History VideoGame / The3rdBirthday

* PileBunker: An unlokable weapon.

* RippleEffectProofMemory: Aya has this, but the rest of her team ''do not.'' This means that they have difficulty believing that Aya has time-traveled at all. As far as the team is concerned, each time is her "first" time diving into the past. This makes the BadBoss ''even worse.''

* SuperMode: "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 FlashStep instead of walk, makes her invulnerable to damage [[hottip:*: Reapers can still damage her, however little it does]], and makes her weapons do much more damage.

** The way the club scene plays out is similar to the infamous opera scene from [[VideoGame/ParasiteEve PE1]].

** The way The Club scene Plays out is similar to the opera scene from [[VideoGame/ParasiteEve PE1]] except the audience bursts into blood instead of flames.

For added star power, [[{{Chuck}} Yvonne]] [[MassEffect2 Strahovski]] and JensenAckles provided the voices for Aya Brea and Kyle Madigan respectively for the English version.

** Lots with ''FinalFantasyXIII'', most notable Lightning's gunblade and her outfit.
** For ''FinalFantasy'' in general, there's also a helicopter named "Bahamut."

''The 3rd Birthday'' is the third game in the ''Parasite Eve'' series.

PileBunker: An unlokable weapon.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: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 1'' confusingly crossed with ''QuantumLeap'', with Eve confusing herself with the now dead Aya and creating a stable time loop]].

** The ShowerScene is a ShoutOut to [[{{Parasite Eve 2}} PE2]]
** The way The Club scene Plays out is similar to the opera scene from [[{{Parasite Eve}} PE1]] except the audience bursts into blood instead of flames.

''The 3rd Birthday'' is the third game in the ''ParasiteEve'' series.

* BadassAbnormal: Aya
* BadBoss: The "Boss," in charge of the Overdive project, who disapproves of everything and refers to Aya as "a thing."
* BarbieDollAnatomy: See OutOfClothesExperience below.
* BareYourMidriff: Aya's default outfit.

* BodyHorror: possibly less here than in others in the series, but still a lot.

* BottomlessMagazines: [[spoiler:An unlockable cheat]].
* {{Chickification}}: Aya apparently undergoes this. [[spoiler:Although, to be fair, she's really Eve]].

* CheckPoint: used in two ways-- in save stations mid-mission where you can also buy/customize weapons, change armor, and customize DNA; and in checkpoints mid-level where you can restart if you die.
* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler:Hyde, in his quest to go back to Time Zero]].

* CursedWithAwesome

* RivalTurnedEvil: Subverted. [[spoiler:Gabrielle didn't '''want''' to attack Aya..]].

* RuleOfSexy: Aya.

* WasOnceAMan: Implied to be the origin of The Twisted in ''The 3rd Birthday.'' The weakest Twisted still have human-like legs and most of the bosses are apparently humans who transform directly.
** Even [[{{squick}} worse]] with the High Ones, who can take human form.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Hyde takes advantage of the Twisted incidents to travel back to Time Zero, where he would merge with Eve and become the pioneer of a higher lifeform. Nevermind the people who died in said incident]].
** [[spoiler: A bit of [[FridgeBrilliance Fridge Brilliance]], the Twisted turn out to be this. Being the fragmented pieces of Aya's "soul" that were sent to the future due to Eve's Overdive, they abduct and kill people to make the Babels grow and merge into the Grand Babel, which would enable said pieces to travel back to Time Zero and undo those events by taking control of Aya for a little while.]]

[[caption-width-right:250:Our heroine, Aya Brea, is having one of ''those'' days... again.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Hyde believes that if he kills Aya in the past, he will be able to prevent the disasters that occurred in the last two games from ever happening]].

* {{Immortality}}: Shades of Type III -- Aya can take hits until her clothes disintegrate, but if she takes too many before her HealingFactor kicks in, she'll die.

* AnimeAnatomy: See OutOfClothesExperience below.

* OutOfClothesExperience: How Aya appears in ''The 3rd Birthday'' when between bodies. Naturally, AnimeAnatomy is used.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: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 1'' confusingly crossed with ''Series/QuantumLeap'', with Eve confusing herself with the now dead Aya and creating a stable time loop]].

* ArmyOfTheDead: When you fight [[spoiler:Hyde]] in the time-frozen ice-skating arena. At this point, he can [[spoiler:Overdive just like you, and since there are so many body for him to jump to, you can't even begin targeting him]]. You can't do a thing except running around while being savaged to death. [[HopelessBossFight Game over, man]]. [[spoiler:[[FissionMailed Not quite]]. Your dead friends -- Blank, Thelonius Cray, Gabriel Monsigny, Kyle Madigan -- are suddenly there, providing their body for you to Overdive to. They even haunt Hyde, their floating body tracking him no matter where he try to run to]]. It's inexplicable, but it's a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

* [[FinalFantasyXIII Gunblade]]: Although it doesn't have a melee form, Lightning's gunblade is unlockable.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: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 1 confusingly crossed with Quantum Leap, with Eve confusing herself with the now dead Aya and creating a stable time loop]].

* StopHelpingMe!: The Boss's directions are like this when he takes over near the end of episode 2, especially annoying since his [[{{LargeHam}} voice]] is so ObviouslyEvil.

* TeasedWithAwesome: The occasional times you get to use the {{KillSat}}
* TheChessMaster: [[spoiler:Hyde, in his quest to go back to Time Zero]].
* TheMultiverse: Theorized by Blank in one of his emails to be the secret behind Aya's "time-travel" ability.

* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Aya Brea = Eve Brea]] throughout the game.

* FridgeBrilliance: Aya's ability to jump from person to person effectively allows her to body jack whoever's body she jumps into. [[ParasiteEve Kinda reminds you of someone in particular, doesn't it?]]
** [[spoiler:Which makes it even worse when you realize that Eve accidentally did what her namesake tried and failed to do]].
** See VideoGameCaringPotential below.
* FridgeLogic: So.... [[spoiler: why did the SWAT team shoot everybody?]]
** Maybe it has something to do with [[spoiler: Kyle being the double agent mentioned at the end of Parasite Eve 2. The one that knew too much]]
* FridgeHorror: [[spoiler:Remember Hyde? That nice guy that defended Aya from "Boss" and took care of her after she lost her memories? He's actually a High One, created from the remains of Eve's own body and the natural enemy of the Twisted. On top of that, he's trying to go back in time and kill Aya to prevent the creation of the Twisted]].

* VoiceGrunting: What you get for the few bits of dialogue that aren't voiced. When she's inspecting items in the scenery Aya's can be AudioErotica for some.

* CutsceneIncompetence: [[GameplayStorySegregation No matter how powerful]] you actually are in the game, Aya[[spoiler:/[[{{Woobie}} Eve]]]] gets pushed around quite a bit.

* FetishFuelStationAttendant: Aya[[spoiler:/Eve]]

* FridgeHorror: [[spoiler:Remember Hyde? That nice guy that defended Aya/Eve from "Boss" and took care of her after she lost her memories? He's actually a High One, created from the remains of Eve's own body and the natural enemy of the Twisted. On top of that, he's trying to go back in time and kill Aya to prevent the creation of the Twisted]].

* TheMultiverse: Theorized by Blank in one of his emails to be the secret behind Aya[[spoiler:/Eve]]'s "time-travel" ability.
* TimeyWimeyBall: The game involves Aya[[spoiler:/Eve]] using a machine that projects her into the past via a BodySurf 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. Just to mess with your head further, Aya's[[spoiler:Eve's]] memories have been damaged and she's flashing back continually.

* NewGamePlus: UpToEleven and beyond. The game requires you to beat it several times for certain costumes, cheat codes, [[spoiler:Deadly and Genocide difficulty modes, ''and'' an unlockable alternate ending]].
