You see, the Chrysler Building is 77 floors of nothing but enemies to fight. That's.that's about the extent of nice things I have to say about the Chrysler Building.

Tall building? Glowing ominously? Remember that? You remember the Chrysler Building, right? The final big feature of the EX Game is an all new location: the Chrysler Building. More BP means more crazy guns, so I approve.Īs you can see, Wayne still has everything in his storage waiting for us.Įven a load of Junk that will become very, VERY useful eventually. Pictured: The entire plot of Parasite Eve.Īnother nice thing about EX Mode is that completing a Day awards you with a truckload of BP for no reason. His defense and HP is definitely higher, but none of his attacks can hit me for more than 1 damage. As such, it lasts about 20 seconds.Ĭrocomire is also an oddball. Oddly enough, Eve didn't seem to get the same buff as her minions for this fight. It mimics its owner's agonizing death screams. Oh, and here's that parrot I missed waaaaay back when. It's generally just enough to make them roughly as difficult to kill as they were first time around, with a choice few suddenly becoming actual problems.īeing Level 1 isn't helping Aya any, either. You see, in order to compensate for the no doubt ludicrous firearm you built the first time through, all the baddies now get a buff to keep up. You know the deal.Īnother thing that changes in the EX game is the enemies. Anything else in your inventory at the end of the game is gone, but stuff in Wayne's storage is still there.īlah blah metal blah blah. Outside of the new area, the plot is completely unchanged.Īlthough we get booted back down to a measly level one (and effectively waste all the BP I foolishly invested in AT and Item Capacity ), we get to keep whatever weapon and armor we let Wayne name for us. The game starts the exact same way, and we even get a second chance to rename Aya to DONGS if you are so inclined. So, if you wanted to tear through NYC with your crazy endgame arsenal, GOOD NEWS! You see, upon returning to the main menu, we find this shiny new option: The EX Game.ĮX Game is basically just New Game+, with a new dungeon and an alternate ending.


#Parasite eve junk series#
The series died out after The 3rd Birthday tanked in sales, so a remake of the original game could remind the public of what made the series so special in the first place.Part 39: Episode 39: Fuck the Chrysler Building Episode 39: Fuck the Chrysler Building

With its combat system being almost identical to Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Parasite Eve could even share the same engine and some of the development resources made for the game. Speaking of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Parasite Eve is perfectly primed for a remake as well. That alone is worth some extended play time, if one is interested. Also, the game has a few hidden areas, with one especially large area hiding a secret ending. The battle system is fondly remembered for being the predecessor to Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s “real-time with pause” ATB system. While it technically has less weapon, spell, and party member variety than the average RPG of its era, they’re still present (except for the party, as only Aya is playable). The debate on Parasite Eve’s replay value is an interesting one, given that it is quite gameplay-focused.
