Live A Live has eight different stories, not counting the final one: Prehistory, Imperial China, Twilight of Edo Japan, The Wild West, Present Day, The Near Future, The Distant Future, and, finally, The Middle Ages. Each story has its own protagonist. Pogo is Prehistory's protagonist, for instance. The other protagonists are the Earthen Heart Shifu, Oboromaru, the Sundown Kid, Masaru Takahara, Akira, Cube, and Oersted. In addition, basically all the stories have some sort of thing that sets them apart from the others (excluding, you know, the time period, characters, location, plot, and so on). Akira can read minds, Masaru Takahara can learn certain moves from his opponents, Oboromaru can use Shadowed Self to hide himself outside-of-battle, and so on. Also, in the final story, the protagonists team up, if you didn't know from me mentioning that Aki was the first character I found in the Dominion of Hate. Oh yeah, fun fact: Pogo, Akira, and Yun Jou have always been in my party when I go to fight the final boss. I'm guessing that makes Yun my third favorite.
Live A Live also has amazing music. Go! Go! Steel Titan (the version without lyrics), Kiss of Jealousy (the name sounds lame but the song itself is great), Megalomania, Heroic Struggle, Cry-A-Live... good stuff, good stuff.

Pogie is Pogie.
Or, in other words, Pogo, the lovable green-haired caveman from Live A Live. Sure, he may be weird, and his art looks like crap according to Bee Pen (I can't really confirm but I don't doubt it), but his sprite's plenty cute. A very similar case to Gau, who is pwecious and needs a wuggle. (clears throat) Anyway, Pogo is my favorite Live A Live character. If it wasn't for him, I might not've got the game. I thought it looked cool and all, but cute little Pogie really caught my attention (and reminded me of Gau so yeah).
While Pogie is my favorite Live A Live character, that doesn't mean I've forgotten about Aki (not to be confused with the actual character named Aki). At first, I thought Akira was annoying and foul-mouthed, and I wasn't particularly wrong. But as I played through the Near Future, I guess I started to like him a bit more. And when I played through the Dominion of Hate, the first character I happened to stumble across was Akira. After that, I just kinda got really attached to him. Not sure exactly how all that happened. One minute I hate him, the next I love him. But now the shirtless psychic boy is my second favorite character. And it's not just me! My mom said she thinks Aki's her favorite. Ain't that somethin'?
