I have sixteen dollars left at the PlayStation Store after buying a one-hundred dollars gift card. I see they have Parasite Eve 1 and 2 for $5.99 a piece. Are they worth getting or should I shift my focus elsewhere?

I have the first one & haven't played it in forever. I think it might be worth getting, honestly. It's a horror type game set in NYC.
Edit: or go w/ Chrono Cross. I like both.
Edit: 1K post! w00t!
Yes. It's fantastic. Easily one of my favorite games of the PS1 era.
Good.Quote:

Can't speak for the second one but the first Parasite Eve is fantastic! Hope you enjoy!
I have always loved parasite eve, and recently got to play the second. In my honest opinion, it would be worth way more than six bucks, and I would highly recommend them both.
It's pretty good.
I enjoy the weapon/armor customization and combat system in the first game enough to recommend it to people, but the second one is a lot more hit and miss; it feels a lot like an older Resident Evil game with odd quirks attached and less puzzles. I thoroughly enjoy the title, and actually like it more than the first, but I know enough people who were put off by it to be selective in recommending it.
Not that it matters, since you already bought it. ;)
(You should try to unlock the gunblade in the second game!)
I'm a fan of the older Resident Evil games so that shouldn't be much of a problem, unless it feels like a RE rip off like Dino Crisis did.Quote:

Resident evil meets Vagrant Story. I liked the concept but was not happy with the results.
First one never got released here, second one was enjoyable enough though!
So, did Parasite Eve 2 get renumbered or did they FFVII you guys?Quote:

Isn't there also a third one out now for PSP/Vita?
I have all three. Get them. They are good story-wise and atmosphere-wise.
i loved the first 2 games, i haven't finished the 3rd one as it's on PSP and i keep getting distracted by other games on the PS3 and PC... i hope you enjoy them they're both great games, with New Game + options after you beat them, the first one opens a bonus dungeon when you beat it, and the 2nd game has 3 endings...
Ironically, in the UK we got Parasite Eve 2, but not Parasite Eve 1. I can therefore say Parasite Eve 2 was a fantastic PSX game.
Can we just turn this thread into a parasite eve discussion thread? It was one of the first series that didn't have a huge hype about, and fell in love with.
Go ahead. My question was made moot when I accidentally bought both games while deciding.Quote:

First was good
Hacked it thomcuz was hard
Interesting story
An update on the third birthday, if my psp didn't die I would still be playing it now. So far it seems like a great game, but I don't have a lot of hours logged into it.
How did your PSP die? Do you mean it needs charged or is something wrong?
Just needed charging, but it's good now:).
Fun Fact: Parasite Eve the video game is a detached sequel to the novel Parasite Eve, written by Hideaki Sena. You can find it on Amazon for 5 to 10 dollars. I haven't picked it up yet (the book) but the description makes it sound absolutely fantastic.
I haven't played the first two games yet, but I've seen enough of them and done enough research to know that if you're looking for a great classic Square game, you can't go wrong with Parasite Eve. I have the 3rd birthday, if I remember correctly it came with a promo code that gave me an Aya Brea outfit for Lightning in Dissidia 012.
I want to pick up the hard copy of the first two games. Particularly the black label of the first one, with a demo disc that has a Xenogears demo and a Final Fantasy VIII preview video. I enjoy little things like that.
I had this and it was "permanently borrowed" by someone over the years without my noticing who. Must have been one of my roommates. I had to re-buy a green label version instead. Lames. :(Quote:

I have a black label of the first two but I haven't played them in foreeeeeeeeeeever.
mrrrrrowl aya brea
collect 300 pieces of junk while you're having fun with parasite eve. buy it!
well update on my third birthday run....it's gotten pretty slow. It started out great, but after a dozen hours or so it's all just so repetitive:(
Parasite Eve was immense, but I sadly never got around to playing two and third birthday. Easily my most favourite non-ff RPG.
