I think you're overlooking a very real possibility - that every enemy might not have a shard that's usable as an ability, but some of them might drop crafting materials for improving other shards and/or gear. Why do I say that not every enemy needs to have a usable shard? It's real simple. There's only so much variety you can have before you start having things that are simply redundant at best and completely worthless at worst. This way, you can still have the excitement (and frustration) that comes with hunting for a specific drop without flooding the game with pointless amounts of crystal shards. Enemies who don't have shards should drop crafting materials instead. Think about that. I totally agree. It's just like writing a song. I'd rather have less songs, with complete original features, than have a BUNCH of songs, each one sounding similar to another. And I think another good point Mr. Chuckles pointed out is that we know very little about the Forging features that the game will include. Remember in Dawn of Sorow, where Yoko could infuse weapons with the souls of fallen monsters, to create entirely new weapons? Maybe there'll be a similar concept in this game, but the opposite will hold true. Let me give you an example: Buer: CON booster. Increases CON passively when equipped. Well...if there's anything I know about Koji, it's that there will probably be better versions of said 'Buer'. (With different names of course) Perhaps this stronger version won't drop a shard, but rather materials to increase the effectiveness of the Buer shard...? Perhaps a bigger bonus to the increased CON? (Since they're from the same 'family', we'll say) I'd say we better not jump to conclusions, until the beta comes out, or at least until we know more about the Forging system. :]

I didn't include the Dawn of Sorrow version because of how similar it was to the Symphony of the Night arrangement.

I feel wrong looking at all this but man this seems to be a large game. Did SOTN have anything close to 20 warp rooms? Jesus. Also the weapon types and visual change information is exciting. So can you gather if there will most likely be other costumes within the game like the pure one? Or will the other visual changes come from individual items like head pieces? I KNOW ahaha I didn't wanna look at it either but here I am. :p

I loved SotN, and almost everything about it.
Almost.
One thing that I didn't care for were the directional imputs for Alucard's spells. (it was kinda a pain in the @$$ trying to pull off a Soul Steal when enemies are already hammering away at your low health) >B( Dark metamorphosis and summon spirit were about the ONLY ones that I could get to work. Don't get me wrong, I loved the game, and every general aspect about it, but the button combination abilities is something that I would NOT like to see make a return.
Sorry guys. :/

Dracula. The on ultimate obstacle on your quest to vanquish the night, (or BECOME the object to vanquish the night, if you're Shanoa :p) And the track that has been redone over and over again is none other than the track Dance of Illusions. So lemme me ask you guys this...I need to know what your favorite arrangement of this song is. With how many there are, there's bound to be ONE that catches your ear more than others. I personally find it to be one of my favorite tracks, and definitely very climactic and fitting for the battle that always ensues. So, which version is YOUR favorite? :p
(SotN)
(CotM)
(RoB)
(J)
(HoD)
Also, on a side note, do you think that we'll be hearing any form of remix/Re-arrangement of DOI in Bloodstained? Yeah I know, copyright and all that, but Michiru is the one who made the track soooo...
...I think it would be a nice middle finger from Michiru to Konami.
...just sayin'. :]

I think it's an entirely valid complaint that it feels too much like it's spiritual predecessors; Bloodstained FEELS like SOTN. There are definitely tweaks that could be made to give the game it's own identity and make it more of it's own entity than "Castlevania 3.0". That said, the game does play pretty great for the most part. IDK, the biggest complaint I have, system-wise, is that shards seem to be a random drop. Personally, I'd change it to be psuedo-random instead, where each time an enemy's shard isn't dropped it increases the likeliness of the drop on next kill. Really easy system to implement, and helps against wasting the player's time. IMO, as much as I like the card system in Circle of the Moon, one of the worst aspects were that they were entirely random drops; I spent more time farming cards than I did actually playing the game. No need for that, in most iga games, there is always an item that raise the chance of the drop. Soul Eater Ring. (Also somewhat but not totally related the master ring for Jonathan on PoR...?) :p

I'm sure with the final product there'll be a lot more diversity with the enemy pool. I mean Dullahammer has a unique animation, and so does Morte. I think there'll be skeleton-esqe enemies that will have similar animations. And don't worry, Inti Creates will come up with some cool crap. I mean that animation when you obtain a new shard is absolutely PHENOMENAL. Even Iga said in the twitch that he "got goosebumps" the first time that he saw the animation. The only thing that I am worried about is the item drop. I hope that the items have their own unique drop images, rather than the generic 'loot bag' that we saw in the demo. :/

I kinda feel like Miriam, Gebel, and Johannes will be the playable characters. I can't see the latter two being any less than unlockable ones, unfortunately

Yeah one thing people don't realize is that when a game has multiple dubs, they basically hafta go over EVERY LINE again and again for each dub. This unfortunately costs TONS of money and is the reason why a lot of games only have at most 2 languages. (especially voice actor ones) Not to mention all of the script rewriting. :[
But on a happier note, I'm thoroughly glad that bloodstained (seems to) have intentions for a French Dub. :p

Hmmm. I'd hafta say that I disagree with your opinion. Unfortunately (especially female) demons tend to have overdramatized physical characteristics. And one of those characteristics can be...well...haha.
Just remember, boobs are only lumps of fat. (and mammal's mammary glands for milk production) :p

The demo is ONLY for steam right now, and unless your brother also had an account on kickstarter, or backed it and had a separate email/order, then only you will get the demo. It's only one per customer, no matter how many copies you buy, unfortunately.
