History Main / ParasiteEve

* ShownTheirWork: Oh god, where to start? The novel actually have a glosary with the difficult terms and a bibliography for all the medical description on transplants, rejection, antibiotics and hospital stuff in general. The novel could be clasified as Medical Porn.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse?: Adverted with [[spoiler:Eve-2, Eve-3 and other Eve cultives]]. Played straight with Kiyomi's childhood friend.

* GoMadFromTheRevelation : Inverted with [[spoiler:Toshiaki]], who go ''sane'' from the revelation on is first MyGodWhatHaveIDone.

!!Provides Examples Of:

** Not to mention some official artwork of a [[LesYay seemingly-naked Eve biting a seemingly-naked Aya's ear]], though [[YourMilageMayVary the fact that Eve has a large mutated claw may ruin it for some]]

* BigApplesauce: For a JRPG, this is a rather interesting setting.

** Bonus dungeon, hell - [[AndyWaltfeld This Troper]] has firsthand experience with Chrysler and can reliably affirm that we're in BonusLevelOfHell territory.

* DidIMentionItsChristmas: This is a great example of getting to watch the good people celebrate Xmas 1996 through spontaneous combustion and mass melting.

** To clarify, the Super Tool Kit ITSELF is not an InfinityPlusOneSword, but rather whatever you upgrade using it, since it allows you to limitlessly pull off the bonus points and attributes from all of your other equipment and consolidate them on the weapon and armor of your choice.

* FightWoosh: A quick inversion of colors, accompanied by a heartbeat sound effect in the first game.

* CloningBlues: (in Parasite Eve 2.)
* ClothingDamage: According to the Devs, in The 3rd Birthday the more Aya is damaged, the more her clothes will rip and fall off. No official word on just how far this can go, though judging by the series' history with fanservice it seems likely that poor Aya won't be wearing much if she takes too much damage.
* CollisionDamage: Done in the first game where simply ''brushing against'' enemies inflicts ScratchDamage on Aya.

* CrowningMusicofAwesome: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGWa4Zm0YDA Primal Eyes]], full stop.
* CursedWithAwesome: Aya's mitochrondrial powers seem to be lacking the villainous insanity and BodyHorror that other people in this series go through--she received the "special" mitochondria when she was still a child, and unlike Melissa, Aya's mitochondria evolved to the point where they are symbiotic with her body and work with her instead of taking outright control.

* ObviousBeta: ''Parasite Eve'' was, by and large, a tech demo for the graphics engine that would later fuel ''FinalFantasyVIII''. Luckily, it still managed to be a decent game in its own right.

The third game was originally announced for Japanese cellphones but has since been changed to a PSP game; it's not out yet as of 2010. ''The 3rd Birthday'' apparently involves time travel. [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome And Aya in a wedding dress shooting things]], [[NeverTrustATrailer if the promos are to be believed.]] Speculation is that the game is not billed as "Parasite Eve" because Capcom doesn't want to pay to keep using the license, which should really matter only for the title and nothing else.
