Parasite Eve II

The story begins in Los Angeles in the year 2000, when a violent outbreak of Neo-Mitochondrion Creatures (NMCs) occurs at Akropolis Tower.

Aya is dispatched to contain the incident and soon discovers evidence of an underground organization experimenting with mitochondrial mutations.

Her investigation spans deserts, research facilities, and abandoned towns, ultimately revealing a conspiracy that threatens the future of humanity.

Gameplay departs from the Active Time Battle system of the first game and adopts mechanics closer to traditional survival horror.

Players explore pre-rendered backgrounds with tank-style movement, while enemies appear in real time rather than through random encounters.

Combat uses a targeting system where Aya locks onto enemies, moves to evade, and attacks with firearms, explosives, or melee strikes.

Defeating monsters earns experience points, used to unlock and upgrade Parasite Energy abilities, and bounty points, a currency for purchasing weapons, armor, and items.

Parasite Energy is divided into four elemental branches: fire, water, wind, and earth.

Each offers powers ranging from healing and status recovery to offensive attacks like combustion or necrosis.

Unlike in the first game, these abilities consume mana rather than turn-based actions, allowing combat to flow more like a shooter while still rewarding tactical choices.

Weapon customization is limited, but equipment can hold attachments such as grenades, recovery items, or armor add-ons that grant passive benefits.

Exploration and inventory management are central to survival.

Parasite Eve II for PlayStation is currently worth €87.88 loose, €54.02 complete in box, and €70.52 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Parasite Eve II has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Parasite Eve II, loose is €87.88 and CIB is €54.02 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Parasite Eve II is currently worth €87.88 loose, versus €100.17 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
