FFXIV x Parasite Eve

[Dualblade]

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".

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.


They don't make games like this anymore... :c

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?

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.

Emulated it for the first time in forever around Christmas last month, was ever better playing it the second time

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.

[MilesSaintboroguh]

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

Magic

Science in the 90's was pretty awesome.
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.
