#I thought Imogen for the other guy because the blurb said something about hearing other peoples' thoughts being invasive buuuuuuuuut

So my friend got a thing and now I'm playing Live A Live (apparently it's pronounced "Live Alive," and that's another thing I just get to be corrected on because I read more than I converse)

I decided to tackle the chapter that I suspected would be the most annoying first (prehistory), and the one my friend found frustrating second (Far Future).

My thoughts so far:

-I was entirely right to start with prehistory because my annoyance at some of its elements was mitigated by having to figure out the combat system, which served as a solid distraction.

-I was going to name the character after Gau from FFVI, but he's actually not very high on my favorite character list because FFVI has 14 characters and most of them are not Blue Mages (which I find incredibly frustrating to play because I have to memorize what everything is immune to).

I named him Grok instead because it sounds like early phonetic nonsense but it actually has a meaning.

-I totally made a call about Zaki based on his combat animations that turned out to be right. Also both my friend and I were disappointed that the voices in this version (and the smiley face button -_-) revealed him to not be a tall hot girl.

-Upon hearing the voices in the next chapter I desperately searched for and found a way to change the dub language to Japanese because I'm not buying a guy with that name having Wheatley's accent.

-If it's not obvious by now I'm playing the remake by the fact that there's a voiceover.

-Currently trying to figure out whether Kato has an accent in Japanese because there *is* an accent in Japanese that often gets characters slapped with either a Southern US accent or the intrusive Wheatley accent. I can't hear one, but then again I don't speak Japanese.

-Also trying to figure out if everyone on this flying syringe is going to die as the story progresses or if I'm just paranoid seeing death-flags. I mean counting five sleeping people at the start when there is supposed to be six is suspicious, to be fair.

-Realized that this chapter could very well suck like my friend said if I don't pick a name for the playable character that makes me immediately and extremely attached to him despite the dumb hat, so I named him Baymini.

-The rec room broadcast is about as far as I am right now.

Character names so far:

Grok, Baymini
