    Live A Live Patch {v0.01}
           March 1st 1999
======================================================================

*IMPORTANT* We ask you NOT to distribute the patch without this file, as it contains useful and required information concerning the project. 

Welcome to Square's Translation's first official release of the Live A Live translation patch. Live A Live is a game produced by Squaresoft in September 1994. Unfortunatly, it never saw a release outside of Japan. It was also released in the shadow of Final Fantasy 3{6}, and therefore did not look impressive with it's Final Fantasy 5 - type graphics. What the game really is is 8 mini-RPG's crammed on to one 16 meg cartridge. Each RPG carry's a different storyline and are set in different time periods. The only thing that remains the same in all 8 is the battle system. The ability to move around a square battle arena in turn-based style really revolutionised Square games to come. We have begun this translation so that people will realise the quality of the game, and it will not be forgotten.

2.Project Information
======================================================================
The Live A Live translation project was begun by Dark Lich at the beginning of February 1999. Soon after he was joined by Avox, who completed the font changes. The search for an Advanced ROM hacker to do a script dump began, and it didn't take long for Jotted to take an interest in that area of the project. Towards the end of February 1999, members of the somewhat 'dead' Transrelic, met up with Dark Lich and Tiger Claw to discuss forming an all new group, with translations of 3 Squaresoft games going on{ Live A Live, Rudra no Hihou and Treasure Hunter G}. They finally came up with 'Square's Translation', a group set out to tackle the very best of the untranslated Squaresoft RPG's. Dark Lich, assisted by his Japanese friend 'Kaze Yagami', are attempting a perfect script translation. As far as we know, there are no other 'Live A Live' patches with ANY kind of progress on the internet, so enjoy!
