I'm pretty sure that 3rd Birthday is pretty much universally reviled by the fanbase and considered a personal insult
Tbh, I only played it when it released and at the time I hadn't played any of the PS1 games, I don't remember much about it. Probably killed the franchise, just like Dino Crisis 3.
There's also the fact that Parasite Eve was based on a Japanese novel of the same name that the first game is a sequel to. IIRC, Square negotiated the rights with the book's publisher, not the author whom I understand isn't interested in renewing them. That's why the PSP game isn't called Parasite Eve 3 and features a plot about time travel.
I remember reading something about Madonna wanting to make an American movie about the first game back in 1999/2000 and Square refused lol.
There actually is a Japanese Parasite Eve movie based on the book. I can only imagine how amazing Madonna's movie would've been
