Yeah, this doesn't mean much when she ends Order of Ecclesia double fisting HOLY LAZERS up Dracula's ass.

MY
STUPID DISCIPLE

>>716520228
WHO RAISED YOU

>>716520260

>>716520424
STUPID DISCIPLE
Well played too.

Why is Albus the only guy in the series that made a Magic Gun?

>>716520856
Because everyone else either had the Vampire Killer or some form of magic. The gun would be an unnecessary middle man unless you lack the former two.

>>716520856
Belmonts and the Morrises have vampire killer. Eric Lecarde had Alucard's spear. Various women used magic. I guess Soma can use guns, so there's that.

>>716521152
>>716521262
But what about everyone else? The Church was training other Vampire Hunters, why not issue them Magic Guns?

>>716521382
Henry has a gun
But Idk if if its a magic gun

>>716521382
I thought Albus imbues his bullets with glyphs
>Glyph in bullet

>>716521620
If that's the case that might explain why there aren't guns like what Albus uses because glyphs were researched by the Order of Ecclesia. But then the ending says the order fell into obscurity and was disbanded. And maybe the revelation of Barlow being corrupted by the Dominus glyph might have scarred people from using glyphs again.

Why is Richter such a jobber
>fucks up killing Dracula so the castle stays up
>gets mind controlled by Shaft and needs Alucard and Maria to save him
>his gf also dies (probably)
Truly a failure of a Belmont

>>716524793
Don't forget he also gets defeated by creampies.

>>716515045
They were running out of gameplay ideas at that point, so they just rehashed the soul mechanic from the Sorrow games and applied it to weapons. Pumping out yearly releases does no good to creativty and OoE is the best example of that.

>>716524793
Bloodlines came out like a year after Rondo and the worldbuilding doc for that wrote in that the Belmonts disappeared in the 19th century. Then when they started thinking about doing an Alucard game, the idea of fighting "the last Belmont" came up.

>Our first idea was to use the story and setting of Vampire Killer [Bloodlines], and make the final Belmont vampire hunter your enemy. Another idea I had, and this is also from the setting of Bloodlines, is that it was supposed to be Quincy Morris who defeated Dracula, but it was actually Alucard who defeated him. I had even thought how this would work with the ending visuals.

They did leave it open for Belmonts to come back later, though. The same interview suggests one would fight Dracula in 1999, meaning that 1999 as a game idea probably predates 1999 as backstory.

I hope we get the Bloodletting someday. Feels kind of weird that Simon and Christopher have two canon games but not Richter.

>>716511395 (OP)
it was as if she was looking at walking garbage...

>>716511395 (OP)
Breedable.

a cute christian girl

So, where do we go after Dawn of Sorrow? Soma's pounding that cute shrine girl pussy and has his evil side under control.

>>716525935
>So, where do we go after Dawn of Sorrow?
A certain mobile game we don't talk about.

>>716525935
we wait for the netflix adaption

>>716526073
Ok, where do we go AFTER that? In the timeline?

I want another modern Belmont.

>>716511395 (OP)

That sounds stupid.

So glad they didn't cuck John Morris.

Unless Julius has made a kid by the time of Aria, there likely won't be one. In a (canon) novel Kabuchi no Tsuisokyoku, he literally trains some random guy as his apprentice lol

>>716526160
we go back to 1999 obviously

>>716511395 (OP)
the morning sun come to vanquish this horrible night!

>>716526160
The "monster mash" concept is so broad that you could probably come up with dozens of different villains for a Castlevania game set in the 21st century to have.
>I want another modern Belmont
I guess they could always retcon in that Julius started a family while he had amnesia, I guess. Or give him relatives, like a cousin or sibling that was up to stuff after 1999.

>>716526128
They can't even adapt Soma unless they make Dracula homicidal again and have the events of 1999 take place.

Nocturne was a flop and isn't getting renewed but Netflix will probably give them one more chance.

I think they will attempt a soft reboot with Leon Belmont.

>>716525935
Maybe they can have someone like Waltuh Bernhard come back to be the big bad

>>716524793
Don't forget
>is the reason the Belmont bloodline cannot wield the Vampire Killer until 1945

>>716526992
The next Castlevania Protagonists are two movie store clerks Julius ran into one day and he decided to train them after spending all weekend watching monster movies together.

>>716527349
>There will never be another classicvania style game

It happened last year.

>>716527529
>Revisited

why would you want to revisit it

>>716511395 (OP)
Woefully under-utilized. She was fantastic in OOE.

>>716527673
Because whipping Dracula like a nigger is fun.

>>716527673
It has a bitchin' Gift Shop.

>>716527867
The franchise kinda died after OoE, save for Lords of Shadow then that fizzled out after the second one.

>>716527010
Whenever I see Leon I roll down my bedroom window and scream KINOOOO at full volume and my neighbors freak out.

When the fuck are they bringing this series back, god dammit Konami

>>716527968
Probably for the best with how Konami went.

>>716528000
Very Based of you.

>>716527673

>>716528135
>2006
I have been here WAY too fucking long man.

>>716528063
>>716528075

We are in the redemption arc.

I fully predict we will see New Castlekino in the next Nintendo Direct. I'm feeling it with this one.

>>716528063
Considering what's happening with their other franchises, it's just gonna be remakes and rereleases going forward

>>716528232
I bet it will be another collection with the missing games. Rondo and SotN need new ports anyway.

>>716526128
>>716527010
My prediction is that they'll bring Dracula back as the final villain of Nocturne. They're probably chomping at the bit to adapt DIE MONSTER and do a Belmont vs Dracula fight after eight seasons. That way, when they move to Aria of Sorrow after Nocturne, they'll have an easier time getting away with Dracula coming back in 1999.

>>716528393
The PS2 games definitely deserve an HD remaster.

>>716528393
Id be fine with that
Throw in Chronicles/x68k and its a done deal

>>716527010
Did they even announce another season for Nocturne? I don't know how they managed to write themselves into a corner, what would have been so hard about just being faithful to Rondo of Blood, keep it in Transylvania, and bringing back Dracula?

>>716511395 (OP)
Best Igavanias game and best protagonist. Says a lot that he's been trying to shill Miriam to no avail.

>>716528594
Nocturne isn't getting a season 3.

Them putting out an artbook so soon confirms it, artbooks only get made when a series ends.

>>716528686
Because the writers had a massive erection for "Is Dracula......not a Bad Guy!?".

>>716511395 (OP)
Slightly autistic and with violent and even suicidal tendencies but still a good person.

>>716511395 (OP)
jill from ffxvi if she hot

>>716515045
that's his wife

I can understand why Albus wanted to smash.

>>716526128
I’d rather choke on razor blades than see my favorite Castlevania game get the Netflix treatment.

>>716515045
Why would she strain her muscles swinging around a weapon when she can simply use magic to summon it and attack.

Not to say that Shanoa isn't incredibly physically fit, under that armor I bet she has a six-pack, just look at all the cardio and backflips she does.

>>716528846
They're probably making a new series with Alucard. I can't believe how badly they fucked up with Richter of all characters, Powerhouse truly sucks. I hope they lose the license soon.

>>716528797
Miriam is over designed.

Shanoa's simplicity works and makes her iconic.

>>716528643
Don't forget Rebirth god dammit

>>716529636
Miriam's time is over, we're getting twinks that look like Alucard and Soma in the sequel/prequel.

>>716529560
Warren Ellis wrote some questionable things but he at least understood not to make your leading man into a cuck.

>>716511395 (OP)
>Shanoa is...
Built for sex.

WITH ME!

>>716529874
I wish his series was better too. Should've just been an action packed march to the castle fighting monsters along the way, not shoving everyone into the basement and focusing on dyke vampires and literal whos.

>>716529916
Shut up, Albus.

>>716529874
>>716529973
>Sypha helps hold Carmilla down as Trevor gives the vampire dyke a much needed correction via Belmont Blade.

Which is his penis.

>>716529973
I liked the stuff with Lenore and fuckin' whats his name I forgot.

>>716529651
They should probably just make a ReBirth collection honestly
Free those games from the shackles of the wii

Is it just me, or is OoE's story way better than those in the other Iga Castlevania games? I don't think I felt any emotion at all playing the other ones, but I felt bad for Shanoa multiple times.

>>716515045
Shanoa is an enhanced human, she doesn't have the advantage of having a long lineage of vampire hunters, she must make do with what she has and that's glyph magic.
She's also the only MC who cannot beat Dracula "fairly" because once again, she's only a normal human enhanced with magic.

>>716525935
A game featuring Sepia Belmont.
Ending has her doting on a young Julius.

>>716530601
I think so too, but I've never been able to put into words why that is. Albus' attempts at protecting his little sister, Shanoa dropping the Simon's Quest quote then crying at the end of the game hit surprisingly harder than most other stories even if objectively it's just as simple a story. It's just well told, and the artstyle not being 2000s anime like the other two DS titles sure helped in transmiting gravitas.

>>716530374
>Trevor screams out GRAND CROSS as he cums, flooding Carmilla's vampiric pussy with holy Belmont sperm.
>Sypha, still holding down Carmilla, smiles at her man. Knowing full well she is next.

>Meanwhile in another room of the castle, Alucard and Hector are spitroasting Lenore.

>>716530921
>I am the morning sun come to vanquish this horrible night!
I love Castlevania

>>716530601
OoE feels like a gothic story for grownups. Dawn and Portrait felt like Shonen anime for teens.

>>716531270
It also had the better Dracula's Castle overall.

>>716530601
It's a fine plot, although the twist villain is kinda lame and predictable if you've consumed enough of similar stories

>>716525935
Soma has to die soon or late, right? Like, he is still just a human vessel, the soul inside is still the one of Dracula.

So.... castlevania in space! After soma died of old age, Dracula resurrected in SPACE, his castle is on the moon, and you play as Soma's grandchild an astronaut.

I love how Order of Ecclesia opens up Dracula's Castle, you get the Nitesco Glyph almost immediately and the rest of the game is blasting evil with fucking laser beams.

>>716531545
And Dracula's army is now made up of classic outer space creatures like aliens, cyborgs, and leprechauns.

>>716528594
Dracula did nothing wrong.

>>716511395 (OP)
Boring protag in a shit game

>>716525935
1999

>>716531545
Galamoth VS Soma for control of Castlevania!

>>716531545
>cyberpunk 2090s Castlevania
The future's now, old man Dracula

>>716531545
>Castlevania on the moon
That would be kino

>>716525935
Since we never got a game after it we can potentially assume Julius mode was canon

>>716531940
They split Sorrow's timline and have different games set in a hopeful or dark timeline.

We going multiverse.

>>716528846
Goddamn I hope it gets canceled. Then Konami pisses on its grave by announcing a SOTN (with Saturn content)/Rondo/Rebirth/Chronicles collection.

>>716525935
Galamoth becomes the new dark lord.

>>716532573
>SOTN (with Saturn content)
Given the history of SotN ports, I'm not optimistic about that. Hell, I'll count it as lucky if we get the PS1 dub instead of the shitty one they used in the PSP port

So what did konami mean when they said that the sotn musical will "open a new door to the series"?

>>716534000
Maybe they'll make a 1999 stage musical

>>716534000
Probably a new Alucard game or big scale remake of Symphony.

His popularity is at an all time high.

>>716535290
>big scale remake of Symphony
I hope its a 3D metroidvania and not a generic souls-like with a CV coat of paint

>>716525935
Galamoth, obviously. They should have put him in Dawn instead of those dogshit literal who villains.

I have a custom firmware 3ds and a steam deck. Should I get the dominus collection on Steam and play Order of Ecclesia there or go for the DS version? Is one even any better?

>>716537183
I'd say go for the collection because those are actual ports with the touch screen gimmicks assigned to button prompts.

Plus you get the Haunted Castle remake in the set, which I really like.

>>716538768
Dope just wanted to make sure the collection wasn't shit or something
