So far I've put in about 8 hrs (with about 68% completion) and noticed that a number of the "Avenger" quests (where you avenge the deaths of fallen villagers) are call backs to the Castlevania series as there are almost a dozen (so far) character named after characters from the Castlevania games (there's Simon, Mathias, Trevor, Lisa, Annette, Rosaly, Richter, Soleiyu, Sypha, and Juste) so that got me curious outside of the obvious stuff (like OD , weapons, music, etc. ) has anyone else noticed any other nods to Castlevania?

After the new PS4 update and a few attempts I was finally able to get my backer ID to finally show up! Mine still isn't... It was a little finicky for me but I do know that you are required to enter the # symbol in front of your backer number, also when it finally accepted mine I had all the letters in my Backer ID capitalized. Another thing I want to bring up is that I've seen a theory floating around that the Backer ID thing might be tied to the tier you pledged at and that it will only work for backers who pledged $100 or more (which I did), but no one to my knowledge has been able to figure if it's true or not so hopefully Question will be able to help answer that for us.

simon damn how'd you find these out? also I tried out the one for ALPHAOMEGASIN, could you update your post to indicate that using the code starts the game off with a sword called Darkness Descends (which has 15 attack and in the description says "Death is Certain, life is not")

Encountered another PS4 bug, was trying to access the underground area just outside the castle entrance but now I can no longer enter the area and when I try to exit through the door I entered through it's now doing it. I ended up using a waystone to get out of their but now some of the sound effects are missing and there is no music playing in the village (I remember there being music there, but I could be wrong).
Update: Ended up resetting the game which seems to have fixed it (for now). 58258549045__FAA36E9B-1E7E-441B-AC20-28F1C3....MOV (5.9 MB)

PS4 bug: Just transported into the Library using the Warp room and upon exiting through the bottom entrance then going to the left (where the metal "staircase" is) off of the platform it the game will suddenly warp Miriam back onto the platform. This even happens when you drop all the way down to the base of the metal staircase, I'll try to post video on here shortly. Also at first I didn't know if this was a bug or not but occasionally while using the Claw of Onmoraki sword it would freeze Miriam midswing for a few seconds before suddenly following through with the animation.
UPDATE: I ended up having to reset my game after encountering another bug and now it seems that both bugs have been fixed, but I'll leave both posts up just in case.

Loving the game so far, Zengetsu was a little tougher than I expected but I finally beat him and I had a nice chuckle when I got to meet Todd . I also found and gave Miriam a new hairstyle which imo looks pretty sweet don’t you think? : p Are the alternate hairstyles animated at all? I fear that, despite them looking cool, I'll be sticking to the main hairstyle if it's the only one that's been polished. I believe I saw one video where the ponytail appeared to be animated, but another where Miriam had long hair and it was stiff as a board and very blocky.
So far I've only seen/gotten 3 hairstyle and the one shown in the picture as far as I can tell does have some animation going from over her shoulder to behind her though it was kind of hard to tell at time given how small she is on the screen while playing.

UPDATE: I finally got my game, but not without a little trouble. Turns out we got a new mail person who hadn’t run the route before which is why it took them til about 5pm EST to finally deliver the mail. Problem was that in their hurry they delivered the mail, but not any of the packages that they were supposed to deliver. Fortunately I was able to hunt them down before they got too far and get my packages (which included the game)

I just got my copy in the mail although I am a little confused I am going to admit I have not been active in these forums since near the beginning,But I paid for the $100 edition which ...I forgot what its called but all I got was the base game and a very cool looking slip case in the mail,Im going to assume the rest of the contents are coming out at a later date? Yeah the rest of the physical items outside of the game and slipcase (like the soundtrack, Kojima sleeve, retro strategy guide,etc.) will arrive/ship at a later date.

The Backer ID linking appears to be broken. I saw someone else mention they were having trouble with Backer ID, personally I don't know since the game hasn't arrived yet (damn mailman decided that he was gonna take his sweet ass time today) though I am curious on how we find out what our Backer ID is? is it our FanGamer order #? is it our Backer # on the KS page? or is it our Forum ID?

If I had an excessive amount of money I'd probably still get in contact with them to see if they would do a commission of the stained glass sword. I'm guessing something like that would be waaay out of my price range just seeing the work that goes into them. I am looking forward to seeing the Heirloom sword build though. If I had the money I'd probably go with the cane that turns into a chain whip from Bloodborne or the Crissagrim from SotN and yeah it might be out of your price range cause depending on how it's made & how much stained glass they use the minimum cost for stained glass is apparently $100 per square foot while the max is around $1000 per square foot. Btw the video is now live and I think they did a pretty good job with the sword.

Hey guys, don't know if you've heard of this show or not, but the main focus it to build real life versions of famous video game weapons and then testing them. So far the show has done Dante's Rebellion Sword from Devil May Cry, The Soul Blade & Soul Edge swords from the Soul Calibur series, Sora's Pirate Keyblade from Kingdom Hearts and The Cleaver from Bloodborne just to name a few. Well as you can probably tell from the title of the thread they've released a new episode today where they will be making the infamous Alucard Sword if any of you are interested here is the link

USPS hasn't updated their tracking since yesterday so it just says "In Transit, Arriving On Time", but it is scheduled to be delivered by 8 pm Monday night though hopefully it'll get delivered much earlier than that

I really hope no one here was excited for Shenmue 3 on PC because it just got confirmed as an Epic Games Store exclusive. @bloodymiri Yeah the thing with Shenmue 3 in my opinion is that it was always pretty shady as far as the Kickstarter aspect went, the kickstarter was announced after Bloodstained had been such a success and it rode that popularity, but more importantly the kickstarter was announced at E3, by Sony themselves at their own press conference. What that means (to me) is that there was already tens of thousands if not more money invested into this project, Sony wouldn't have put it out there unless they were already invested in it since planning something for E3 is NOT cheap. Shenmue 3 KickstarterThey also were preparing to accept in excess in over 11 million in funding. But if Sony was already invested like I believe, there was literally no need to ask for that money. I tried making a thread about this back in the day to discuss it, but it wasn't a very popular subject. I'm sure not everyone involved is a crook but I do believe the reality is that Shenmue 3's entire Kickstarter was at best nothing but a fan paid advertisement campaign. To an extent that's true of Bloodstained as well however I've never seen any evidence that suggested that Bloodstained would have been made anyways nor that it's creation and funding was secured long before the Kickstarter happened. In fact I've seen evidence of the opposite with companies slipping in and out of the campaign and plans changing. This sorta thing is another reason why I would not want a second fan-funding for another Bloodstained game. The line between giving the fans an opportunity and exploiting them to maximize profits would get thinner and thinner even with the best of intentions on all sides. It's simply not a sustainable long term business model. It felt kinda shady to me as well just based on the reward tiers and the stretch goals (such as $125 for a physical game, a cheap plastic toy, a piece of useless DLC, name in credits and first access to the game via a trial version demo or a $2.7 million stretch goal for French subtitles), but despite that I ended up backing it mostly out of curiosity since I had never played a Shenmue game yet was always hearing about it, somewhat fortunately (for now) I only backed for a physical PS4 copy. Though I will say you do make a few good points and now that even more shit has started to hit the fan (namely the discovery that physical PC backers are no longer getting a game on a disc and are instead getting a DVD case with an ES download card. Plus the discovery that not only is some of the backer exclusive DLC content from the $100 to $250 tiers being sold as part of a $75 Digital Deluxe Edition, but that said edition also comes with a season pass which none of the backers are...for now at least.... not getting and didn't even know was coming in the first place. On top of that anyone who backed at $100 or higher as part of their tier rewards were told that they would be the first people in the world to play the game via a trial version/demo for backing at those tiers, those backers have yet to get their demo when it was discovered that not only were they not the first people to play the game, but rather games journalist were and that later on the game was apparently available for anyone at this year's E3 to play) which really solidifies just how shady they really are/were.
