There is a way to restore life to Aya (Hold 🔺button or overdrive once ) life meter will slowly increase

Monsters actually kick major ass, but you need to read the guides so you know what abilities you need to make what monster. Making a Black Dragon is the shit. Almost all of its attacks can do multi thousands of damage. There are several others that kick major ass too

Sounds like for this game they basically went back to the Romancing SaGa formula for setting and weapon types. SaGa Frontier was more like the first 3 games on GameBoy with the more sci-fi elements and monsters, robots and mystics as recruitable.

VMU not UMV ;)

Re1 remake did fmv backrounds properly.

You should review Valkyria Chronicles series they are great combination of RPGs and third person shooter.

Good stuff. Keep up the work. ^.^ 🦊

The weird thing is, Aya (original Aya) was portrayed accurately in those final moments of 3rd Birthday. So, at least one person on the dev team clearly understood Aya's character, and yet allowed all of the appalling shenanigans to happen anyway. That is why to me this feels more like malice than ignorance. Willful ignorance at an absolute minimum.

I had fun with this game but i can understand why the fans of the first two games didnt like it and why general audiences didnt like it.. i could see its flaws and it hurts because with a few tweaks and changes this couldve been a truely amazing game in my opinion for example ditch time travel that tends to be flops in japanese games

Im so (not) ready for this lmao

I want an re2r style parasite eve remake so badly 🥲

Pretty sure I didn’t play parasite Eve 1 but I loved this game back in the day. The paranormal abilities rocked combined with the resident evil gameplay

8:59 * you mean Uranus and Neptune

Why does this have less than 200k views?

I just recently beat all three games. One is a completely unique experience. There is nothing like it. Love PE1. But PE2 is my favorite from the bunch. I had so much fun playing that game. Loved it loved it loved it.

Personally, I disagree that the level design is uninspired...the prologue at the Akropolis Tower is superb and varied all the way through, and it has cool sublocations within itself like the cafeteria and the chapel where Rupert gets attacked by No. 9. I find Dryfield interesting because it's the game's attempt at horror in broad daylight, and you know everything will go to hell by the time it gets dark there. You barely fleshed out Neo Ark amongst the locations which is the neo-mitochondria's own version of Jurassic Park. 30:42 look at the water there, that was as good as water graphics got for me on the PSX, it made me want to drink the screen. I agree the laboratory at the end isn't the best of the package, but the first three Resident Evil games also ended up in some sort of laboratory, and I like that this lab at least is fleshed out more than in RE1 or RE3, and is more like the lab from RE2 which has different underground levels and serves more than just a place to quickly visit and fight a boss before it all explodes. Also, another thing that stands out to me in regards to the level design is the flavor text, this quote from TV Tropes sums it really good for me: "Parasite Eve 2 has an enormous amount of flavor text when you examine every part of the environment-multiple times! The protagonist Aya reveals quite a lot of her own inner thoughts and the backstory when you do this. Visually, the environments are hyper-detailed and gorgeous, especially for the time in which this game was made. The designer cared about the level design."

Parasite Eve II is an absolute masterpiece, I still play it now in 2024!!!

those in bEtWeEn meh

at the time they were not called JRPG they were called just RPG

I love the first one, this one is also good, the third one isn't even called Parasite eve. It's a shame, there should be a worldwide campaign asking the author of the book to release the name to Square Enix and for them to make the rameke

Are the generator brothers considered actually boss fights?

I love this game! I realize that in nearly all RPG or survival-horror games, one weapon is simply better than another. Here, the power of the weapon comes from the ammo type. The whole game is like a giant puzzle; you can list every enemy in the game and compare it to every weapon and ammo type, spell and item. Almost every battle can be ripped through in just seconds if you know what you're doing. Beyond just power, there's numerous strategic techniques for most creatures. Horses ("Llamas", Chasers) can be knocked down with a riot grenade, flare, the hammer (stun gun rifle attachment) or Level 2 pyrokenesis. Slime are taken out by poison (necrosis spell), and affected by fire like the pyke, pyrokenesis, FireFly (incindiary shotgun slugs) or regular grenades. Heat based attacks are good on the divers and fatties (the ones you used the hammer on). Light paralyzes scavengers and spiders. And the list goes on.

Even if you can get a good ending while letting Flint die, it's still a bad ending because it's a world in which Flint is dead.

My mitochondria taking over my body keeps me up at night.

I think of this the same way I do dino crisis 2. A change in the formula from their brilliant first games to their somewhat lackluster sequels. Though some people like these 2 they just aren’t for me..as to this day I just can’t stomach going through either of them. But…yeah sorry for my whining lol great video as always

Lol, you didn't learn music theory because you went to public school. I guess there is no other way to learn music theory.

Love parasite eve 2. While the 1st game has a better story and the battle system is more unquie, the second one has more replayability

I got this as a kid and got so confused had to exchange it and got BoF3 instead, looking back I don't regret getting BoF3 but I do regret not keeping this one.

That third field battle... 😬

If anything they should have gone harder on memes, Metal Gear Revengence style.

Great video I played this game back in the ps1 era cause my cousin had it and we beat it over the weekend, I remember seeing both scenes at end and that's left handed comment is still saved in my memory that's how remarkable this game was ❤

Knew you would get flamed for the music comment. Plenty of good somds between both but the final teo battles for the egg are the best final boss osts out of every rpg ive played

Subbed and commenting for the algo

This game was a mess with questionable game design. I'm playing it for the first time. 😮

We gotta go Assassin's Creed Shadow, AAAA, with DEI, LGBT, all the nice letters.

Sperm.

Would love a remake of both 1 and 2. PE never got the love it deserved, the book is mediocre at best and the movie flat out sucks. Love the video and appreciate the time spent

Meh

well researched and presented. I never played it but remember seeing some marketing for its sequel. Not a fan of the game, but i still watched the whole thing

I think there was some crucial misunderstanding about how builds work in this game. You dont need nor want to get gear with high affinities for EACH AND EVERY job. In fact, while having a job equipped naturally increases said job affinity, you dont need to focus on that specific affinity to make a build. For example, my summoner build only reaches 250% summoner affinity. The rest are stuff like 600 dragoon, 400 void knight, 400 knight, etc. Since those bonuses are generally useful for any build centered on lightbringer, I could swap a few details and get it ready to a new job without issue. Of course, if I wanted a build centered on parrying or some other random thing I'd need to grind for it (maybe 2-3 hours, which is, admittedly, too much for me to care about every playstyle).

WTF man the soundtrack for this game is INCREDIBLE ?? The battle themes ?? Feldslacht 1 2 3 are a marvel of leitmotif use... This game is incredible, my only complain is that the gameplay is a little redundant... I pray everyday for a remaster of this wonderful game, akin to what we've got for the first one

Damn, an hour long video about the game that I had so much to say about, it didn't fit in a steam review character limit. A slept on lil thing that I found to be my favorite Nioh game and maybe even FF game too. The only thing I think of adding is how great it plays with friends in coop, where strategies between teammates can go beyond "press d-pad buttons to go all out". Otherwise great points, the class variety alone had me invested enough to not mind the grind until affinity min-maxing comes into play (and I mean consulting charts for the threshold bonuses of different classes kind of min-maxing).

me, barely playing FF titles: I love FF13 For....gayness Im here for Lightning and thats all I got.

Great vid! As a recent XIII player, I respect that they didn't give up on turn based/atb and were still trying to innovate on it and keep it fresh without going to a completely action based system.

The crazy thing is, I actually bought a PS2 and this was the first game I bought lol. Awesome game. Great Video!

24:57 Please tell me what song this is. It’s so good 😭

Saga is one of the best franchise of all time but I'm not a fan of novel RPG so I prefer the first Saga frontier. I remember when SF2 came out and I'm so excited. I can say this is a good game and story telling is great but I'm bore after playing for 2-3 hours. 🥲

I Still have my original sh2 and the entire collection of sh but, I need to buy a sp2 cause mine died

You should follow up with a retrospective of the remaster.

Well, as others have pointed out, there are a lot of flaws in your opinions. It's not that you cannot have them, but you're pretty much using missinformation to vent about how you feel about games preservation. Yes, games ARE getting lost through time (literally abandonwares). But you used terrible examples. SH2 is NOT locked into the PS2. You forgot to mention that there's an Xbox edition (Restless Dreams) where they made a special scenario with Maria (Born from a Wish) and that was re-released to both PS2/PC. Literally, the ONLY way to play right now Silent Hill 2 (and I think we all agree is the RIGHT way, besides owning either an xbox/ps2) is to play on PC, the enhanced version. About homecoming: again, terrible example. For a VERY long time it was the only SH you could legally buy (on PC). If your argument is that you want to play the games on the OG consoles, that's okay, but there are many games that you can legally buy on PC (or just pirate them, who cares). About Konami "westernization", the problem wasn't that they chose western devs, it was that they tried to save as much money as they could, that's why they axed team silent. Hell the entire reason why SH even exists is cuz they wanted a copy of RE but they gave little money to a bunch of devs that made mid-terrible games (inside Konami). So, they literally hired small newly studios with newbie devs who had no idea what they were doing. Look up the studios, the vast majority of them don't exist. So, that's also one of the reasons why you cannot buy them. Finally, Konami literally DON'T care about games, is all about money. The only reason why they're doing the remake is money (which in itself is not bad), the issue is that it's disingenuous since they're leading people into believe that they're doing it to bring back the franchise... Which isn't true. it just money. They literally SCREAMED to us, on 2020, that they lost half of their revenue with their casinos/gyms (their main source of money) cuz covid (you can do a simple 2 minutes google search and find it, here is one -> g3newswire.com/japan-konami-loses-half-its-gaming-revenue-due-to-global-pandemic/) If covid didn't happen, we can be SURE that they wouldn't bring back the series, since it was never too profitable. People love it but it has never bring them much money as MGS, castlevania or RE.
