This is assuming Johannes is the second character (I know it is not official yet but whatever)
ok this is a very open poll, once you choose, you also have to say what kind of job you want them to have and if you choose one of the youths you have to say (boy/girl)
so mine is: Wild youth girl scientist (or steam punk knight)
(Changed my mind on page 3) I will end this poll at the 20th of this month

am posting again cause just changed my avatar... just a bit though lol. if you want to know what the symbolism is about, check out page three on this thread Page 3 was useful =P so you draw it yourself? Great, creating characters is very entertaining, I used to create manga characters years ago. Your character made me remember those purple evil wizards from Heretic realm.Did you played that game? I liked it =) thus 11.3333/10 XD Always a you Galamoth so I guess I will give you a 10/10, still don't like the that you killed me in SotN but it's all good if you look close the default pic is incorporated in the background of my original avatar.

ok Iga said he thinks he needs more monsters, so what ideas do you guys have?
here are a few of mine:
Cling Skeleton - will run and toward the player, and if it reaches the players they hold onto them (with arms, legs and rib cage) then sucking out life. once attached they are really hard to get off. (the only way is to escape it to leave the room, go tangent, use shield bash or dash into a wall which will damage the player too). note it can attach to sheilds if in use and will not take life but the player cannot use shield until it is off.
Cling Boom - the same as the Cling Skeleton but will blows up. the explosion is comparable to the amount of life it has... if you attack it and lower it's life it can be a dud.
Skeleton whipper - a skeleton with a whip and a strangely familiar stance.

As much as I'm enjoying the conversation about hardware and game engine I think this thread has strayed from the original topic which deserves a good deal of thought. Candle whipping is important to upholding the legacy of Castlevania games, so what is the best way to use the drops from candles? The candle skeleton has an important role in the castle. Let's make his salary go up by stressing the importance of the candles. Let's be glad candles are returning at all.. They won't be dropping hearts though, so I wonder what they WILL drop. shards of magic, flames, or shards of stained glass?

My main issue is that the later castlevania games started getting a bit repetitive with enironments. Box rooms. Into hallways, into box rooms with copy and paste designs., I want a well designed castle that feels lived in and has soul like sotn yeah I agree, I want this new castle to feel alive and very distinct with ever corner we turn... the gba and ds games were so limited that they could not be as unique as (I feel) Iga wanted them to be. so I hope we get an awesomely unique castle with the powerful systems they will be on.

We all love Castlevania, but even the greatest masterpiece has its flaws... These are matters of personal taste, but if we put our heads together maybe we can reach a consensus about the nitpicky issues that need to be fixed for Bloodstained. In my opinion, most flaws are unique to individual games, but the one I want to talk about affected quite a few… It all started back in 2003 with Aria of Sorrow… This masterpiece abandoned traditional Subweapons in favor of the Tactical Soul System. Subweapon ammo was no longer needed, so hearts became magic points to fuel Bullet, Ability, and Guardian Souls. This transition from subweapons to magic systems had a lasting impact on the series —including a few unintended consequences… Without subweapons to drop, candles lost their strategic value. And even when subweapons returned for Portrait of Ruin and Harmony of Despair, they returned as collectible equipment instead of tradable powerups. But I digress, that’s a separate complaint… Without subweapons, the only candle drops left were the small hearts, large hearts, and various amounts of money. Since the Tactical Soul System was a magic system, it was only natural to make heart drops a higher priority than money drops. But instead of each candle dropping a consistent predetermined reward, all candles were rigged to drop small hearts until max out. Then (once the magic meter was full) candles would begin dropping random amounts of money. And therein lies the problem. In order to collect money from candles, players are forced to STOP using their magic and grind. Do you remember what it was like saving up for that Soul Eater Ring? Yessir, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. No fun with magic. No extra experience points. And no rare drops. Just the most mundane routine —slash candles, collect money, exit room, slash candles, collect money, exit room, lather, rinse, repeat…. This issue had an impact on shop economics as well. I think we can all agree that the Soul Eater Ring was fairly priced and well worth grinding for… But was anything else? More than two-thirds of Hammer’s inventory can be found elsewhere in the Castle, and none of the exclusive items were nearly as precious. Again this is a matter of personal taste… But why bother having a shop if you’re only getting enough money to buy a few potions between boss battles? Why bother having a shop that’s over-stocked with C List equipment you can find elsewhere in the Castle? If I have to grind like hell to get money, the shop should be offering a lot more exclusive must-have items, weapons, armor, accessories, and relics. But then again, more exclusives would require more money and more grinding… So let’s get back to the candle drop system. Igarashi has said that Bloodstained will have candle-slashing gameplay, but we don’t know about the drops yet. For the sake of discussion, let’s assume the candles continue dropping hearts and money. Nothing is finalized, but Igarashi currently favors magic over subweapons, so hearts would continue fueling the magic meter. In my opinion, we should return to the classic system, where each candle drops a consistent predetermined reward. These drops should offer a healthy balance of hearts and money throughout the entire game. But why stop there when we can have the best of both worlds? Why not create special accessories to manipulate the system? Why not make a Heart Broach accessory that forces all candles to drop small hearts? Equip 2 for large hearts. And how about a Gold Ring accessory that forces all candles to drop money? Equip 2 for double cash. But what if you equip one of each? All predetermined small hearts become large, and all predetermined money drops double. I’d also like to see the candles dropping more powerups. Subweapons are the obvious choice, but does anyone here remember the Invincibility Jar, Rosary, and Shot Upgrades? 1-Ups could even return as a sort of Sacrificial Dol (similar to Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness)… Well that’s enough of my opinion. Feel free to share yours and shine the spotlight on whatever flaws you think need to be fixed. I like this thread, but I don't think the candles was such a big issue... if you needed MP it gave you hearts if you had enough MP you would get money... but this was not supposed to be for money grinding. It was just an incentive to hit the candles... there were some places that gave you a large bag of gold but they were far and few in between and if it gave you a lot of gold it would give you a large heart if you attacked it. if you wanted to grind you were supposed to equipped items that gave you a lot of luck and go to a place that dropped expensive weapons then sell them to Hammer (or whoever ran the store) I think the candle system was perfected in AoS and i feel Iga will use this system again (but I could be wrong LOL) now about getting items since there will be crafting in this games I think crafting material should be for sale and the more you collect of an item the less expensive it becomes (except for the rare and ultra rare items) and yes I did like that Sacrificial Doll would be a good idea XD

I'm fine with this. Also, what could have been: I can definitely recreate that background image and the bats if desired for the temp art... But I think in the spirit of honoring SML we should do something different entirely. Happy we finally have a group name! Grats to everyone as we're all winners at the end of the day =) well how about moons, swords, whips, the rose from bloodstained?

Playing Earthbound for the first time on my new Wii U. Other that, I've recently played Persona Q, Conception 2, Fire Emblem Awakening, Soulcalibur Lost Swords, The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, and more. However, I've been unable to play a whole lot due to boredom and depression. depression... their with you, do the same thing. that's why I have a lot of games but only play some of them.

Even then, True Ancestor was way more well received than I (and probably Arcueid too) ever predicted. And I really wonder how you missed this poll You're right. I seriously didn't think True Ancestor would get that many votes. Most of those votes probably didn't even get the reference either, haha. At any rate, I'm A-OK with Ancient Legion being the group's name. lol don't worry Arcueid Brunestud you'll always be a true True Ancestor to us
