So I've been crazy busy and unfortunately I ended up missing it but JeffCross had a birthday on the 7th so happy belated birthday...! So Sorry I was missing man, and I hope you had a good one...! Also just wanted to say you've been a great person to talk with, and an awesome part of the community and also my first friend on the forum, so sorry it's late, but again, happy belated birthday.

purifyweirdshard I REALLY hope the game has an option to turn ON subtitles if there aren't any inherently. I'm uh...sort of a freak. I honestly have to play or watch everything with subtitles. I just get it so much better that way...

purifyweirdshard No, I can't say that I have seen his jewelry. Who knew the man was a jack of all trades? Also, I would just like to point THIS out:
"1st day of recording the script for Bloodstained over at @rocketsoundus! It's pretty amazing to see the crazy high caliber of talent going into the story...and how long the script is! So much longer than another certain famous Igavania game..."This basically narrows it down to 2 games; Symphony of the Night, and Aria of Sorrow. IGA consider Symphony his 'Best' game, while he consider Aria his 'most creative' game. I wonder which one he's referencing...?

Angel-Corlux Have you ever played Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow? In the game, to create a specific weapon, one must expend the soul of a boss type enemy that one encounters only a single time in the game. To get both the soul and the weapon, one would have to play the game over again in NEW GAME +. Will there be similar items expended through the use of the alchemy system? Ergo, special items that cannot be claimed again unless one were to transfer over save data to a new file? And what of backer exclusive items? I would imagine those won't be a part of the traditional alchemy system, since those are novelty items...

Haha, I can't say that I'm surprised that Pure Miriam created this thread, nor that Enkeria was the first to respond. I strongly believe that using shards could be an integral part of creating new items. They did it in Dawn, why not Ritual?

Enkeria I highly doubt they would use special items in recipe's and I seriously doubt they would use backer exclusive items in the recipes, since not all players will have these items. I was very surprised when creating a certain weapon in a certain game of a certain series required use of the Gergoth soul, an item players only received through the story once normally. I wouldn't worry about it.

Yep. This is about as much of THAT screenshot as I could get. Can we just sit in wonder at Johannes's lovely staring eyes. Oohh but I AM totally excited for this new system. Reminds me of Krak Pot from Dragon Quest IX. <3 Attachments:

I did the $300 Slacker Backer through Fangamer. I would have done a much higher tier had I known about Bloodstained when the actual kickstarter first launched, but beggers can't be choosers. I've contemplated upgrading to the $500 tier, but getting a giant ass map just doesn't seem worth $200. Though I could of course change my mind. Perhaps if someone were to coerce me otherwise. But that's neither here nor there.

Enkeria Yes and Sound cues have just as little to do with death animations.

LeoLeWolferoux I think we will still get crit hit information, or higher numbers when you hit an enemy which is weak against something. That Bestiary can be handled in so many different ways. Perhaps it is as a deeper spot in the castle, perhaps it won't fill in the blanks until you actually manage to hit it strong vs weak, or weak vs strong. Maybe you need to defeat a lot of them before it is even written down. This is IF we even get a Bestiary. A sound cue are done in FPS games, when you crit-hit, head shot etc. It tells you that you did achieve something, and it can empower you to do better if you feel you miss out. This would swap alchemy, weapons, subweapons or shard-abilities to get that satisfying critical damage, or insta-kill frenzy feelz. Since I do not see the numbers in games. Those that actually float out of the attack, also where it says "block" and so on, a sound cue would be nice. I had numbers in Diablo III when I ran around killing stuff, but I didn't see them, or reflect on them very much. So in a sense, the cue would help out a lot to let at least, me to know I used right weapon. And sound cue for greater damage would be way easier than animate monsters for a special death if I hit them with "right weapon / element". Edit: And give the option to have it OFF if people do not like the sound of being awesome. But we already know that Bloodstained has parameters that show how much damage is done through viewing of the demo. We also know that Bestiaries are in a large chunk of the games such as Dawn and Order. And yes higher damage could equal an elemental weakness, or it could simply be from switching to a weapon that is more powerful, or a more powerful spell, or through leveling. Many factors feed into damage formulas, so Bestiaries are clean, and easily understood ways of communicating enemy traits. (IE weakness) Another thing that I would like to point out is that withholding information from a Bestiary due to variables such as 'you haven't killed the enemy with THIS elemental yet...' is both gimmicky w/ mechanics, and incredibly inefficient. Not only that but I believe that I have yet to play a game where such a withholding of information was present. One last piece is about your edit...it's incredibly passive aggressive and one would do well to keep biased opinions to oneself. An unnecessary option, for an unnecessary mechanic. That's all I'm saying.

Also another idea
Have crit sound, an elemental strong vs weak sound, so we know we use right weapon, and a crit elemental strong vs weak sound to get hyped about. Knowing we do good in this battle.
I'm afraid I don't agree with this. Giving sound cues would essentially rend the Bestiary invalid due to the nature of information already being given. Also I think that the crystal shard animation looks satisfying as all hell as well, Angel-Corlux so I wouldn't tamper with that if you don't have to. However other enemies in the game could have different death animations dependent on what 'type' or 'category' of enemy. Skeleton or Spittle Bone? Make a death animation of the enemy's limbs going flying in different directions upon death. Slime or morte enemy? Make an animation of them melting in a bubbling pile of goo. Things like this. Of course you could make different death animations for every enemy, but I also understand that that probably isn't feasible.

Well, we know she's an NPC as it is, but Anne apparently exists to take over for her while she's gone. That to me means when she's running around the castle.
Strong case to be made for Gebel too though. Even if he doesn't have his own distinct color theme going on, he will have the cape/cloak and magic going for him. That was enough for Alucard. That's good insight, Puri. I strongly believe that Gebel will be one of the playables, too. At least I hope so. Zang is my second choice.

The same with me. I'm most excited about playing an Igavania game in a portable version after about a decade since the last one. Sorry, but other games just don't compare (not that theres much to choose from in the first place). Hmm...Switch is definitely doing very well though. Both creatively and financially. It blew the Wii U outta the water within the first 3 months, and not only is it packing AAA title after AAA title, it's getting lots of Indie and 3rd party company support.

This is, of course, all assuming they'll bother with the motion controls in the first place. I'm just wondering about the mere possibility of the specific buttons [normally used for Directional Shards on other console controllers] being left without function IF the developers decide to go with motion controls for Bloodstained's Switch version. Or, as JeffCross stated above, maybe the R-shoulder button could serve a slightly different purpose than for other console controllers (rather than firing the equipped Directional Shard right away; holding down R could enable you to aim Miriam's arm with motion-controls). Oooh...Or motion controls could be used for directional shards??
