I know that, I was just summarizing things as succinctly as possible. And even then I don't see how time warps factor into genetic science on ANY level. The series had me at animals warping into monsters, it didn't need time shenanigans.


Well, Eve had all sort of crazy powers in the first game, and we saw some more powerful mitochondria forms in the second game, with the ability of creating giant nest like creatures, just like the ones shown in the trailer (remember the Coccon in the Ark?).

So, if there's a link to the previous games, maybe mitochondrial powers have evolved  to the point where mitochondrial beings are able to control time or matter? with the energy controlling abilities that they had, it seems kinda "logical".

That's REEEEEEEEALLY stretching disbelief. All that mitchondria are capable of doing is generating chemical energy, period. In the previous two games the most you would see is creatures rapidly mutating or people getting set on fire due to their mitochondria generating absurd amounts of energy. Heck, in the original novel there weren't mutating animals at all. Makes me wonder if Sena (a lecturer of microbiology) would be going "WTF?" at this. Then again Square has repeatedly reminded people that this is a SIDE STORY and not a sequel.

The 3rd Birthday is looking like one wesome game I just wish more awesome games like this were on Home Consoles insted of Portable Consoles it wolf look awesome in 720P with 1080P Cut Scenes.

I also agree that Aya is a very cool and smexy Character.

Dude, I know all of this, Parasite Eve was one of the reasons I went into Genetics in the first place  

Even then, if you take in consideration the vast amount of energy that ATP production and massive consumption that happened in the first two games,  it's also a huge stretch to kinda explain the energy propagations that happened in the first two games, with PE2 being the biggest case. 

As for the original novel, I loved it as well, especially the relationship that establishes with the scientist and the being created, the original ultimate being. 

Being a Side Story doesn't take from the fact that this game will have a lot of tie-ins with the previous PE lore, heck, even Nomura said it himself. So there might be an explanation for the Time Warps and such.

For PSP?



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

So far yes.

S-E is depending on the sales results of this version to ponder whether to make a console version, so hopefully it will be successful.

Looks good and even on the PSP this should sell pretty well. S-E games generally have sold pretty well on PSP even in the west.

They really shouldn't be doing that, because in the West as its on PSP I doubt it'll do that well, Japan is another matter, lets hope its a massive success there. 

And that could mean we get a PS3 one!

Unfortunately that's the main issue facing 3rd Birthday right now. Other S-E games on PSP have been somewhat successful in terms of sales on the PSP, but the amount of downloads easily surpass the amount of sales. Dissidia had it the worst, with 5M downloads

I hope that 3rd Birthday doesn't suffer from this fate, but that's the most likely scenario.

We can at least hope its a big success in Japan though, thats where piracy is the least I think.
