The 3rd Birthday is the third game in the Parasite Eve series.It was originally announced for Japanese cellphones but was changed to a PSP game; it got a December 2010 release in Japan and a March 2011 release everywhere else. Speculation is that the game is not billed as "Parasite Eve" because Square Enix doesn't want to pay to keep using the license — fair enough, since due to the radical gameplay departure between this and previous titles, it'd really matter just for the name.Christmas Eve 2012 sees the rise of massive tentacled structures known as the Babels throughout Manhattan and other parts of the globe, spawning time-distorting monsters known as the Twisted. Fast-forward one year later, to the U.S. government's Counter-Twisted Initiative launching their campaign against the creatures using Aya Brea and her Overdive ability to insert her consciousness into key SWAT troopers and National Guardsmen in the past and make key strikes against both the Twisted and the Babels. But why does Aya have no recollection of her past, and what is the meaning behind her dreams of a bloodstained wedding?For added star power, Yvonne Strahovski and Jensen Ackles provided the voices for Aya Brea and Kyle Madigan respectively for the English version.

Ambiguous Situation: Aya Brea's fate is actually left in doubt in the secret ending, as does the existence of the Twisted not actually being gone for good. Kyle stated his belief that she wasn't actually gone either.

comment
Bloodier and Gorier: While the first games had a certain amount of blood and gore (mostly during the mitochondria transformations), The 3rd Birthday appears to be ramping that up. People snatched by the Twisted are reduced to piles of gore; you're likely to feel guilty if you have to abandon one body only to hear the screams and crunches left behind by the poor soldier.

Older Than They Look
 The 3rd Birthday (Video Game) / int_2f36d97
comment
Older Than They Look / Younger Than They Look: Zigzagged throughout the game. Continuing from Parasite Eve 2's explanation, Aya's unique mitochondria makes her look like she's in her early 20s, even though by the time of The 3rd Birthday she'd have just turned 41. Meanwhile, her younger sister Eve (a genetic clone of Aya) is an example of the inverse, as when she was rescued she was chronologically only 2-3 years old but had the appearance and behavior of a preteen girl. Ten years later on the day of Aya's wedding, Eve still looked about the same age instead of aging into a 20-something, even though by now she'd graduated from college.note Her friend Emily was a child prodigy attending college, but it's not explicitly stated whether Eve was considered the same. In the ending, it's revealed that the person the player has been controlling is actually Eve in Aya's body. She permanently takes over after Aya's death, making her a young teen in an 38-year-old body that looks 20.

Bittersweet Ending: Eve in Aya’s body continues her work as a government agent in the alternate timeline, and most of the people killed during the events of the game are brought back and live happy lives. However, the real Aya seemingly has been erased from the timeline completely and Eve is the only one who remembers. However, a woman who might be Aya appears to Eve in the secret ending, hinting that she is not gone for good after all.

comment
The game involves Aya using a machine that projects her into the past via a Body Surf system, and the Twisted monsters themselves appear to be invaders from another time and place due to the way they emerge from warping holes in the space-time continuum. Aya's Overdives also somehow cause a ripple effect backwards in time, where changing what happened just three days earlier changes events that happened more than a year earlier. Just to mess with your head further, Aya's memories have been damaged and she's flashing back continually.

Chickification: Aya is noticeably more demure and submissive toward her authority figures and is in a constant state of self loathing and doubt about her own abilities, completely out of character and a far cry from her original depictions in the first two games. This is a major hint that Aya isn’t the character the player is actually playing as, but as her sister Eve, the real protagonist of the game, possessing the real Aya’s body after being shot to death by SWAT soldiers in a misguided attempt to save her life.

comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Everything in The 3rd Birthday happened because Eve Overdived into Aya to try to save her when she was nearly shot to death. The result was basically Parasite Eve confusingly crossed with Quantum Leap, with Eve confusing herself with the now dead Aya and creating a stable time loop.

Super Mode: "Liberation", formerly a spell that wiped out nearly everything in the original installment, returns as a meter that fills up as you take or receive damage. Activating it causes Aya to Flash Step instead of walk, makes her invulnerable to damage,note Reapers can still damage her, however little it does, and makes her weapons do much more damage.

Just to mess with your head further, Aya's memories have been damaged and she's flashing back continually. Exaggerated by the ending: Aya travels back in time to stop the event that created the High Ones in the first place, which is also the source of her Overdive ability. So basically, she uses time travel to prevent both the creation of time travel technology and the reason she traveled back in time.

Demoted to Extra: The real Aya Brea only appears for a few moments in the ending to die to save Eve, and to add salt in the wound it's the player who has to pull the trigger. Though, there is some solace that it didn't stick if the Secret Ending is any indication.

Hold the Line: This one has more than its share of situations where you simply have to survive until reinforcements arrive. Also can happen in boss fights if you mismanage your troops and suddenly find that you're the only one left on the field.

A.K.A.-47: Unlike the previous installments, this game plays this trope straight with all guns having fictional names and model numbers.

Cutscene Incompetence: No matter how powerful you actually are in the game, Aya gets pushed around quite a bit. This is a subtle foreshadowing that the Aya you are playing as is not the real Aya, but an amnesiac Eve who accidentally stole her body and identity.

Fan Disservice: Aya's alternate outfits, when combined with the Clothing Damage. Yeah, she shows off more of her body...but she's also covered in cuts, scrapes, and bruises.

Shout-Out
 The 3rd Birthday (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Lots with Final Fantasy XIII, most notable Lightning's gunblade and her outfit. It sports the best defensive stat in the game. For Final Fantasy in general, there's also a helicopter named "Bahamut." The Shower Scene is a Shout-Out to Parasite Eve 2. The way the concert scene plays out is similar to the infamous opera scene from Parasite Eve.

comment
Video Game Caring Potential: When all deaths provide example for Body Horror, it's hard to not care about the poor soldier/civilian whose body you hijack. The fact that number means strength in Crossfire also helps. A case of Fridge Brilliance too: you that's, Eve is doing your namesake: being a protective mother. Without your Mental Time Travel, they would have died left and right.

Hoist by His Own Petard Hyde's desire to combine with Eve and his subsequent forcing her out of Aya's body was what lead to his own demise.

Reset Button: Partially: Thanks to Aya's Heroic Sacrifice, a new timeline is created where the Twisted were never created in the first place. This effectively undoes the damage they caused, but at the cost of Aya, althought a woman who might be her shows up in the secret ending of the game.

Decoy Protagonist: The real Aya Brea is NOT the actual protagonist of the game, being long dead. Instead, Eve is the real protagonist, possessing her body in an attempt to save her from death.

Clothing Damage
 The 3rd Birthday (Video Game) / int_e61d9a3c
comment
Clothing Damage: The more Aya is damaged, the more her clothes will rip and fall off. This eventually cuts off when Aya's shirt and pants are essentially reduced to her bra and underwear. This is more than Fanservice: she takes more and more damage the worse her clothing condition is, so it's to your benefit to keep all her outfits repaired.

Hopeless Boss Fight: The first time you encounter a Reaper, you're told to run like hell. The thing is invulnerable to your current weapons, it can Flash Step, and it creates barriers to keep you from escaping. You can Body Surf into someone on the other side of the barriers, but no such luck for the poor soldier you leave behind.
