Parasite Eve LP - The Worst Foe Lives Within the Self...

"You HAVE the ability to EVOLVE! Why take the side of a DOOMED species?!"  - 2022 Sane People or Mitochondria Eve.

Sorry for the extended delay. I needed a break after finally getting through Shadow Hearts: Covenant. And then my health got shitty. And my family got shitty. And I was going to do this earlier in the month and back to back blizzards. I'm snowed in as you read this and probably will be for another day. But fuck it. Let's get to it before I have to LP Frostpunk in real life. 

What is Parasite Eve?

Parasite Eve is a JRPG released in 1998 in North America for the Sony PlayStation by Squaresoft back in the halcyon days where Square put out 8-10 wildly different and also incredibly similar games a year giving no fucks before they had this disastrous idea to put out a CGI movie and fucked up so bad they merged with Enix and put out Drakengard as their first merger title. Parasite Eve, much like Xenogears, was an early pitch for Final Fantasy VII that got flung out into its own thing. Hell, it came out a month and a half after Xenogears. And a year after Final Fantasy VII and a year before Final Fantasy VIII. 

It was a wild time. This is technically a licensed sequel to a Japanese novel of the same name written by Hideaki Sena in 1995. This is why when we got to the third title of the series, The 3rd Birthday, in 2010 on the PSP, of which you can see my previous misadventures with here in better days. And it was named "The 3rd Birthday" because Square-Enix no longer had the Parasite Eve license name.  

You don't need to worry about that one. In fact, there is only pain there. We're going back to the origin of this series. It's significantly better and significantly less horny incarnation. Umm... mostly. Tetsuya Nomura was the character and creature designer for this game and he is FUCKING HORNY ON MAIN! But we'll get to that later.

What is a mitochondria?

The powerhouse of the cell.

Which region has the best pizza?

New York City, baby! I will fight you in single combat on this! Get that Chicago soup lasagna pizza in a dress shit the fuck outta here!

Anyway. Here is the first installment! Enjoy!

Episode I: Primal Eyes

Also, general reminder we've got a Discord that with a nice community. That is welcoming to everyone. Except cops. Other than Aya Brea. But then only circa 1997. Get that 3rd Birthday Aya golem the fuck out of here.
