The 3rd Birthday had some interesting ideas, but they were overshadowed by poor execution and storytelling. The success of Final Fantasy VII Remakeproves that limitation has been overcome, and its particular blend of modern gameplay with classic RPG elements would be a perfect fit for the series. The 3rd Birthday aspired to be faster than its predecessors, but was unable to realize its ambition due to the developers' inexperience. I would recommend Parasite Eve to any RPG fan.Such a game could also take advantage of Square Enix's newfound confidence with action gameplay. Both times when I played the game, I got tired of playing it at “Day 5” in Chinatown. I would say, though, that the game gets a tad repetitive around the middle. I find the whole mitochondria-based story extremely interesting and original. I'm not a huge fan of incredibly gory games Parasite Eve is on the borderline of gory, but surely it's tasteful gore.

Enemies don't persistently attack you.

In most cases if you do not use your PE during battle, you can rely on PE Healing to restore any lost HP, dissolving the need to use any healing items.

Parasite Energy is slowly recharged over time. If you choose to escape, the experience will be lost. If the enemy is outside of the range, the shot is likely to fail. If you choose to attack, a dome symbolizing the range of the weapon appears. Just like in any regular RPG, upon each turn, you can choose to attack, use PE (Parasite Energy), use items, or escape. In battle, you have an "Active Time Bar" (ATB) that sets the time for every turn to take action. You're bound within a perimeter of unseen barriers until the battle is over, either by defeating all enemies or using the Escape command. The tricky part is that if you wish to have the most powerful weapons/armor, you need to pick up "Tool" items to transfer the strength of previous weapons/armor to new weapons/armor.Įnemies appear when you enter a "hot spot".

You pick up or buy new weapons and armor. Just like any traditional Squaresoft RPG, you gain levels and learn new abilities. Hence, why they put "The Cinematic RPG" on the back of the case. With the popularity of the CGI sequences in Final Fantasy VII, Squaresoft aimed at making a game that flowed more like a Hollywood movie. The game is a sequel to the novel Parasite Eve, written by Hideaki Sena.

Parasite Eve is an action/RPG by Squaresoft, released for the Playstation in September 1998.
