz he was mad lol
Oersted’s ending is the epitome of “I won, but what cost?”
OMG if u look at the end credits there is a Guy called Anus P best name ever xD
What's cool is using Oboro against Oersted , it felt like they're a polar opposite lol
Could you elaborate on that?
Can you explain please? I’m interested
I think this too.....
Oersted is a honor knight, live in the light, but become a demon king in the end.
Oboro is a ninja live in the night, as a Assassin he need to "unhonor", but he become a hero.
also, Oersted giveup believe humanity, and Oboro always believe sun will rise.
by the way, I notice they have the same hair cut....but Oboro is purple- *WAIT PURPLE HAIR!!?*
Personally, I would call "Armageddon" an "Au-Dio warning".
Wow, this game is INTENSE! The plot and everything were crazy dark. Great video, Git! 10/10
Oersted has memory flashes.
If you head to certain areas after people died during the chaptur

1 at hash's grave
1 at where alicia got kidnapped.
