There’s basically only about 4 or 5 main characters that you’ll need to worry about, and they’re mostly always involved in the story sequences so you’ll never be forgetting about anyone due to lack of participation. Each chapter is focused on pretty much one concept of the story, so things move along quite nicely and organized.Īnother thing I liked about Parasite Eve is that there aren’t very many characters that you need to keep up with. The game itself is split into 6 different days, so you basically get 1 chapter of story per hour or so of gameplay. I found the story pacing to be just right! The overall length of the game is fairly short, anywhere between 7 hours to about 15 hours for your first playthrough. The story involves the usage of tons of scientific terms, so for some people it might be really difficult to understand some of the conversations in the game (even moreso if you play in Japanese, unless you’ve studied lots of scientific/medical vocabulary). I’m not a scientist, but I have a feeling that the entire premise is completely impossible, biologically, but in terms of a fictional story, it’s pretty cool. The story in Parasite Eve is pretty intriguing. Why does Eve seem to keep singling Aya out, why does Eve keep giving subtle hints about Aya’s past, and why does Eve know about Aya’s biological make-up? Publisher: JP: Square, US: Square Electronic Artsįrom here on, the story continues with Aya trying to figure out who or what “Eve” is, and why she seems to be the only person that is able to get near Eve without getting burned alive. Release Date: JP: March 29th, 1998 / US: September 9th, 1998
Style: Japanese Role-playing Game (Action, Real-time ATB) Parasite Eve holds a cult-like status amongst PS1 RPG players, but does it really deserve all of the praise that it receives? Let’s find out! Since the game itself is subtitled as “The Cinematic RPG”, Parasite Eve definitely delivers a cinematic story experience. The game plays out like a sort of Suspense/Detective Drama. Parasite Eve is not much of a Survival Horror game, or even really a Horror game for that matter. Touted by gaming magazines as the RPG-equivalent of Resident Evil, I believe Parasite Eve was a bit mis-genred, which might have had a bad influence on its popularity when it was released. Parasite Eve is a game that probably every single Squaresoft fan heard about when it was released back towards the end of the 90s.
