This was the game that my brother put me to play when i was a kid, i always loved the OST from Yoko Shimomura and the combat will always have a place in my heart due to me being in love with turn-based jrpgs, also Aya is one of the most badass MC in survival horror (IMO), great story with fun elements and masterpiece OST. Please bring it to PC, there would be nothing better than having it DRM-free forever.
In Australia (for PAL consoles) the first Parasite Eve wasn't released for us (just Parasite Eve II on PS1 + The 3rd Birthday for PSP) and it is a game I've always wanted to play in English (I have only briefly played the first few minutes of it in Japanese).
I would be so incredibly grateful if I could finally be able to experience playing this game.
(Overall, I think it would be amazing to be able to finally experience playing games that were not released for PAL consoles but were still released in English/United States).
Thank you so much :-)
Parasite Eve is a rare gem of Squaresoft experimenting with game mechanics that give off unique and exciting experiences. Loved how the combat worked, a combination of an active time battle with free movement.
I remember recording that intro on a Talk Boy so I could listen. The only way we could listen to OSTs in music back in the day. Also one of the early games that introduced me to end game content.
When I first played Parasite Eve, I had no idea what I was getting into. It wasn’t just another game—it was something different, something special. The eerie atmosphere, the cinematic storytelling, the fusion of RPG mechanics with survival horror… it pulled me in like nothing else.
Aya Brea became one of my favorite protagonists, and the soundtrack still gives me chills. The combat felt ahead of its time, and the game’s lore stuck with me long after the credits rolled.
This game had quite the impact on me as I was but a teenager when it was released and I only knew a bit of English. But oh boy, did it make my vocabulary in biology and genetics increase by tenfold 😅
I still vividly remember the time I spent finishing the game again and again on new game+ to get higher and higher in that #!&+€#? Chrysler building 👍
Obviously, no sane person would keep at it if the game wasn't good (and relatively short) in the first place.
Great story (freely adapted from the original novel), very nice and simple gameplay, which is a good thing, really. Very distinctive for its time, marvelous all the way.
This game needs to be remastered or remake, in my opinion, the game itself, the ost, story and everything is awesome, i always loved the ost from Yoko Shimomura + gameplay is solid with one of the the most badass female mc in survival horror
Playstation interactive sampler 8 had this game as a preview and i was always hooked. Also this game needs the love it deserves. Cause lets this the only way this game gets a modern port. Also i dont trust square enix. Between the music game play and story i just don't want this game franchise gathering dust. And also i saw Dino Crisis got a modern port i hope this game does too.
I've never played it but I've always been interested and had a strange and nostalgic desire to play it. I've looked for every way but unfortunately bad luck has always been with me... in the best of times... I've never had a PS2 or an opportunity to play a little bit of this game. Now! I might have a unique chance now on GOG!
