"The worst foe lies within the self..."
But there's a bitch up at the top of the Chrysler Building that would make you think otherwise.
Ahh Parasite Eve, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:
1.) A unique battle system that, while turn based, allows you to run away from and dodge the enemy's attacks rather than have to stand in place and accept your asskicking.
2.) A unique (and easily exploitable) weapons system that allows you to customize your weapon of choice to truly unholy levels of might.
3.) A setting and plot totally unique among JRPG's of the time, that still stands up against the games of this generation.
4.) A lazy, broke-ass, scizophrenic level system that makes attaining level 99 a breeze if you have a few hours, a portable DVD player, and a DVD of Dirty Pair lying around.
But of all the actual complaints I have about Parasite Eve, they can all be summed up in just two words.
Chrysler Building

Four times. I had to play this game four goddamn times to beat it. Did I go insane? That's a roger.
Did I record it happening slowly over the course of this playthrough? You bet your ass.
