Well I clicked the link and it proved to me that people will debate anything. I was considering making a joke thread about what food items should be in the game but I don't want to stir the pot too much since I'm still one of the new guys.
Ah what the heck - my vote goes towards fish n' chips since it's set in the UK.

Pure Miriam Fair point. I still think a 5% drop rate could only have improved gameplay in most instances. For truly game-breaking items such as the crissaegrim sword in SOTN it's understandable to have an extremely low drop rate since challenge significantly changes. That's just my humble opinion however.

purifyweirdshard You might have the right idea after all. I checked out the First 4 Figures and Mondo sites and many of their figures are $200 US or more. That price range would deter any but the most devoted fan and the nendoroid option would likely sell better. In the case of First 4 Figures 400-500 was not uncommon and I'd rather spend that kind of money on something else. We can all agree that Funko Pop is out of the question though; Miriam deserves better

Hmm - I'd prefer the Miriam figure to resemble the Alucard model shown above which would make for a fantastic collectable for true fans. As for the Funko Pop figures... I briefly considered getting the Joi figure from Blade Runner 2049 but was disappointed when I saw it up close. Like Sunraiser stated: there's so little detail.

Thought I'd chime in: my mom, cousin, next door neighbor and myself all quit using the patch. It gets rid of the physical cravings but not necessarily the psychological ones. In other words, if you do a task then "reward" yourself with a cigarette, it won't help in this respect. Like you I was a pack or so a day.
The key is to not follow the directions on the box; the package says to switch from step one to two after six weeks or so but all of us switched when we felt ready to do so. By the time I was on step three (the smallest dosage) I was forgetting to put on the patch and had essentially quit by that point. Just don't wear the patch when you're sleeping. Also when you do quit, take note of how much you've saved and reward yourself after certain milestones. That helps to prevent you from relapsing.
I wish you the very best of luck and success in quitting.

The section with boss iga?? If I recall correctly wasn't the Kickstarter edition supposed to have an exclusive area with a boss-Iga creature. I'll see if I can find the picture they made for it. If I'm wrong on any of this, please feel free to correct me...
EDIT - FOUND IT: bloodstained.wikia.com/wiki/File:Iga_Boss.jpg

Wow, there's a big percentage of 500s around here. Still kinda wish I had went for Runic Forging. It's probably best I didn't because of medical expenses that came etc, but man Who could resist the fold out map . I'm very curious to see what the special Kickstarter section with "boss-Iga" looks like. As a side note, I think it was a great idea to leave the Kickstarter tiers open this long. I had wanted to back Shantae Half Genie Hero but missed the boat and if they had done the same as Iga and co. I would have gladly given the funds.

Time 4 Tea purifyweirdshard And perhaps New Game + have options, to let us continue to obtain things, or not.. It would make grinding less so (?). I think the New Game + would be the best solution to satisfy everyone. The reason I bought up my concerns was that I recall grinding to level 8 in Aria of Souls on the first room farming basic zombies over and over and over, etc. Some chance is nice but when it dips below a 1% drop rate things cease to be as fun.

Hi - I hope this thread isn't "closed" and that you're still open to suggestions. I recently played Aria of Sorrow for the first time and although I greatly enjoyed the game, I felt the soul drop rate was too low and detracted from the title. I think some random chance is fine but there is a point when it can become a chore especially for those who like go for 100% completion. I don't suppose you know what the general shard drop rate will be? In the 2017 demo the rates appeared to be quite high, which is what I'm hoping for. Thank you in advance!

I chose GOG, because DRM-Free. I was absolutely thrilled when Iga and his team announced that they would make Bloodstained available on GOG at launch. I wish more new titles would be released on that platform.

What a great thread! If I could "thumb up" an entire thread, I would do so.
As for the topic itself: exploration, action platforming and collecting are all key parts of the formula. That said I like it when the item I collect has a visible purpose. Although I love Metroid/Igavania games as a genre, I'm less into collect-a-thon type of games such as Yooka-Laylee where you are collecting for the sake of collecting (I'm not putting the genre down, it's just not my cup of tea). There is a fair bit of overlap between the two genres but most people know very quickly what separates one from the other.

I'm so glad Bloodstained has 505 Games and they as a company/Angel seem quite averse to such nonsense I think so too; Angel and 505 Games have given off "good vibes" so far and they seem to be a perfect fit for Bloodstained. This was my first and to-date only project I've backed on Kickstarter and I really hope it is successful.

I chose valkyrie, angelic, stained glass, vampire and mage (I would VERY much like to see Miriam with a witch costume similar to the Castlevania foes complete with her own broom and "attack cats"). I can't decide on a sixth outfit.

Thanks for the quick reply! As far as a PC release goes, I believe it is very likely. Just recently GOG had an SNK sale with most of their library available for purchase. The sale had PC ports of the Fatal Fury series, Art of Fighting, KOF and Samurai Showdown as well as others.

konami will never court gamers seriously again until pachinko and mobile are either deemed illegal or the bubble pops so bad that they have to scramble to find new ways of making money right that minute, and since EA royally screwed the pooch on lootboxes and mt with their greed konami wont be able to go that route at least until the dumpster fire dies down, which is a sad thing for any of the devs under konami that still want to make full games i think if survive ever does come out, itll be obvious there were lootboxes and mt planned but had to be yanked to avoid getting EAd and huge chunks of the game will be just missing, and lb/mt will seep back in through dlc You made a very good point. EA's recent behavior not only impacts itself and the unfortunate studios under it but affects the industry as a whole. From what I gather Belgium and possibly Australia have deemed lootboxes as gambling and are proposing regulations.

I always had a soft spot for Yuri Sakazaki so hopefully she's in this one. It does look a bit... Dead or Alive-ish though.

Wow - I guess this forum is pretty lenient about thread necromancy (which is cool . At any rate - here's my suggestion: In keeping with the stained glass theme, why not have a fully stained glass Miriam? If any of you played Castlevania 64, there were stained glass knights that would spawn around windows and I think it would be neat to have an alternate sprite of her character. Just my 2 cents...
