Her attacks are getting stronger... Don't let your cursed luck get the better of you, Net Spectre! Take this small vial of healing, and get back in the game!

Aaahhhh I still gotta order mine as well ;o; I was meant to do it, what, 2 years ago? But frickin' Nintendo wasn't slowing down on all those beautiful 3DS releases... 16th of November is probably my earliest. If not, the 30th of November for sure.
I do worry though. Purify is right. You saw all of those backer tiers, I'm sure. It's going to take quite awhile for the team to get everything in order, as well as distribution(gotta think of the overseas too). They'd need to make a cut off date, and if the game is going to be in the first quarter of 2018, I'd wager a couple months, at the least...
You might just make it in though!

Taken aback by such powers, I'll take this moment to retreat to the rear! Our party may be starting to feel the effects of battle, but we're far from done!
Yugo! Take this divine Wall Mac I just found. My good lad, you need your strength!

I LOVE STORY TIME! Aside from the seizure incident (I'm so glad he was alright <3), I had a big stupid grin on my face reading all of this. It sounds like you guys had a real busy, yet enjoyable blast! So great to see all of these pictures too, everybody being such dags, that UNSC Spartan and the Contra soldiers, I wish I could have gone!! This is as close as I'll get though, so thank you for sharing the experience, Angel-Corlux! ^_^ And Mana too!! It sounds like you had quite an adventure running around NY with Iga and your sis. That cathedral is so beautiful!! Who could blame Iga for going into nerd mode XD Such wonderful times to read about, I'm glad everybody is safe and well and that everything at NYCC was a success!

So, I've had two gut feelings since the beginning of the Kickstarter campaign... 1. Johannes as a Maria-type character. Y'know, he's exploring the castle alongside the protag, yet on his own terms. You encounter him in many different areas, and you communicate with him, he gives you interesting/helpful facts, items, and/or drives the story's plot forward. Maybe you even end up fighting him like you do Hugh in CotM. Perhaps over a conflict regarding Gebel, since Johannes was his best friend in the past? He looks like the kind of character who would be wise and supportive, otherwise. And 2. Gebel definitely being a playable character. I'm not sure what it is, but I get this Vergil from DMC3 vibe from him(concept-wise, not character-wise). Being the main antagonist, sharing the Magi-crystal Curse with the protagonist, and just his spectacular design in general. I feel like it'd be too good of an opportunity to pass up, I guess? He'd give that sense of being familiar on a gameplay standpoint(since his curse could allow him to utilize certain abilities same as Miriam), while still being a fresh experience(naturally he'll have things only he can do, his own unique skill sets). I'm sure Gebel will appeal greatly to players by the end of the game, so why not have him as a playable character? Who doesn't love getting the chance to be the bad guy, especially one you like! Aside from those 2 (and Miriam, of course), this is my first time actually reading about these new characters, so allow me to give my first impressions also! Zangetsu: Angry demon hunter with a wicked design and all the motive to be there?? I can definitely see why people would assume him as a playable character. Just by looking at his design you can tell he's gonna have a lot of different skills and abilities, so unless we duke it out against him in the castle, that's a rather extravagant design for a smaller role! So yeah, playable character is very likely. If not, perhaps he'll be some sort of arms dealer who you can buy weapons off? I mean it's unlikely, but... I can see him being the kind of character to be so set on revenge that he loses his smarts and ends up getting cursed or possessed or something or other, something to force you into battle with him whether either of you like it or not. Dominique: Though it's stated she'll be running the shop in the castle, it would certainly be interesting to have her as a playable character. She'd offer a very different experience, most likely. Less about the weapons, more about the cool magical stuff. Story-wise I don't know what to expect of her, but I would love for her to play a greater role! And hey, the more plot twists, the better, I say! Alfred: He's at fault for killing Zangetsu's partner? Oooooh dramaaaaah! xD There's going to be a feud in this castle. Maybe we'll be forced to pick a side? That'd be sweet. If he's summoning demons though, that doesn't sound good. Perhaps he's another baddie, after all. Powerful old grandpa's are always welcome as playable characters though. I wouldn't mind. It'd be like a “what if we could have played as the librarian in SotN?” Anne: Nooooo, don't let her fight! We must protect that smile! D: A little kid in an evil, cursed castle... Plot twist, she's the main villain. No?? Okay. I can't very well see her being a playable character, but... You're right, we do never know. I'll rule her out for now though. As for story purposes, I do hope she's got some higher significance. Maybe because she's so small she can get around the castle via small pathways and shafts and such, and thus lead to her helping you out in certain situations. Or uh, perhaps she'll be like... a Familiar summoner or such. Hey, there's a thought for ya!

I've been quite out of the loop myself, though I think what has happened is that Inti Creates has pulled out of the MAIN development(meaning they're still around, I think they are doing some side stuff?) of Bloodstained, back in E3 last year? And DICO is picking up where they left off, while ArtPlay remains as the heavy lifter.
(Edit: Thank you, DSLevantine! I didn't see your post until after I refreshed, haha.)

There's a version in Circle of the Moon?? I don't ever remember hearing it, haha! (I think Proof of Blood consumed my life) For me though it has still gotta be SotN. RoB is a close second, though.

Happy 20th! My goodness, I had no idea. What a night to sign up to this forum, eh?
I first heard of the Castlevania series while playing the Van Helsing game back in late 2004. After noting my love for dark gothic themes (and Devil May Cry), my older sister brought it to my attention, but I didn't actually pick up and play a Castlevania game until December, 2012. I was scrolling through my best mate's digital library on the 360 when I came across Symphony of the Night. I booted the game up instantly when he told me how good it was, and boy, he was not lying.
Funny thing was, this whole time I was picturing Castlevania to be a 3D Adventure game, but when that title screen popped up, I knew I was in for a treat. And after the Prologue battle with Richter against Dracula, I was hooked for certain.
I hadn't played anything like it in my life, aside from Metroid II on the Gameboy as a child. But this game was on a whole other level. Visually, I was awed. The sprite work was so detailed, and the animations were so fluid, it made it seem timeless. I cringed at the voice acting at first, but it's definitely something you learn to love, and now I wouldn't have it any other way (I'm so happy Robbie Belgrade is going to be in Bloodstained! AHHHHH!!!).
I then proceeded to play the game for 2 hours, most of which was spent getting destroyed by Slogra & Gaibon. I died so many times but it only made me want to play more, learning my way around the game little by little and finding new secrets & items every time I tried again. It was truly special, and I hope Bloodstained throws me that many curve-balls the day we first go to play it as well.
My mate gave me SotN and a PSX emulator before I had to leave, and the rest is history. I've since finished the game 5 times: Once the week I got it, and then once every October since! The setting and the music make it my go-to Halloween game, and the RPG elements is something I never would have suspected from a platformer, but it's what keeps me playing for hours on end.
The game and its castle is huge, but how fast you complete it is entirely up to the player, and that's something I adore. When they said Bloodstained's castle was going to be the biggest one yet, I jumped out of my seat! I'm super excited to explore a whole new castle, and I have a good feeling this castle's going to be my favorite one yet! Bloodstained's characters look spectacular, it's got a wealth of new features planned by the sounds of things, Yamane is back at it along with Yamada(he's still on board, right?), and Iga's at the wheel. I haven't been this excited for a video game in 10 years. (I just hope we can get Mana more involved, too!)
