It is not content cut from the base game, it is bonus content intended specifically for backers. It was an incentive for people to donate more, just as the physical rewards were incentives to donate more. Giving that content to everyone would be unfair to those who backed for it. While I do agree to some extent, I'd really like the folks to compromise. I backed $125 into the game but I still don't want the content permalocked. I don't want it just given away on launch either though, since it costed backers an additional $32 to unlock the content. I'd want it to come at a delay and with a small cost, much like pre-order bonuses. Because I don't think permalocked content is something we really should offer or promote in the game industry. I am slightly interested in the proposal on the survey to make the swordwhip and stuff available to non backers but to give an exclusive special skin of the items to backers. It's not my favorite, cause I'd still feel dirty about non-backers never being able to obtain these skins, but I think it's another fair compromise to consider that splits down the middle for backers wanting exclusive content and non-backers wanting access to game content. A cosmetic skin is less damaging than an exclusive weapon or dear lord a boss fight.
Edit: I'd also argue locked content like this would kind of promote piracy on the likes of Vita or PC where it's easiest to do so, since a pirated copy of a game can use whatever DLC they want that's been made available regardless of exclusivity. And giving more benefits to piracy is a big no bueno.

I don't have the ability to read every single one of your posts but if you have stuff that belongs in spoiler tags in other posts, please go edit them. My entire point is that I've spoiled nothing. It's not like I'm talking about plot points or endings. I mentioned options that the player has. I don't see how that's a spoiler. What you've said is spoiler enough that the website goes out of its way to avoid saying these things, always referring to them as "meeting certain conditions". It's clear that it's regarded as a secret.

... You can attack the portrait during its OHKO charge to bat it away and cancel the attack. I still got hit by it enough times in my solo run that I just used the talisman against a wall to combo it to death before it used the insta-kill though. Woah I never even tried that one. I just jumped from the middle of the screen every time. I did get hit by it once before I realized it was an instant kill move and tried to hit it. Once I learned it was an instant kill move, it was easy. It's an extremely easy telegraphed attack and I'm not all that great at games to begin with. Anyone who's got the drive to do a challenge run on their first go really should have no problem with such a thing.

Someone should tell Google. For some reason when you search "Bloodstained release date" it says March 2018 in big bold letters. I know that's wrong, and I do worry it's going to misinform people who will be upset when March comes and goes without the release. "Oh no delays, guess it's another Mighty no. 9!" Gosh I hate when I hear stuff like that.
(Hmm... it seems Google actually does have a way to tell them the information is wrong, with the little "Send Feedback" link. I don't know how many reports it takes for them to actually make the change, but I'd recommend reporting the information as an error.)

Some interesting stuff in that thread! I'm not fond of the ideas that are really gruesome, like having her melt to the floor or have limbs cut off. Especially with 3D models, I'd feel like that'd be too jarring for me. I do like some of the ideas with the crystal curse though, particularly the ones that involved respawning at a save point and not having to return to a title screen

I mentioned this on the Discord I feel like sound design is as important if not moreso for such a thing than the visuals.
Sadly I don't how how to offer advice on that, I don't know what kind of sound makes it feel good or not, I just know that the sound effects in SotN were incredibly satisfying for me. From the sound the skeletons made when they crumbled or flew apart to the sounds of multiple little explosions going off in rhythm, it was fun. Others here mentioned the book animations, and I found their sound effects very satisfying too. Or the death sounds of the Ectoplasm, the dying cry of the Guardian as he's engulfed in flames, or the PSHEWPSHEWPSHEW of the Dark Octopus enemies as they withered... Not just deaths, but also the sharp sound of Alucard's sword as he attacked.
I also loved how unique and flashy death animations were. Even characters that exploded in fire had *unique* fire animatons— while the Minotaur and Werewolf might be engulfed in a wild pillar of fire, the Guardian had a smoother more magic-like flame when he died. Plus the different colors! That blue fire was so pretty! And of course the more particles flying out, the better. Blood! Crystal shards! Bones flying to bits! Magic sparks!
I also strongly agree with Yan in regards to giving each hit more of an impact to them. Also, this might not apply in this situation, but I love multi-hit weapons. They're really satisfying to attack with. Things like SotN's version of Holy Water. Anything that can attack the enemy with a ratatatatatat of hits and damage numbers. A sword that had a vibrating blade that did something like that would easily become a favorite of mine.

Well, you could knock em out instead of killing them. It's a signed poster! It's okay, if I won anything I was gonna pass it on anyway. I already won the last giveaway, I don't need to be greedy

Oh gosh, everyone's getting pretty hurt!
Bloodless can sit there and look pretty for a bit, y'all look like you can eat. Starts cooking up Dumpling Specials and slides one down to HiroTenkai. +3 HP! You first, eat up!

She couldn't help but burst out laughing at Bloodless's frantic teary eyed expression after eating such dastardly peppers. Laughing so much that she happened to tilt her head back just in time to narrowly miss Bloodless's retaliation... only making her laugh all the harder.
So hard that she skipped several turns. She thinks the blood even rained on her and did some damage at one point, but she was too amused for it to stop her. But then that blasted Blood Hurricane came and blew everyone away, and THAT was a lot harder to ignore.
OI HUSSY! I WAS HAVING A MOMENT!
In a quick huff, she simply... hurls a pineapple at Bloodless! Where in the world is she keeping all these things exactly?

Oh good, Galamoth already has Burpopottamus covered. I was getting worried there!
Burpopottamapamanticaindegesticapomamattis.... I've got it! Reaching into her bag, she pulls out a smaller bag. Opening that bag, she pulls out a smaller fresh-seal bag of the most intimidating peppers ever known to mankind.
Bwahahahahahaha! Come 'ere Bloodless, I've got a lovely snack just for you! Riskily hopping onto Bloodless's shoulders, she grabs at her face in an attempt to force open her jaw and dump the entire bag of peppers into her mouth. Open wide! You can't afford to waste any food on your plate when there are children starving in Transylvania dearie!

Aha! She's down! Now's my chance! Throws a bundle of logs on top of her and sets them ablaze. You got to make sure you cook demons while they're still alive to get a bolder juicier flavor!

KITTIES!
Cooks up something super special for one of the cats, a steaming hot bowl of moist cat food that fills the air with the scent of fish. One of the cats comes to chow down before stopping suddenly. It begins to grow massively in size, its eyes turning a wild gold color, before turning fiercely back towards Bloodless! Huh.... did I just hear her gulp?

Heeey Sunraiser! You're doing pretty great out there! I notice you've got some scratches. I've cooked up some yummy healing donuts for you!
.... eh? Why are you hesitating? I promise these are safe!

Wakes up, realizing she had dozed off during the fight.
Ah! Oh yeah, there was the weird lady over their showing off her womanly wiles. Huh. She seems to attracted a lot more people here than I remember. OooooOOOoh I'll show her! I can cook up something special!
Takes a few minutes running around the room, picking up this and that from around the battlefield and throwing it into a big pot she has boiling on a stove she seems to have rolled in from god knows where. Chaos erupts around her as all the valiant warriors continue to attack and fight her off.
DING! Okay all done~ Soups up! She pushes the stove on wheels as she charges at bloodless, sending the boiling pot of .... dear lord what exactly is that? flying right at her!

Oh!!! Oh my gosh, thank you! How did I go so long without seeing this @.@ My birthday is on Wednesday so that's really cool~ Actually this is perfect, I was just trying to determine what I should get someone else for their birthday which is right after mine and they loved SotN so this is fantastic cause I didn't really have any money or anything to buy a gift with ^^' All of your stories were absolutely wonderful and I loved reading them~ And I thank you so much for enjoying mine as well. My stepdad's birthday is tomorrow in fact. I'll give him the community's regards when I go to wish him a happy birthday~

I'm having a fantastic time reading through all of these. Seeing that passion for SotN is really refreshing. In a lot of Castlevania groups I'm in, everyone gives off this "SotN is great and all but really overrated" vibe. It's really nice to see everyone here discussing all of the love and passion we share for the game.
