It’s a lot of dots to connect, but this concept does prove one thing: this series has tons of potential. This would allow Aya her own Parasite Energy abilities as well. Of course, one of Maya’s eyes was also preserved for Aya, as it would be used to correct a birth defect in Aya’s right cornea. This event allows Eve to develop in Melissa as her new host, making her the antagonist of the first game. As you might guess, they end up in a fatal car crash, and Maya’s kidney is donated to a young Melissa Pearce. Thanks to Eve’s control, Mariko and Maya are both registered as organ donors. Maya’s importance is crucial, as she is the next stage of Eve. Mariko would later give birth to twins: Maya and Aya. The Eve infected kidney was extracted and then given to a 14 year old Mariko Anzai, passing Eve on to her. After having Kiyomi become an organ donor, Eve forced her into a car crash, leaving her brain dead before being taken off life support.īeing an organ donor, this meant that Kiyomi’s organs were now available for those in need. After several years of development, Eve found a man named Toshiaki Nagashima, considering him to be an eligible mate for her ultimate being. The original book covers most of this, where a woman named Kiyomi was Eve’s original host. Eve’s goal? She wishes to bring humanity to extinction and replace them with lifeforms that can control their genetic code. This allows her to make humans do her bidding and put the pieces of her grand scheme together. Not only does it make her deadly, but she can also control their actions. The general idea of Eve is that she takes on a host body and uses her cells to manipulate those around her. She serves as the primary antagonist of the series and the source of all the strange phenomenon, including humans spontaneously combusting or transforming other lifeforms into Neo-Mitochondrial Creatures. Opposite of her would be the character Eve, or more accurately, the parasite known as Eve. Either way, Aya would be the central character of the series. Her characterization is a talking point for the series, but we’ll get to that much later. Introduced as a police officer for the NYPD, she’s a calm and collected character that seems unfazed by the strange events that take place. The story introduces Aya Brea, the daughter of Mariko Anzai, one of the characters in the Parasite Eve novel. This was the perfect time for Parasite Evil to come out. Final Fantasy VII was still fresh within the minds of gamers everywhere and Capcom’s Resident Evil had ushered in a new era of horror games. Using development teams in both the United States and Japan, this was a collaborative effort that created Square’s first M-rated title. It even had famed game composer Yoko Shimomura on board for the music. The game involved a lot of big names at Square, including Chrono Trigger’s director Takashi Tokita, Final Fantasy’s director Hironobu Sakaguchi, and Final Fantasy VII character designer Tetsuya Nomura. In 1998, Parasite Eve released for the original PlayStation, continuing years later from the book. This inspired the video game company SquareSoft to release a game as a sequel to the novel, thus bringing the Parasite Eve game franchise to life. The book received critical acclaim and was even the first winner of the Japan Horror Novel Award. Back in 1995, Hideaki Sena released his science fiction novel Parasite Eve, bringing a horror element to the way the cells in the human body work, specifically mitochondrion. After our Final Fight and Ganbare Goemon features, we’re now looking at a franchise that goes a very different route. We’re back with another edition of Bring it Back, our series where we look back at dormant franchises that are due for a comeback.
