Though Parasite Eve was a novel in Japan before and adapted to both a movie & this PS1 game sequel. Though I hope one day they do a movie of this with fun and love + respect!
Yo, I did a number of voices in this including Torres and the quiz machine, just came in here to say thanks for having me on as always, and I look forward to the next release!
3rd birthday is not that bad, it's actually fun because of using other people lives for aya, you die just use the next one, it's funny if you think about it when aya purposefully die because she hates a guy
Voice of Wayne here, and you do not need a permit to watch this video 😉 Thanks Rab, for allowing me to contribute to a parody of a game I loved playing on the PS1, this was a fun trip down memory lane!
I was so expecting a sleep off instead of ambulance joke at start and then was like, oh right, this isn’t a final fantasy. Then the by the way joke happened, we could’ve both! This is absolutely hilarious btw! People going bweh when they died always got me cackling.
No jokes about Lucas being a concept stealing hack and using the Mitochondria powers concept for his Metachlorians? I'm pretty sure the timeline fits. 😅
should have been telling aya that not only is there going to be second game but a third game originally intended for mobile that would truly scare the hell out of her
Eve was a hell of a lot of fun to play~ Though I still have no idea wtf was going on. Also I'm sick right now and sound a lot more like the voice I did for Joan Rivers which is real weird.
I think they changed up stuff from the novel, but that's kind of par for the course in many adaptations. And the novel was also adapted into a live action film I'd love to get my hands on, not that I've read the novel, same with Battle Royale, which I've read the manga and seen the live action film
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. Like how slowly Aya walks. Painful.
I’m actually both impressed and somewhat disappointed that Rabtoons managed to not make an abortion joke. A major boss being a literal mutant baby kind of leaves an opening for it.😅
Ya know, I'd kill to see RAB do the Persona series. With some of the crazy shit that happens there, it'd definitely fit in with the rest of their stuff.

This was amazing for us who loved the game and the character. Let's just hope modern S-E doesn't RE-ruin it like everything else of late if they do ever get the rights back from its creator. Have a RedBull on me!
Square Enix (formally Squaresoft) was definitely a major reason why the OG Playstation did so well in terms of sales. Some of their games were mega hits, others were cult classics. No wonder they stuck around on Playstation for so long.
I loved that game, but I got stuck on the Dinosaurs fight and my CD stopped working. I've never finished it, but this video allowed me to relive it so many years later! That's awesome! Thank you!
I have to say I love it, Parasite eve is one of my favorite games of all time, Really love it how you mention the book and movie, Plus Love the reference to Ghostbuster 2 and Godzilla 98. Great job totally going to added in my favorites

@@Moonlight-x5z Sephiroth is Hojo son. But he slept with lucrecia. Jenova cells where just artificially put into sephiroth while he was in the womb of Lucrecia. I met to say Hojo probably would have gotten freaky with Jenova body. My bad 🤣

Dr. Klamp seems interesting. I enjoy odd ball characters. 🤣 The video is still funny thou even if it is a bit incorrect 🤣
Very telling when a parody channel acknowledges a well-received IP more than your company has in the past. No hard jabs Square, you have been bringing us some solid remakes/remasters in the last few years.
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.
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.
@@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
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.
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
@@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!
Yay, the game that Square made that has a great female lead, amazing battle system, unique setting and a creepy atmosphere is finally getting a nutshell! I see great things in Aya's future........What do you mean there is no more games after 1. Huh odd, I would think people would love a detective from New York fighting monsters but anyway, great job as always guys!
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!)
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.
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
@@navigamez6607 Thing is I did find factts on them keeping in the dark about PE 1 story till it came out. But I found absolutely nothing on him regarding PE2 or what you just stated him hating it and preventing SE from making anymore games involving his book! So can I get a source for the latter please! Also I think they brought up Parasite Eve recently and an interest to make a Sequel (weird since PE2 and Third Birthday exist) when they were talking about remakes to games like Vagrant Story! Whatever comes out of that remains to be seen! But I think I also heard on Reddit (so don't take it too serious) that it may not have been because of the Sena nothing more was made! or What happened with the Third Birthday (Looked into Development and turns out it wasn't because of anything to do with Sena! The director for 3rd Birthday was the reason everything to do with Parasite Eve wasn't in it because they felt Parasite Eve 2 story kind of made a sequel impossible....despite the fact there's NO WAY something as big as the Cult that made Neo-Ark could ALL have been cleaned up and taken care of at the end of PE2. Or the NMC were gone as the ANMC were just something NEW when they established the NMC were still around and needed to be hunted! I mean 3rd Birthday showed they didn't even NEED to use AYA per say since EVE could have been the protagonist! They did say her powers disappeared but then they said AYA'S powers disappeared after Parasite Eve 1, but they still came back and were around, hell it's the reason she's still YOUNG LOOK in PE2l) Here's what I found under Development of 3rd Birthday on wiki (you can find it yourself there if you want to read the WHOLE Development, I only took from the last paragraph of it) "While many of the concepts for the final version were present in the original mobile version, such as Overdive and the Twisted, the original story was scrapped when the game came to upgraded platforms. In creating the story for The 3rd Birthday, the team took inspiration from the 10-year gap in the character's in-game and real-time history. This meant that it would be difficult to create a straightforward sequel, so the team instead decided to make the game about Aya's return. Toriyama imagined story concepts such as the snowy New York setting and the image of a bloodstained wedding dress. These two concepts survived the platform upgrade. Over the course of the development, he adjusted the plot numerous times to be more adult-oriented and to include complex narrative twists. The original concept was to make the game feel like a television drama, with multiple cliffhangers and moments of high drama. The game was designed from the outset as having no direct connection to the previous Parasite Eve games. The game's title came from it being Aya's third video game appearance, as well as it being a noticeable change in setting. The game's logo was designed to both look like the letter "B" and the number "3". It was originally only going to represent the number, but Nomura added the extra lines to display the game's "multi-faceted" nature. A notable addition was the option to skip cutscenes, a feature the team regretted leaving out of Crisis Core." Still makes no sense as again THE NMC STILL EXIST! I feel the Director just wanted to make his OWN stuff while relying on as LITTLE of Sena stuff as possible. Hence the NMC became "The Twisted" but like with Kingdom Hearts, they got OVERLY Ambitious with the plot. 3rd Birthday was suppose to be an Episodic SIDE STORY on the Mobile like what they did with FFIV the After Years! (And we know how that ended) Not a main entry after all!
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.
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. ❤
@@BJGvideos it was, a lot of time travel was involved. I played a mad scientist out to create the ultimate army to conquer his world full of genetically altered humans. I got a group of people to roleplay the highly detailed plot. We even made call signs, and raided yahoo roleplay chat. It was a legendary time that we have lost from the Internet. That was when 4chan was in it's infancy.
I'm going to hold on to my "Not funny, Didn't Laugh" ticket until you *Actually* make something that I don't find funny. Challenge Rating: **impossible**
thanks rabtoons for reminding what a clusterfuck the plot of this game was, i seem to be attracted to early video game plots that make all the sense in the world if you dont think about anything for more then 2 seconds lol
Maeda: if you read this 300-page novel, everything about Eve will make perfect sense me: if you look for secret info at the hospital, it makes it seem like the little girl from the book is Aya's mom. except that according to wikipedia there's a discrepancy in the timeline
*Later, in Parasite Eve 2* Aya: Who are you? Eve: I'm Sherry Birki- I mean Eve. I'm a clone of you. Aya: Great, now we're really Alone in Metal Final Resident Gear Fantasy Evil the Solid Dark!
The only other Squaresoft game from that Era to use the same combat system as Parasite Eve was Vagrant Story. I could be wrong, but I played almost every PS1 Squaresoft game except Front Missison(3, I think). I wish they had made new Bushido Blade games on consoles that could handle the graphics and game play.
Y'know what I think of you, and your video? Raises one thumbs up, then makes it two thumbs up, and leaves. Thanks for the opportunity, RAB! Reall cool to see a Nutshell of one of my favorite games!
Shame we couldn't fit in the opening with the crying statue of liberty, and the rat transformation. Cause those were honestly the only two things I remembered from this as a kid.
@@RABtoons also me laughing like i was a former zanarkand player affected by sin toxin paired with the awkwardness of being the first dubbed voice in ff , when i heard it is a fact 🤣🤣 another masterpiece
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…
@scuff4094 In Starfox Adventures the final boss who has been built up the entire game gets defeated automatically in a cutscene after you fight him for less than a minute.

PE1 was created using the same engine as FF7
Though Parasite Eve was a novel in Japan before and adapted to both a movie & this PS1 game sequel. Though I hope one day they do a movie of this with fun and love + respect!

Okay, so Mitochondria Eve on some levels just might be more genuinely frightening than JENOVA.
I agree. We all have Mitochondria inside us. Just don't get injected with JENOVA cells and you'll be ok.
I do hope that Rabtoons will do parodies of the entire Parasite Eve series, including Third Birthday, the worst game of them all.
I actually enjoyed 3rd birthday... Very unique take on third person. Shooter
There was a third game :O ?
@@LeonMSG There is. It's called Third Birthday due to legal rights issues with the Author of the Parasite Eve novels. It's only a PSP exclusive.

This is absolutely hilarious btw! People going bweh when they died always got me cackling.
This video asks the difficult questions because Parasite Eve really shook up the scientific consensus about where pee is stored.
Pee is stored in the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the balls.
Mitochondria's a hell of a drug.
"He's gonna make a great cop someday" just sent me. 😂
Daniel's on fire in this nutshell, damn.

Parasite Eve 3 was fun to play though it sucked in terms of the story! P.e.2 was not that bad but couldn't live up. Some Originals are just classics
Knowing them, they’ll use timelines and multiverse in a remake. Making the storyline more convoluted than it should be
I always felt bad for the police dog and the horse when I played this around 1999 in my early twenties.
The walk to the stage did feel long as hell lol absolutely love the game still
Almost felt like as soon as you got to Eve, she'd say "In the time it took you to get here, I taught myself how to knit" or something like that
Would've been funny if Eve was reading the novel the game was based on while the sounds of Aya's heels were clicking in the background
The cell phone joke is particularly funny because the game takes place in like 1998 and that phone would have been half the size of her.
They had flip phones in the early 2000s. And the regular cell phones of 1998 would at least fit in your hand.
Square Enix (formally Squaresoft) was definitely a major reason
why the OG Playstation did so well in terms of sales. Some of
their games were mega hits, others were cult classics. No
wonder they stuck around on Playstation for so long.

The director for 3rd Birthday was the reason everything to do with Parasite Eve wasn't in it because they felt Parasite Eve 2 story kind of made a sequel impossible....despite the fact there's NO WAY something as big as the Cult that made Neo-Ark could ALL have been cleaned up and taken care of at the end of PE2. Or the NMC were gone as the ANMC were just something NEW when they established the NMC were still around and needed to be hunted! I mean 3rd Birthday showed they didn't even NEED to use AYA per say since EVE could have been the protagonist! They did say her powers disappeared but then they said AYA'S powers disappeared after Parasite Eve 1, but they still came back and were around, hell it's the reason she's still YOUNG LOOK in PE2l) Here's what I found under Development of 3rd Birthday on wiki (you can find it yourself there if you want to read the WHOLE Development, I only took from the last paragraph of it)
"While many of the concepts for the final version were present in the original mobile version, such as Overdive and the Twisted, the original story was scrapped when the game came to upgraded platforms. In creating the story for The 3rd Birthday, the team took inspiration from the 10-year gap in the character's in-game and real-time history. This meant that it would be difficult to create a straightforward sequel, so the team instead decided to make the game about Aya's return. Toriyama imagined story concepts such as the snowy New York setting and the image of a bloodstained wedding dress. These two concepts survived the platform upgrade. Over the course of the development, he adjusted the plot numerous times to be more adult-oriented and to include complex narrative twists. The original concept was to make the game feel like a television drama, with multiple cliffhangers and moments of high drama. The game was designed from the outset as having no direct connection to the previous Parasite Eve games. The game's title came from it being Aya's third video game appearance, as well as it being a noticeable change in setting. The game's logo was designed to both look like the letter "B" and the number "3". It was originally only going to represent the number, but Nomura added the extra lines to display the game's "multi-faceted" nature. A notable addition was the option to skip cutscenes, a feature the team regretted leaving out of Crisis Core."
Still makes no sense as again THE NMC STILL EXIST! I feel the Director just wanted to make his OWN stuff while relying on as LITTLE of Sena stuff as possible. Hence the NMC became "The Twisted" but like with Kingdom Hearts, they got OVERLY Ambitious with the plot. 3rd Birthday was suppose to be an Episodic SIDE STORY on the Mobile like what they did with FFIV the After Years! (And we know how that ended) Not a main entry after all!
"Felt like $h!+, took a bunch of drugs. Felt like $h!+ again, and took a bunch more drugs" Lol That is basically what happened.
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.
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. ❤
Let them know we'll be tackling more Resident Evil as our old RE4 ones are quite dated now!
Dr Klamp: "Something, something... Mitochondria!" At least I got warm and toasty at the end.
14:25 I was one second away from spending my "Not Funny. Didn't laugh" coupons, but I decided not to. Those NMCs are silly enough.
I'm so happy, thank you for this! One of my fav games in a nutshell by one of my fav channels! Keep it up! Do neir and drakegarde lmfao
I had so much damn fun roleplaying with a crossover of Evangelion of this. Many stories to tell, ask if you'd like to know more.
That sounds awesome
@@BJGvideos it was, a lot of time travel was involved. I played a mad scientist out to create the ultimate army to conquer his world full of genetically altered humans. I got a group of people to roleplay the highly detailed plot. We even made call signs, and raided yahoo roleplay chat. It was a legendary time that we have lost from the Internet. That was when 4chan was in it's infancy.
Wow, that sounds interesting. Can you give me a summary?
9:22 Does that mean Aya is a nerd?
Yes.
Yes.
You have to wonder how many times the kid blocks the Japanese guy in this parody.
So epic that Leeeeroy Jeeeenkis phrase 😂😂
This deserves a million views! Hope they do a remake of this classic.
Legitimately amazing. Remember making a lot of these same comments as a kid like, "what the hell, you have a remote nuke!?" 😂😂😂
actually
the shining red eyes in the ending is not BAD ending
it's just now Aya can control other people mitochondria like Eve, while keeping her mind
I'm going to hold on to my "Not funny, Didn't Laugh" ticket until you *Actually* make something that I don't find funny.
Challenge Rating: **impossible**
Challenge accepted.
Looking forward to this. I should play this again someday, it’s been 25 years since I’ve beaten it.
The Self aware, being in her own video game Aya is one thing I never knew I needed. God I love this channel so much 😂
thanks rabtoons for reminding what a clusterfuck the plot of this game was, i seem to be attracted to early video game plots that make all the sense in the world if you dont think about anything for more then 2 seconds lol
When you're finished with this series (and after The 3rd Birthday, EVERYONE was finished with this series), consider doing the Castlevania franchise.
We do NOT speak of the game after parasite eve 2
Maeda: if you read this 300-page novel, everything about Eve will make perfect sense
me: if you look for secret info at the hospital, it makes it seem like the little girl from the book is Aya's mom. except that according to wikipedia there's a discrepancy in the timeline
Oh the Resident Fantasy Evil, so that's why the dude that went with Aya to the opera dissapears.
To be fair in the original the dog thing that killed torres is different than the standard enemies and she catches it mid act killing another cop
So glad I listened to the very end.
MITOCHONDRIA
*Later, in Parasite Eve 2*
Aya: Who are you?
Eve: I'm Sherry Birki- I mean Eve. I'm a clone of you.
Aya: Great, now we're really Alone in Metal Final Resident Gear Fantasy Evil the Solid Dark!
Wow, never expected you to do Parasite Eve!
This was worth the long wait. Hope we get part 2 eventually
This should be fun. Won't stop Hubert from not resisting
*STOP RESISTING!!"*
WhyyyYYYyyYy does this outro shred so much harder than the track from the game?? I need the full track link 😂
You can hear it here: ua-cam.com/video/xPWKWApElWA/v-deo.html
Thanks dude, you ever consider doing a parody of The Bouncer or Zone of the Enders 1 or 2? Could be a hit with the old-school gamers.
Remember pulling many ‘all nighters’ with my college roommates trying to beat this frustrating af game.
Aya is such a loose cannon. The chief really should have taken her off the case and had her hand in her gun and badge.
THANK YOU.
@@RABtoons You're welcome! I love this videos and I'm mad that YT waited almost a week to show me that y'all had released this.
So excited about this! Love this game and love all your ff parodies ❤😂
Every “weeeeeee” cracks me up.
The only other Squaresoft game from that Era to use the same combat system as Parasite Eve was Vagrant Story. I could be wrong, but I played almost every PS1 Squaresoft game except Front Missison(3, I think). I wish they had made new Bushido Blade games on consoles that could handle the graphics and game play.
Y'know what I think of you, and your video?
Raises one thumbs up, then makes it two thumbs up, and leaves.
Thanks for the opportunity, RAB! Reall cool to see a Nutshell of one of my favorite games!
🎉 I didn’t know I needed this, crazy cause I just rewatched all the ff vids just to run out right when this is going on countdown.
Shame we couldn't fit in the opening with the crying statue of liberty, and the rat transformation. Cause those were honestly the only two things I remembered from this as a kid.
15:29 I appreciate that one specific scene from the 1998 American Godzilla movie being referenced here 😂
All this time, I thought Torres and Wayne were their last names.
Towards the ends the actor says " pee is stored in the balls " in italian 😂😂😂
Facts.
@@RABtoons also me laughing like i was a former zanarkand player affected by sin toxin paired with the awkwardness of being the first dubbed voice in ff , when i heard it is a fact 🤣🤣 another masterpiece
There's so much meme material Aya's misadventures offered in the 3 games. It's really unused lol.
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…
I guess this video is "gonna age like milk"
So Third Birthday eff’d us over again?
Also, SE burned bridges with the book’s original author so a remake of the first game probably won’t happen.
This was amazing, I can hardly wait to see what you guys do next!
You know it's real funny when Maeda is sanest person in the whole video.
legit can't wait for PE2 in a nutshell now.
20:55 star fox adventures in a nutshell sometime in the future
Yeah I didn't get that one..could anyone elaborate?
@scuff4094 In Starfox Adventures the final boss who has been built up the entire game gets defeated automatically in a cutscene after you fight him for less than a minute.
@@RABtoonsSounds fitting, but that is pretty lame XD
Aya : "It's Christmas Eve! Who's performing, Jesus?"
Love your work, great video!
