Even Ben Judd has a tough time deciding on how to say it. Its really like Zeh Beel when IGA says it. Beelzebub it is then. . . But seriously, does anyone know where that name originates? That could help me understand proper pronunciation.

Mountains of Madness was a great read. It probably inspired John Carpenter's The Thing, one of my favorite films. IGA mentioned that he did like the Lovecraftian world, and that he isn't limiting the monsters to just the Lesser Key. John Carpenter's The Thing was my favourite of the 3. I still remember watching it when I was 7. My dad had rented it for my brother and myself. Ahhhh... being terrified for a week at such a young age was fun.

To me, basically a familiar is a servant bound to you by either magic, or some sort of contract. Who would willingly give their entire life to someone unless it's love or slavery? And I doubt that a floating suit of armor can feel love. I am looking at you Iron Man!

I'm going to keep using RotN. People don't call Symphony of the Night CV SotN either. They just call it SotN. That's because there is more than one Castlevania. How many Bloodstaineds are there? If another is to be made, I doubt it's going to be RotN II.

I would just like to say, I think that people who join the FORUM later, but who can verify that they were Kickstarter backers should also be granted membership in the Ancient Legion. Or we could just post on the KS page right now to join up here quick before "It" is announced =P

Nightmare from D&D? Like a black horse with flames? How bout Kelpiefrom that link: "...a common theme in the tales is of several children clambering onto the creature's back while one remains on the shore. Usually a little boy, he then pets the horse but his hand sticks to its neck. In some variations the lad cuts off his fingers or hand to free himself; he survives but the other children are carried off and drowned, with only some of their entrails being found later." I am hoping that Iga and the team draw inspiration from many cultures. I am looking forward to Jenny Green Teeth, or Baba Yaga. The Lesser Key of Solomon is a great source, but you notice a pattern which makes a lot of them predictable. Combine person with animal for spooky demon. It's good, don't get me wrong, but unless they design them in unique ways it will just look like Megaman X series bosses. Also, I am hoping for some Lovecraft inspired enemies (Big surprise there).

I would go with BS RotN. BS by itself and people think of swearing. RotN is good, but I am saving that until Iga makes a second Bloodstained. SotN works because there are multiple CV. So all logic points to BS RotN.

Hello hello, my name is Leon, pleasantly surprised that the username wasn't taken (hurrah!). I made a KS solely for Bloodstained which was pointless since I missed it, which consequently didn't allow me to comment on the page :/ Had to back it later via Paypal, oh well. I'm not too good at taking part in new communities so I don't know if I'll be much active around here, but it will be a different story if I do warm up! Which I'm hoping to do since I love the project and community :3 Seriously, I don't think I've looked so much into a game's development and information in... ever, actually. I'm not a person that's passionate about a lot of things. That should do for a first post presentation, pleasure to meet you~ Greetings and welcome! Enjoy your stay.

Heh, you will be a Great Old One to me regardless, Cale. I'll take quality posts over quantity any day. Spam is great fried up on toast with mustard, but I hate it on the forums. I really like spam. The food kind, mind you. I know people joke about it all the time, so I had to try it once to at least be open minded about it. . . I gotta say I see why people make fun of it. This is only slightly better than head cheese to me. . .

I think that we are almost guaranteed Gebel as a playable character, if not as one of the 3 normal playable characters, what about Boss Revenge mode?

Go Great Old Ones go! Muahahahahahaha!!!!! Demon and Elder Demon. More can be added and the names can be changed. I'm open to cool suggestions that fit Bloodstained. I can't tell you how hard it is to not pad my post count! Those titles alone are almost worth spamming "Ya" or "I agree" posts.

You are part the first generation of Bloodstained! 8gif I think everyone who joined before the news drops should get some special group header. I'm not sure if everyone would call it what I would though. Maybe we should hold a contest for naming it. Or, maybe we can impliment a virtual item exclusive to those who joined before "it happens." the Great Old Ones

but I think most people will only picked the strongest familiar though.... Well, maybe a selection of the strongest It's true for people who are competitive. But not everyone will be playing for optimization. Or even if they do, I'm sure on subsequent playthroughs people will want variety, and end up using a different weapon/familiar/playstyle. It's inevitable that one choice will be more obvious than another, it's up to the player to choose.

I have played SotN Playstation version and Dracula X Chronicles version. I haven't played the Saturn version, but there will always be Youtube haha. What's the best version though? I played the PlayStation version and I tried to play the PSP version without success (emulator wasn't good enough). I remember reading about the underground garden in Saturn version, but is there more difference? Maria Renard as a playable character! I never got to play it myself though. . .

Whether this forum becames official is not what matters, of course it'll be pretty neat if it does, but what matters is bringing us, the bloodstained backers and people who didn't get to back it up but are interested in the game, together. Share ideas for the game in hopes that they reach the developers, talk about the hype this game causes, etc. And when the game comes out or the betas are out share our experience. I think that is the most important thing and I think the admins feel the same way that's why this forum was created in the first place I agree. And I would also like to sa- Oh hey! It's Big Zam!

I thought so too, but re-reading the lore, it seems Miriam is not technically an alchemist, she was taken in by alchemists. Now we know that they did the crystal experiment on a bunch of kids, but we don't know if they were under a friendly guise in the beginning, or if they decided to try and teach the kids any alchemy. We shall see. Does the fact that Miriam will be able to craft new weapons via Alchemy qualify her as technically an Alchemist? (I wonder if some of the Spells she will use could signify that, too) She hasn't been literally called one in the story so far, of course, but it does seem that she knows the practice...or at the very least the ability to create arms & armor through the use of Alchemy. Actually, current theories are that Miriam won't be doing that herself. . . Most people think Johannes will be the one to craft items for Miriam. My guess is her magic will stem from the magi-crystal curse, like Gebel's. So we will have Johannes (the last Alchemist) using his powers to forge weapons for Miriam. And we will have Miriam (magi-crystal cursed heroine) using magic that is most likely demonic in nature. EDIT: Does the fact that Miriam will be able to craft new weapons via Alchemy qualify her as technically an Alchemist? (I wonder if some of the Spells she will use could signify that, too) She hasn't been literally called one in the story so far, of course, but it does seem that she knows the practice...or at the very least the ability to create arms & armor through the use of Alchemy. Johannes is an alchemist. It'd make sense if he was crafting things for Miriam. EDIT: Ninja'd by XombieMike without even noticing. Me too. . . babies are quite distracting
