It's just how the series evolved over time.

8 was a stylistic departure, and despite selling well, was met with some criticism for these changes. I'm guessing that Capcom just felt that the X series was a better fit for where they wanted to take the franchise.

Then we had Zero and Battle Network in the early 2000s and their spiritual successors, ZX and Starforce, in the mid 2000s...which leads us right to the original Megaman's return in 2008. The new direction of 7 and 8 had been fully explored by X and Zero, making it easier to return to the original roots of the franchise.

I ended up getting Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition a while ago.

Here's the thing about buying a digital game on the PS Store

Sometimes if you have a version of a game they won't let you buy the update
since you have a copy in your account.

Mega Man Update

I bought

Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 (Mega Man 6 - 10)
Mega Man 11

On the PS Store today.

I do have Mega Man 8 on PS 2.

Mega Man 9 - 11 fills my next chapter library in but I still
want to get Tomb Raider Survivor Trilogy next month.

I had this strange dream last night where Rita Repulsa decides to take over the worlrd through legal means instead and actually succeeds, only to ragequit when the Rangers trick her into actually fulfilling all the headache-inducing responsibilities and legal obligations she has to actually do now.

With Street Fighter V locked in I can phase in the expansion packs.

Also will get a few other PS 4 next chapter games soon.

Final Fantasy XV

Would you be able to download the Royal Edition content onto
the base game after the main game was installed out of curiosity?

I own the main Final Fantasy XV disk.

The Royal Edition content was picked up in the PS store.

got in the mail:

Batta Shugod, with Kabuto Crystal

dx V-Buckle belt w/ both survive decks. Unsure if quja's deck will be kinda a csm thing?

I could actually see that as a legit episode.

As Tomb Raider X - XII (Survivor Trilogy) takes 62 gigs combined
I plan to play them on PC.

As for the rest I need to get

Castle Vainia Anniversary
Contra
Jumanji
TMNT The Cowabunga Collection

Will also add

Mega Man Legacy Collection 2
Mega Man 11
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Trilogy
Street Fighter V

So I can keep the PS 4 within the 500 G limit.

I may also play Final Fantasy XV on PC depending on
my space possibly.

I saw the newest Evil Dead movie and it was awesome. Tons of fun and has some great gory moments. I like way more than the 2013 film.

I saw the Super Mario movie today while catching up with some old friends from high school. It was okay. Nothing too spectacular or ground-breaking, but it was pretty fun.

Legit didn't know about the Peaches song until today though. I was caught off guard lol.

Finished Wanda Vision today.

The Mandalorian is on break. Ahsoka comes out
this summer.

I want to finish up Boba Fett before then.
