Parasite Eve spin-off "The 3rd Birthday" (Square Enix, PSP, TPP Action RPG)
Anyone else looking forward to this title? The E3 2010 teaser trailer got me all worked up, totally! I swear to the hells, this game will make me buy a PSP. This game alone. I've already got it worked out, to buy the PSP, play this game, send it to my Metal Gear-head friend so he can play MGS Peacewalker, then have him send it back so I can sell it. I'm annoyed with Square-Enix on one hand, because I was hoping that they'd release a proper Parasite Eve title on the PS3/360 (and really hoping, but not expecting, a PC port of said title). I'm also annoyed with Square-Enix that this did not get released for mobile like it was originally intended. If it had, it would be on the iPhone/iPod touch in North America, and since I've got my eye on a 32GB touch... you get the idea. But on the other hand, I'm just very excited to see something that isn't Final Fantasy derived come out of Square Enix's Japanese game studios. I've always loved the Parasite Eve series, despite the games having more than their fair share of flaws, I still love them today. Related: Anyone else think, at the end of that video (with all the lovely Clothing Damage), Aya looks... really, really moe? But still... rather badass... as she hefts the M4 carbine? Edit: I do apologize for the lack of general information, but Square Enix has been rather tight-lipped about what goes on in this game. Aya's Parasite Energy hasn't been spoken of, and the only thing we can really gather from the video and SE's T3B page is the Overdrive System, which apparently functions in a similar manner to the Agents from The Matrix... Should give us some cool gameplay, though! (Here's hoping they bring back Yoko Shimomura to do the soundtrack, I liked hers a lot better than Naoshi Mizuta's work on PE2.)

I think this thread isn't getting any love because most of the fans think T3B is actually Parasite Eve 3 (when Square Enix has repeatedly said "it's not.")
It's a third-person shooter spinoff for the PSP, probably released with the intent to gauge consumer interest in an actual Parasite Eve title for the PS3. So do your part and buy this game, so we can get moar Aya.

I don't know what parasite eve is.
And I don't much care. At least it isn't another Final Fantasy; that's all I have to say. I may very well pick it up so long it isn't a direct sequel (i.e: Direct sequel that doesn't involve me playing the first game or so to understand what's going on.) Regardless, the graphics are beautiful. |

Science without borders occurs a bunch of times, mutant mitochondria evolution gives people wizard like powers that can combust people, and Aya's own cells adapt agianist it effectively giving her immortality. That's it in a nutshell, anything more you'd have to play PE1 or read/watch a letsplay, PE2 can be mostly ignored story-wise but arguably its probably the better one (not that PE1 is inferior, both are just vastly different form one another and I'd not bother to go into comparisons). |

It doesn't really matter that much, since almost nothing of the Parasite Eve games has anything to do with the novel.

Spoiler for Novel/PE1:
Personally I want to know when PE3 takes place. I haven't found any sources about it that doesn't reflect outdated information from when it was planned for the mobile phone. I want to say from the trailer it takes place before PE1 and PE2, explaining how NMC hunters got around to being former or why Aya sealed her powers (outside of just an excuse plot for why you start from scratch in PE2). But that sounds to logical, and this is square-enix we're dealing with they have a tendency to go down bat**** illogical with their story scripts. |

I never played the original games but now I'm kinda curious about a few things. Can Aya have children even though she's kind of...non-human anymore? Although in the interviews Square said they'd try to capture a mature/older woman's thinking...I really pray to GOD they do. I would NOT be convinced at all if she acts like a sexy 20 year old while she's actually 40...it would kind of turn me off. I actually think she would be a really interesting character is she's 40 and still looks like 20. She would probably be a lot more sexually open, a cougar but a young looking cougar (which is probably why she'd dressed like a hot chick right now). I'd imagine something like Cinderella from Fables comics. |

Her jeans are so ripped they don't even look like she's wearing anything. Her tank top is pretty skimpy in my opinion, or I'm just that conservative since I live in a cold climate.
I mean I'm fine with women showing skin, but there's a difference between showing skin for sex and showing skin for style. |

And yeah, Aya is pretty much the same normal human with the exception of a mitochondria evolutionary step in order for her to survive. Which just happen to give her immortality by not aging, and a few other perks in the form of generic RPG magic...which can be inferior to say oh, a grenade launcher. |
