Listen "Ep. 8 - Parasite Eve"
Episode Synopsis
For our first (and only?) holiday episode, we look at Squaresoft's foray into the horror genre, Parasite Eve! Lamont and Adrian talk about having a nice time at the opera, untangle the connection between the game and its original source material, struggle to comprehend the junk science nessecary to understanding the game's plot and do a deep dive into the evolution (heh) of Square's approach to battle systems. Is there a direct line between Parasite Eve and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth? Does posing the question itself automatically answer the question? You tell me!
