Live A Live initally starts off with 7 'scenarios', standalone chapters that follow an enclosed narritive. After you beat all 7 of the scenarios, it unlocks an 8th one, the Middle Ages. After beating the Middle Ages, you unlock the final chapter of the game, the Dominion of Hatred, which acts as a connecting thread for all the other chapters.
