Squaresoft's first decent game!

This game is mind numbing in it's excellence. The combat system is the best I've ever used, hands down. The storyline, instead of being a confusing and cliche mess like the rest of Square's work, is well thought out and not based around a character allergic to clothing.

I was very bothered when I saw they'd ruined the series with the second, but this one is straight out the best RPG I've played.

Ambiguous...

Hyped up because it was released close after FF7, and many anticipated it to be another epic adventure. The thing is, there ARE a lot of positivities about this game. But awkward battle development, a lack of personality for the main character, and slow....very slow moments make the game mediocre at best.
So you like the CG opening right? Right. So you think, wow this looks cool I'm excited. Indeed at first that is the case, the battle is very innovative. It's RPG-like but action-like too, a little like Secret of Mana or Seiken Densetsu series. The graphics for that time is also quite good, if not the best yet in this category as well as others. The music, although not for all is quite befitting to the mood and sci-fi orientation and quite creepy at times. It's not out of place, contrary to other reviews.
Now we got to the problems, Aya Brea is so devoid of character and so slow at piecing together clues that you would rather have jumped into the game itself to help her or rather BE HER and just freaking save the people. If you're not one of those people that want to get a date with her, then read on. She's not really...a character you care for, or want to help...nor do you care what really happens. She's just there, and to boot...she runs super slow. It takes forever getting to places, just plain annoying. Not to mention during battle, there are invisible barriers preventing you from getting further from the enemy as not to get hit to earn BP. There are also other problems, such as not being able to carry a lot of stuff early in the game. Quite irritating, the other characters in the game also lack depth. To be honest, the story had potential, in that time they had the graphics and music done...the development was a bit massacred in terms of characterization and functionability and so forth is a mediocre game for some OK fun but nothing to be wowed at or to be hated. C'mon, you can't hate Squaresoft.

Parasite Eve is the ultimate videogame ever created.When I was younger,my dad had it and I loved it!Unfortunately,it broke 4 years ago.After going through many different plazas and videogame stores,I finally found the last copy of the game on a website(by the way,it's not eBay).This game is the 6 day story of Aya Brea,a rookie cop,age 25.(Yes,I do remember,it was the greatest game of all time.)Also,there is a Parasite Eve movie.It takes place like 2 years or more before Aya is born,and it tells about Aya's mother,who had similiar Mitochondria Cells to Eve.I am a fiend,even though people do not know how I truly loved Parasite Eve.Now you probably think I'm crazy.Oh,and if you love Parasite Eve,you'll love Tekken 1-4.Tekken 5 is comin out next week,and you'll also love Death By Degrees and Resident Evil 4.Well,thanks for reading!Bye!

Interesting concept, but there are definetly much better games out there.Gameplay is bad, very confusing, and I lost interest in a matter of minutes. I expected better from SquareSoft!

I got this game expecting a lot. I was very disappointed. But first the good. The game is innovative, being a departure from the standard RPG by Squaresoft. The battle system was a good attempt, but didn't work too well. The cinematic features of the game were not disappointing. The cut scenes were wonderful and the overall graphics were pretty good. The storyline was interesting as well.

Unfortunately, that did not make up for the confusing nature of the game. The weapon modification system did not work well, and as I said before, the battle system did not end up being as good as it could have been. The gameplay was not immensely fun either.

Call it my opinion, but I did not enjoy this game at all and couldn't wait to trade it in.

Good at best...

CG the best other then FF8. Graphic are also pretty good. Story line has major potential but falls seriously short in all ways that matter. Also there is absoulutely no character development in the main character. But my major complaint is I beat the game in just 8 HOURS and after you beat it you don't feel like replaying it ever again. With the release of SaGa Frontier and Brave Fencer Musashi(Both Mediocre Games at best) i've just about lost faith in Square. If not for Xenogears I would have.

It was a great game #3 on my top 10 favourites!

This game is a great game but if you get easily scared or you get grosed out eaisly either don't get the game or just don't watch some of the fmv scenes. It was one of the best games I have played. I don't own it but I helped my friend beat it. It was tons of fun. It came close to being my favourite game but it couldn't top the fun factor in lunar or ffvii. but overall a great game!

Dont even bother!

This *could* have been a great game. The video graphics are awesome but the game drags, IMHO, because of its "subtitles", which at least for me, were really irritating after a while. I think Squaresoft should have employed some "voice actors" for this one.
