Parasite Eve would fit right in with the current market. Over two decades later, it might see a resurgence just when its older contemporaries are making a comeback. Parasite Eve originally launched at the height of Japanese horror. Square Enix has proven that it can do remasters and remakes right. Now that they can afford the type of technology they could only dream of, many executives feel like they can fulfill the potential of the original vision of their older games.

If you ever have doubt that Capcom is the king of Horror Games & sets trends in the industry even to this day, look no further than Resident Evil: 2 Remake resurrecting several dormant horror IPs w/new Remakes for Silent Hill 2, Dead Space, Alone in the Dark & maybe Parasite Eve. Not to mention, Ryan "AestheticGamer aka Dusk Golem," alluded to a potential new Parasite Eve game on Twitter when talking about the impact Capcom had on the survival horror genre when it released Resident Evil 2: Remake a few years ago. ![]() The most recent example is Tactics Ogre: Reborn.

Unfortunately, Square Enix did what it did best and failed to capitalize on the game's success. Parasite Eve ended up becoming the third best-selling game in Japan in 1998 with a sequel the next year. It also helped that it was an M-rated game, which allowed it to tell a darker and more adult story compared to its contemporaries. It had an ATB mechanic like Final Fantasy and combat gameplay similar to Vagrant Story. ![]() It might have told a scary story with an eerie environment, but it was a Square Enix game. If you compare Parasite Eve to Capcom and Konami's genre frontrunners, Square Enix's take on survival horror was unique. It takes a lot to stand out, especially at a time when Resident Evil and Silent Hill were starting to get a foothold in gaming, but that's what Parasite Eve accomplished. We wouldn't be surprised if a Parasite Eve film will premiere one of these days.
