FFXIV x Parasite Eve

I remebered this game. Never played it but a friend would tell me about it. Also knowing that a dlc outfit was available for lightning in Dissidia Duodecim, but looking at the outfit i would like to get it in game or a version of it. Maybe, maybe not? What does community think?

I'd be all for it but seeing as the game is rated M, I can't imagine what kind of cross over or event they could possibly due outside of just armor based around Aya's everyday wear which would be just basic "Todays fashion". As I recall from the games, she wore a T-shirt and jeans, a black dress and I think in 2 she had a jacket. Not really much else to go over I think. Unless were talking 3rd Birthday (honestly hated that) I think she had a wide variety of odd outfits which ultimately ended up looking like a bikini top and booty shorts cus they would tear.

Much as I like Parasite Eve, I doubt it would work in Eorzea. The tone is WAY too different with PE being a Survival horror Sci-Fi RPG and Final Fantasy having a
(Low or high one of the two) Fantasy type of setting

An Aya outfit would be fine, but I feel that series is a bit too mature for a crossover or anything.

It's a wonderful game, but it will give you nightmares if you are less than capable of dealing with grotesque imagery.

Think maybe it could be possible to have a horror type of event or something of the like?

No, like really it wouldn't work at all, and probably wouldn't even be legal since this game is rated T for teen. Play the game sometime and you'll understand why.

I guess you could glamour the Chinese cash shop dress with the garo gun for the Aya chapter 1 look. I remember that game, back in the days when Square wasn't scared to try new things and break out of the jrpg genre. Hell we rarely if ever see cross company collaborations anymore. Games like Parasite Eve 2 will just be a foot note in the history of gaming.

meh

NieR Automata please

I love Parasite Eve, a lot... and I agree.

NieR Automata crossover event, the crossover everybody wants... even if they don't know it yet. Oh how I wish it so.

Parasite Eve was not even in PAL regions. Could never buy it in Australia, so I assume it was never localised for Europe.

There is more work done on the SaGa series with Scarlet Grace and now The Stage, live action Romancing SaGa 3. Parasite Eve is how old, and now seems a forgotten IP like Vagrant Story :/. I am Setsuna is getting more love with its' Switch version(new PVP mode).

Nintendo managed to work Solid Snake into Smash Bros just fine, I'm sure if SE wanted to do a cross-over event with Parasite Eve they could work it out. That said I don't think it'll happen either as their aren't nearly enough fantasy elements of FF type for it to work well.

The second boss in Sohm Al Hard (Spelling?)
Looked like a cross between Shin Godzilla and the Alligator that you fight in the sewers at the start of the first game.

You're missing out, it's available on PSN and easily emulated, it's really short too but in a short and sweet way, like 9-10 hours

Right in the feels. Luckily I still have my PS1 copies and a PS2 to play it on.

The DLC in 012 was to promote The 3rd Birthday (a.k.a. PE3), which was released for the PSP. PE3 also had a Lightning DLC.

I just don't think that would make a whole lot of sense. It was very easy to explain FFXIII's event and the outfits don't look out of place in XIV, but it could be more difficult with Parasite Eve. Not even because of the rating, but bc it has little to no fantasy elements. IIRC PE has magic (or at least the second did?), but its lore doesn't treat as something coming from the aether.

All the PE games had magic, it was the reason why Aya had powers, all the spells in that game were very similiar to Final Fantasy's too. (Heal, Heal 2, Heal 3)
That's why there's MP in the alligator screenshot.

Technically, Aya had Parasite Energy powers, allowing her to tap into her mitochondria to use many kinds of abilities. It was basically magic in a different name. The first game used PE (Parasite Energy), but the sequel used a more traditional MP (Mitochondria Points) branding.

Though when I think on it, maybe their nod are the crocs that you meet near Dragonhead camp/Temple of Qarn much like the rat enemy you meet the first time. Kinda wish we had an Off topic forum so we could just discuss this game alone, I actually played and beat normal like 3 times in a row before tackling the "True" endgame. I mean the idea is certainly interesting and think it could be done if they really wanted to, though when I think on the fact the last use of the IP was a horrible run and gun game, I hold little hope to any kind of cross over or main title.

Yeah, what I mean is that Parasite Eve lore didn't treat it as magic in the same way Final Fantasy does. Even in XIII, which is very sci-fi-ish, magic is not explained by science. In the case of PE, as Miles pointed out:

The acronyms might be the same, but what they mean is different. The magic in PE doesn't come from the planet or some supernatural force such as the Mist. It's not magic per say, but rather abilities granted by science.

I know it doesn't, hence "modern" magic. It's just magic in another name for the sake of simplicity.

The crocs at Quarn are just recycled FFXII mobs much like a majority of FFXIV's bestiary is.

If anything they're just a nod to the original game they came from.

If they did make an off topic forum it'd be nice if they lifted the post limit

But yeah I get what you mean, I knew it too but its just easier to just say it's magic even if it technically isn't.

Looking at the particular outfit, I can say yes. I do want this.

Considering how XIV's world is though, nothing is out of the "realm" of possibility.

She don't look like Aya Brea.
Aya is blonde

The outfit in question was Ayas outfit from 3rd Birthday but there was a code for Dissidia 012 in 3rd Birthday for Lightning (the pic) to wear. However just to say, a lot of her clothes are more modern, I don't know if they would. If they did, they may as well introduce normal outfits, though we do seem to be heading that way going from the whole medieval to victorian in HWs to what we are getting now. So who knows, perhaps?

Just to show, first was the one in question. The rest are what else was gained in 3rd birthday (or DLC, dunno)

This. While I personally don't think a direct reference (i.e, characters from Parasite Eve showing up in Eorzea) would work, I do think FFXIV would benefit from a questline with elements that are clear references to PE. Sort of like "PE, but adapted to the FFXIV mythos". We've already trudged into other tones with Hildybrand, Briarden and Edda, so I don't think it an impossibility.

You can play those games on an emulator through the CD option. It's how I play my old PS1 games since my PS1 died too.
And it's completely legal too since you own the original software.

That's because that's Lightning from FFXIII dressed up as Aya for a cross promotion.

Indeed. Aya in 3rd Birthday (the 3rd Parasite Eve from where Lightning got the clothes) had many cool outfits that I would love to see in FFXIV, but I think this is just a far dream actually.

I'm all for it if we can get that outfit ^^

No it doesn't fit plus the games are too old. We need an FFXV event. As for other games dunno seems SE is more interested into anime/tv shows crossovers more than anything.

Nooooo I want a FFXIV x Chrono Trigger!!!!!!! :_
