Not a single rose-based reference for a suggested voice line?
No "A rose by any other name...", or, "This rose's thorns are sharp!"? Nothing?
Okay.

Sonic Forces. It has its flaws, to be sure, but it's legitimately fun for me. Awesome music, and the character creation adds to the entertainment. :3

Your wish is granted, but the subject and body are both blank, with the only content being an attached image of Igarashi-san's cowboy hat.
I wish I had a loyal familiar~

Thanks for sharing this. I was on the fence about whether or not I wanted to grab it before, but now I definitely want to. :3

Nights of Azure 2 on PS4. It has its flaws, but I LOVE the aesthetic, the characters, and the gameplay, all of which actually have a very Castlevania-esque gothic vibe to them.
And the music is <3 !

I'm in agreement with everyone that says there needs to be a Clock Tower area. It's a strong staple of the CV series. With that said, having a solidly made Aqueduct area (think some of the lower areas in Rondo of Blood, or the are in Harmony of Dissonance) would be pretty cool to traverse.

Well, I think that honestly, in the case of a Metroidvania/IGAvania style game, story is just as important an element as anything else. As you said, the player-made attachment to things such as character and world lore can help in the general immersion of things so very much.
It's just like when you think about what music can and will usually add to a game's overall presentation. Music helps to create atmosphere, tension in moments, and even adds to the personality of certain characters during integrally important scenes that lend themselves to said character's backstory. If it's not there, it MAY be harder to actually pull in the player in those respects, I think.
And yeah, Alucard was fun, but he was silly in Julius Mode. XD; I mean...short hop sword slashes were a thing, if you had the execution. =p Damage wasn't as high as Julius' with single strikes or anything, but it added up FAST. :3

I personally liked the way that extra playables were handled in prior games, where the standard was to beat the game to unlock the ability to play as them. That said, though, I think that more could be done to make playing as them a little more worthwhile. The Julius Mode in Dawn of Sorrow, which was in many ways a throwback to Castlevania III, was pretty awesome as a whole, and it almost felt like an entirely separate approach to the same game in some respects. It felt pretty satisfying to traverse the castle and deal with its dangers with the trio and their given abilities...even if Alucard made it a bit too easy at times.

Yes, definitely. A lot of the stories I write are fan-fiction based around properties I'm very familiar with, but beyond that, I've been working on my own verse as well, gradually building characters and the world therein. It's been fun~

PS4. :0 It's fun so far, and so FAR, at least, I adore Laxia (a supporting character). :3

^Part of that is because the second game fleshes out the gameplay mechanics more. Sakuya has a lot going on between assists and subweapons, as well as movement, and it just feels more fun to play.

Not sure if this has been asked yet, or if he could answer it, but, if Bloodstained does well enough, could we see a sequel to it? Also, how would Miriam react to having to traverse Dracula's domain?

Not too sure about Miriam there, whether she's feeling sassy or bored. =p 5/10 sounds about right~

The Touhouvania/Koumajou Densetsu games are amazing, and the music is really great, imo, especially since they do a nice job of paying homage to existing tracks from various CV titles.
If I recall, the Moriya Shrine might let you get your hands on them, as well as other Touhou games.
