Why couldn't they have remade something in the Zero series? That would've been awesome! XD That series came dangerously close to being as milked as this one though... it should have ended at 3, which seemed like a very logical conclusion, where it had the most and best bosses (best in my opinion anyway), multiple boss music themes (3 for the final boss alone), and the villain was subtley hinted at the whole Zero series, and even parts of the X series.
But they even messed that up a bit:
1. No fights with the X Guardians, and in the next game they are gone without a trace (explanation given by the creators, but not in-game)
2. They left a loose end with a villain you don't even fight in 3 to ensure a number 4.
3. With the final boss from 3 dead and no X Guardians, 4's villains seem out of the blue, save one.
That's not to say that the 4th was horrible, I just think the 3rd would have felt like a more organic ending. 4 seemed tacked on... but I did like the ending to 4. Zero does something pretty awesome.
... Not only did I veer so horribly far off topic, but I simultaneously milked the Zero series.
I'm a monster.
