The Parasite eve series was one of the worst kinds of series. You know the ones… Original for the company who developed it at the time, had potential, was decent, but was short lived. Parasite eve was one of Square’s most polished titles on the presentation front at it’s time of release. The graphics were hot (trumping the likes of Final Fantasy), the FMV was stellar and the music was seriously kick arse! For the music, we thank Yoko Shimomura. The lady who would be remembered for the now iconic Street Fighter II soundtrack and then rise in popularity many years later for helming the Kingdom Hearts’ soundtracks. Her work on Parasite Eve was was of the high quality you’d expect from her. Her compositions set the tone of the game perfectly. F**k knows what happened to the soundtrack for Parasite Eve II. I’m not sure if Yoko Shimomura even contributed to it, which would explain alot.

I present to you the battle theme from the first Parasite eve game. It’s hot, it’s funky and I’m partial to working a shoulder to it now and then.
