The 3rd Birthday(Parasite Eve 3)

[Tobi]

They went as far as a Maid Costume, I wouldn't be surprised if they stepped it up a notch and threw in School Girl as well.

[Insanecyclone]

May as well go with all fetishes now. Add a bondage suit and that's a rap.

oh god yes

[Charismatic]

Shit yeah!! Don't give a fuck about costumes but MOTHERFUCKING KUNIHIKO MAEDA... FUCK YEAH!!
Daniel and Maeda were my favorite characters in PE.

Both were far cooler than Aya or... well, anyone else.

[Elcura]

PE always has awesome black guys, like PE2 had Rupert. He was badass.

Oh look, another new Costume reveal already and new weapon!

Aya Brea's maid outfit hasn't even made it to The 3rd Birthday's
official website, but there's already word of a new costume for
the game.

Famitsu has a first look this week at Aya's "Knight Armor" outfit.
Don't get the wrong idea from the name, though. The "armor" only
covers parts of Aya's arms and legs. Her body is covered by what
looks lie a tight fitting leather body suit which is completely open in
the back. In other words, this is the sexiest "Knight Armor" outfit
you'll ever see in a game!

More impressive than the outfit itself is the giant gun Aya is shown
holding. This is so big that Aya has to hold it with both hands. It has
a "pile bunker" sphere attached to it.

Armor made me think of MH.

Square Enix has thus far listed The 3rd Birthday exclusively as a
retail release. That changed today. The company announced that a
downloadable version will be available on PSN as well.

Does anyone really buy PSP games off PSN store?

[Insanecyclone]

I bought the Darkstalkers game and Persona 3 from the store. Some PS1 games too.

[Nevex]

She kinda looks like Aqua from KH: BBS; if you dye her hair blue she's pretty much identical.

PSP Go owners, LOL.

[Charismatic]

She kinda looks like Aqua from KH: BBS; if you dye her hair blue she's pretty much identical.

Thank you for ruining Aya for me.

[Elcura]

Didn't like Aqua I take it? I never really got that vibe, even from the last picture. But I guess I could see it.

The 3rd Birthday's customization systems go beyond revealing
clothing items for Aya Brea. Famitsu has a look this week at
another customization system: Over Energy.

Over Energy, or OEs for easier pluralization purposes, are special
abilities Aya gets when she infuses items called "OE Chips" into her
DNA. They're like skills or abilities. Examples include attack and
defense modifiers and recovery skills.

To use the OE system, you have to first get the OE Chips from
fallen foes and other sources. Once you have chips, you can place
them into Aya's DNA board, a 3x3 panel of chip slots.

OE Chips come in a variety of forms, with such names as "Normal
DNA." They have shape, indicating how many slots and they'll take
up in your DNA board. Before placing the chips, you can see the OE
that the chip will activate.

In an example shown in Famitsu, a Level 1 Normal DNA chip takes up
two slots horizontally on the DNA Board. Each slot gives Aya a Level
1 Antibody OE. The two Level 1 Antibody OEs are added up, giving
Aya access to a Level 2 Antibody.

If you have an OE chip in place on your DNA Board and you try to
place another OE chip on top of it, you can make the two OE chips
fuse together. Doing this will make the OE's level rise. You can also
link OEs by placing them next to one another. The levels of the OEs
will be added up.

In the example above, two adjacent Level 1 Antibodies linked up to
form a Level 2 Antibody. If you place another Level 1 Antibody OE
next to one of the two Level 1 OEs, you'll end up with a total Level
3 Antibody.

For the OEs to sum their levels, the chips have to be in adjacent
slots.

The OE system will probably make a lot more sense once you've
seen screenshots. Famitsu usually follows up on its print coverage
with details and screens at Famitsu.com, so expect a visual look
shortly.

Separate from the OE system, Aya can grow through a level up
system. As she defeats Twisted, she'll earn experience, and
eventually rise in level. As her level rises, her life, "Revelation"
special attacks power and Overdive Kill power will increase.

Aya also gains "BP" when she defeats enemies. The magazine doesn't
provide an explanation about BP, but it does say that it might be
the same BP from past Parasite Eve games.

Outside of the customization system, the magazine has a look at
many of the story and gameplay details that were shared in Jump
earlier in the week.

On the character front, a look at Kunihiko Maeda, a genius scientist
who's passionate about his work. If you played the Parasite Eve
games, you'll remember Maeda. Following the events of those
games, he returned to Japan, but made the trip back to New York
following the Twisted outbreak. Maeda has a special shelter that
he's converted out of an old storage house.

There aren't any other character introductions this week, but the
magazine does have a bunch of screenshots showing event scenes
involving Aya, Eve and Kyle. Aya doesn't know who Kyle is (because
she's been reborn, and all) but Kyle seems to know everything there
is to know about her. In one screen, Aya is pointing a gun at Kyle. He
grabs the barrel and tells her, "I know everything about you." Kyle
also appears to know the whereabouts of Eve but for some reason
will not tell Aya.

Gameplay details include a look at Overdive Kill, a special attack
where Aya uses her Overdive ability on a Twisted rather than on
another human. As detailed in Jump, to use this, you have to make
your foe shrink away from you, which you can do with grenades or
other powerful attacks. The triangle button will appear on the
screen. Press R to lock on, then triangle, and you'll get Aya to do
her Overdive Kill move. Aya will leap into the enemy's consciousness
and damage it from within.

There are also some hints this week at additional gameplay
features. In the lower right corner of all the screenshots we've
seen thus far, the game displays the name of the soldiers into
whom Aya can Overdive. Some of these names have a special eagle
icon next to them. Does this mean they'll have a different ability?
(Famitsu is the one posing this question, so the answer is probably
yes).

The magazine also has a section detailing the amount of variety in
the game's play environments. We've already seen such areas as
the city and live house. As previously detailed, Aya will also take the
fight into the air as she Overdives into soldiers who pilot
helicopters. You'll also end up battling the Twited on a moving train.

This was covered in a separate story earlier, but the magazine
introduces two costumes for Aya: Knight Armor and her "Apron
Dress." That second one is the official name of the maid outfit that
was shown in Jump earlier in the week.

For those without access to Famitsu, we'll hopefully get an online
look at all these features over the next week.
