You mentioned there's no indie games taking inspiration from PE - funnily enough, just a few days ago, Sukeban Games (the guys who made VA-11 Hall-A) officially announced '.45 PARABELLUM BLOODHOUND', which is explicitly inspired by Parasite Eve in the gameplay department, and looks to take a lot of ques from it in terms of graphics, music, and setting.

Oh yeah, also, regarding that dumpster fire that is the third birthday, there's another awfulness about it: the catalyst of the entire story, the soldiers showing to shoot up Aya's marriage? Never explained. There is literally no reason for why it happens (explained in-game, I mean). Great storytelling right there /s

Nomura is the creative director of Square, basically the same role Sakaguchi had before he left. He sets the creative direction of the company and has, at the very least, oversight over the narrative of their games. So, even if he isn't directly responsible for the terrible stories of Square's games, he is the creative lead of the whole company. Therefore, he can never claim ignorance for bad ideas getting through because he needed to approve them at some point. But, to be fair to Nomura, there seems to be a systemic problem in Square. The veterans have way too much power and clout, leading to ballooning budgets, development time and self-indulgence. Square's management doesn't really seem to care or they are unwilling to put their team leads in their place, and that's the major problem.
@Tenchigumi
Ай бұрын
Yeah, Square's always had a problem with budgeting and reining in their producers and directors. Even during Sakaguchi's SquareSoft reign (which I still believe is Square's golden age), administrative mismanagement and troubled development has been always been a thing, from Chrono Trigger, to Xenogears, to Vagrant Story. But it's definitely more pronounced now, as despite having the revenue of a small nation, possession of one of the most successful MMORPGs of all time, and back-to-back multi-platinum sales, Squenix STILL manages to be in the red. I think the FF7 remake trilogy is going to be the ultimate barometer of Squenix's future, because if they manage to stick the landing on the third episode, then it'll prove that Square is capable of at least somewhat reining in Nomura's penchant for excessively convoluted storytelling, something that'll hopefully trickle down to other development. Also, more down-to-earth games like FF16, as well as the persistent success of FF14 (which somehow has some of the most interesting and coherent stories in the company, despite being a frickin' MMO), tell me that they're slowly starting to find that elusive equilibrium they've been missing for the past two+ decades.
@fattiger6957

@@Tenchigumi I don't want to get into a big thing about it, but if FF7 Rebirth is anything to go by then I think the 3rd chapter will be a complete cluster****. I despise Rebirth in a way I haven't hated a game since FF13. I really liked FF16 because it wasn't a typical Numura-style game that has characterized FF since Sakaguchi left. But the toxic FF fanbase unfairly demonized it and it sold less than desired. So who knows what is in the future for the franchise. TBH, I'm not feeling optimistic about Square's future. Every success seems to be followed by several blunders that should have been easily avoided (who though blowing $100+ Million on Forespoken was a good idea?) There was speculation that Sony was going to buy them and I actually think that would be the best outcome for them. If not, their bad decisions will catch up with them and they'll end up getting bought out by Tencent or Saudi Arabia

Funny mini-anecdote, when he got PE1, knowing Aya's full name was Aya Brea, he named her that when the name input appears... so during the whole game the character was "AYA BREA BREA" xD 3rd Birthday is a disgrace that should have never happened.

So yeah, in the 2nd games, I like how they started to give us different type of Ammo, for each type of weapon. That's the element that I like from PE2. PS : In PE 1, only Rocket type of weapon got the different Ammo, Meanwhile Handgun, Rifle, Shotgun, even Grenade Launcher have the same Ammo 😅

Hi @BoulderPunch ! First time to your channel. I played this on my PS1 back in the day when it came out (when you could rent, burn and return) and I gotta say, this is one of these most played game series I ever had ever come into contact with (aside from the Final Fantasy, Street Fighter and Metal Gear Solid games). It's great that people still play and remember these games, not to mention show a great deal of interest into the IP (regardless of if the sequels were bad). It does feel like the sequels were a product of their time, which for better or worse altered the path the games went in. I'm not holding my breath, but I do hope they revisit this franchise at some point, even if it blends aspects of the novel and the original game. Bringing this JRPG into today's world is worth the shot considering the sheer amount of remakes happening over the past decade.

Though I guess for The Third Birthday it's not actually Aya. I think I read some comments that Square lost the rights to Parasite Eve after the second game? If true that would explain this third game, only having characters and elements they created themselves, and not from Parasite Eve the source book. One thing I think is funny is how fan service has changed in games. Aya has the flattest ass ever in Third Birthday, there's no way her butt would look the same if made today, lol.

@@rigelothello709 Doesn't count. Character assassination is when they ruin a protagonist in the sequel, mostly by changing their personality to be something completely opposite of who they were or how they've grown. For example, a cool, confident protagonist in the first game is suddenly a whiny, childish and submissive character in the second game. Some even say Dante from Devil May Cry 2 is a character assassination compared to DMC1. Clock Tower 1 and 3 had different protagonists. Haunting Ground and Rule of Rose had no sequels.

I really loved how the game was like a sequel to the book/movie. A shame this game has never been remade.

When i saw Gabrielle for first time, i thought she a clone of Maya just like Eve of Aya clone and could be a perfect rival + final boss adversary. But nope they instead made a lessen version of Parasite In The City(H-game) 😂😂😂😂

I guess it's appropriate you made this video right after you Dino Crisis video. The two franchises took a similar trajectory. Hit first game that had an interesting take on an existing genre. The second game, while a departure, is still well received. Then the third game throws everything away, completely ruins it and kills the franchise.

I realise my comment will get buried, but I have to ask something. What are your emulator settings for the PS1? It looks really good, with the slight phosphorus glow and attractive but subtle scan-netting.

Man no Survival Horror series, aside from maybe Dino Crisis, deserves a remake/return like Parasite Eve does.

If you have yet to play it, I recommend playing Koudelka. It's a similar mix of JRPG and Survival Horror, with a bit more on the Former.

Oh no. Why suffer so? The first is a masterpiece. Following the series to its grave is too depressing.

25:13 I worked at a summer school with mostly hispanic kids one year and had to enter the attendance into the computer system. There was a set of twins that, I kid you not, HAD THE SAME FUCKING NAME. there was like a 1 letter difference that changed the pronounciation VERY SLIGHTLY when spoken by someone fluent in spanish. but it was VERY subtle. boggles my mind to this day.

I got Parasite Eve (1) bought for me as a kid, it was a US import which we found in a UK game store we would frequent. Loved it then, love it now still. The biggest tragedy in my opinion about PE1 is... only Japan and the USA got it. The rest of the world got shoved with trash hole that was PE2 the awful RE clone. I still have to listen to a friend friend say PE2 is amazing whenever we talk Parasite Eve.

Man, Third Birthday is on the level of Dino Crisis 3, and Thief 2014 in terms of sequels that betray and kill beloved franchises. And heck, as poor as Other M is, that at least has the excuse of having a really poor translation (while the original doesn’t save it, it’s not nearly as bad). Third Birthday is just bad all the way through. Side note, as much as Toriyama is responsible for the new direction, the one who actually wrote the majority of it is Toshimitsu Takeuchi, as he was responsible for much of the story after it switched from mobile to PSP.
