about a month ago decided to buy 3rd Birthday for PSP. Now you know I am not a person who risks a lot with games that are unknown, especially with the TPS, but hey, the thing is that I was giving an additional game for Lightning in Dissidia 012 with the purchase of the game. Well, after seeing sick of Light in their sexy ripped jeans and black blouse thought "and what if I give him a chance to 3rd Birthday?".
But obviously, I'm so picky, I did so as well. First I had to learn the history of previous titles, before pouncing on more modern TPS-RPG from Square Enix to aliens. So by 5.99 dollars to download Parasite Eve PS1 PSN, and install it on my PSP. I finished a few weeks ago already, but as they read in my previous post, Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection has kept me apart from any other game review (I have not finished 3rd Birthday for the same.) Now, over FFIV, I can talk about Parasite Eve by Square, a title originally came out for PS1, back in the days of Final Fantasy VII. Graphics
certainly has not aged in a friendly, graphically speaking. The scenarios are static, fixed images of typical new-Yorkinos environments, hospitals, streets, central park, police stations, Carnegie Hall, etc, but I assume they are not realistic models of the places they are representing.
Yoko Shimomura was commissioned to create music tracks from the game. Although I love Yoko, I must say that this is not your best work. Of course, unforgettable songs and opera to hear over all or the game or the ending theme are great, but here is my favorite composer was still in a stage of discovery. And we understand, at this point, his most famous works were Super Mario RPG and Street Fighter 2 .
Even so the music manages to convey a little scared to play it with a dark stage environments and create the atmosphere of survival horror game, with RPG mexclado which boasts both series.
Gameplay
The game will take you to different places in Manhattan , facing genetic aberrations that will attack you with their sharp claws, fangs, or even Parasite Energy (spells of the game). Everything can be avoided with proper timing, knowing where and when to run from the sight of your opponents. And unlike traditional RPGs, this is super important because of not learning the patterns of the enemies will die again and again. In addition, resources are super limited, the Resident Evil. Well your medication dosage, then regret it in boss fights. As I mentioned, is a real time RPG, since you can move around the stage quietly while you make the desicion that spells your character moves or run. But it is also shift because after taking an action, you have to wait a few seconds for style ATB bar is full and you can select another command.
The form of attack Aya Brea is by firearms and Parasite Energy. Firearms are divided into several types, such as Hand guns, shotguns, launchers, etc, each with different statistics. The shotguns but slow to reload, are very strong near and far weaker. The missile launcher, powerful but sooo limited ammunition throughout the game. The reliable handguns, fast but weak and with little range. Aya
level up when gather enough experience, improving their skills, and giving you additional points that you can improve certain stats Aya (as the speed with which the bar is filled with action) or the power of their weapons.
also increases with the level you will learn new and varied Parasite Energy, they are spells of a traditional RPG, both of attack (fire spells), healing (3 different levels of cure) and supportive (Aya More speed, less speed for the enemy.)
The strategy is important when using these skills, since the use Parasite Energy, you will use PE, an additional bar down the ATB bar Aya. This will empty depending on the skill used, the more strong, more become empty, and the more PE use in battle, but the bar slowly filled PE. This eventually leave you without the ability to reuse most important and delicious healing spells, so a balance between PE and skills necessary items, in addition to a proper understanding of the patterns of attack by enemies.
to your advantage, besides the higher level and allocation of points to improve basic stats, you have the creation of weapons. If you have a simple handgun through special items you get throughout the game, you can combine this weapon with another new and more powerful, either to improve the capacity of bullets, shooting ability, rank or power in general . Items you need to achieve fusion weapons are limited, so do not get too excited about the fusion of weapons unless absolutely necessary. Sometimes improvement of weapons is enough to beat a difficult boss.
History in Manhattan in the decade of the 90's, Aya Brea is a normal girl, a rookie police precincts of New York. Although she is a fan of opera, buy tickets for her and her boyfriend for a show on Christmas Eve 1997. The opera promises to show a rising star, Melissa Pearce, a young woman with beautiful voice in his first appearance in public, and what better show than Carnegie Hall.
The show begins and Melissa Pearce makes his appearance. After a while I started singing, people all over Carnegie Hall, audiences, artists and people behind the scenes begins to burn in flames, like spontaneous combustion, while Melissa Pearce sings without stopping or flinching at that event. Aya Brea and Melissa are the only people who do not burn in flames, so that Aya takes the stage to try to arrest Melissa, you start to float across the stage as if by magic, and throwing your body's energy eztraña.
After the battle, Melissa mentioned that mitochondria Aya's body have not yet evolved sufficiently. After fleeing, Aya follows her into the sewers under Carnegie Hall, where his eyes several common creatures like rats, they begin to mutate. In the end, the same Melissa Pearce, so that normal-looking girl turns into a monster but a person who threatens to make a kind of revolution of mitochondria, the true owners of the planet.
This story recounts the events of December 24, 1997 until the new year, where Aya must understand that she is the only one who can survive their mitochondria, why not in flames, and that Melissa Pearce, and Eve , as he calls himself has much interest in Aya.
Conclusion
The game today has very challenging. You can further play obtain a New Game +, much harder to get a different ending. The game itself is hard, and ended up creating the cinematic RPG genre we know today, with beautiful FMV (grotesque as well) that even today look good. The script is missing some work (I blame the bad translation), but the gameplay of "trial and error" it takes time to master, and its high level of strategy, besides a low price make it easy to recommend. If you can, give it a try, and if you play 3rd Birthday like me, is highly recommended that you do.
