Got through all the Final Fantasy nutshells and so glad to see other games in the series. Hilarious takes on some popular games, especially the moments that point out the obvious annoyances or plot holes in games we might not have noticed when we played them way-back-when.

It’s curious, I came to your channel to show to a friend the video from Resident Evil 4 that I watched like 10 years ago and then I find a video from Parasite Eve, an almost 30 years old game that you posted this week. I’m so glad that are people that still talking about this perfect game. ❤

[@RABtoons]

Let them know we'll be tackling more Resident Evil as our old RE4 ones are quite dated now!

[@willw6504]

I came here to say one thing: Xenogears in a Nutshell. DO IT. (No, wait, I lied. Two things. Great video! Parasite Eve is an old favorite of mine, and this was a fun trip. Thanks for all the hard work!)

[@EclipseHighroller]

Random fact: Parasite Eve was one of the 2 original story ideas for final fantasy 7 before they landed on the one everyone knows. The other story idea ended up becoming the story of Xenogears.

[@willw6504]

Xenogears was, but I'm pretty sure the parasite eve novel predates the games. **quick google search** Yeah, the book came first, so Parasite Eve was never a potential FF7. Still one of the best Squaresoft RPGs of all time, but not an original IP. Xenogears thou - my favorite game ever. I'd love to see RAB do a Xenogears in a nutshell.

[@EclipseHighroller]

@@willw6504 for ff7, the story idea that late became parasite eve, was originally going to be a detective like game that takes place in New York. After it was turned down for ff7, they discovered the story of the parasite eve novel and decided to fuse the 2. So the story for parasite eve was originally going to be ff7, it just was fully fleshed out after they fused the elements from the parasite eve book with the story they had so far. So yeah, again, Parasite eves story outside the parts that came from the novel, we’re going to be ff7 originally

[@GyariSan-kj8lr]

One thing I've heard is that Parasite Eve was kinda used as a technical demo for FFVIII, in the sense that many of the character-tool systems among other things within the game's internal features was used for FFVIII's development. It also is not often uncommon for game developers to do that sort of thing. Examples being Bully being used by Rockstar for GTA IV's developmental tool testing, & Square Enix using FFXV for FFVII Remake.

[@Mr_Trper]

xenogears was originally supposedly to be FF7 but due to the religion arc of the story it were to be too controversial so Square soft before Square changed it name due to the marger re did the whole game

[@xikonorris5874]

@@Mr_Trper Xenogears was never "supposed" to be ff7. Yes it was proposed as a possible story, but that was it. Btw, was "due to the marger" a reference to the Square Enix merger? That was half a decade after ff7 and xenogears!

[@HarbingerYT]

3:11 Glad to be the voice of the reporter who wants to know why Parasite Eve is never going to be rereleased. Seriously though, Square really needs to sort out the stuff and rerelease the games.

[@scuff4094]

That would be a question for Kadokawa or Hideki Sena.

[@HarbingerYT]

Also mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

[@navigamez6607]

Hideaki Sena pretty much stated he'd never allow them to make a game again based on his IP. it's the reason the third game was called 3rd birthday and removed references to mitochondria and removed pretty much all of the references to existing world building other than the original creations in the games owned by squaresoft. he was upset because was kept in the dark about the story direction until it released so he had no involvement in it's creation. i'm not sure if he had prior knowledge of the creation or the publisher went behind his back. he disliked the first game but did not interfere with the series until after the second game released which he really hated. at that point he made it clear he would not tolerate another game. I had harbored some hidden hope that while making new games would be out due to this licensing issue there might be enough wiggle room to remake a game that they did have the rights to when published. given that it's never happened my guess is that it's not possible, especially since these types of games are killing it in the industry. so essentially the only way this will ever happen is if Hideaki is willing to change his mind or just sells the IP to his publisher who then deals with squarenix. given his stance I feel it's unlikely. could always try handwriting a letter to the author i guess

[@CrystalPrelude]

Damn it. It's been so long since I played this that I don't even remember 90 percent of the game. I remember the concert in the park, the flaming horse, and the dress Aya wore at the beginning. Because, of course I do. Edit: Nice Godzilla(Not Godzilla) reference.

Such as...

[@CHECKthisvid]

3:13 From Parasite Eve 1's Wikipedia page: "Before The 3rd Birthday's release in 2010, both Yoshinori Kitase and Tetsuya Nomura discussed the re-release of Parasite Eve and Parasite Eve II. The release was being held up partly due to the series rights being co-owned with Hideaki Sena. The game was later released in both Japan and North America on the PlayStation Network in 2010 and 2011, respectively. In 2018, the game was included in the Japanese lineup of the PlayStation Classic." Hideaki Sena wrote the original novel the games are based on, btw…
