I’m a big RPG fan now, but that wasn’t always the case. Super Mario RPG introduced me to the genre, but, like many people my age, Final Fantasy VII was the one that wowed me the most.

Nothing has been confirmed as yet in regards to Square Enix actually pursuing a revival of the Parasite Eve series, be it a remake or a new entry. In fact, the last we heard anything about the series was when Square Enix had trademarked the name in Europe back in 2018. That, and the...
