After doing the cheat code and beating Gebel, he reverts into his normal form and a week later offers Miriam a rose while asking her on a date. /terrible scenario Awww!! That is SO cute!! I could see both Gebel and Johannes going after her. Aw! That is turning into an Otome game!

How about a cheat to unlock Visual Novel scenarios? I could see Miriam being a little Tsudere in those scenes. I don't get it, what do you mean? Like some dating sim dialogue at the end of the game.

In spite of some serious flaws, I think Mirror of Fate had a couple ideas Igarashi should consider exploring for Bloodstained... First and foremost is how the Playable Characters interact with water. In the Classicvanias, water was always simply a deathpit. Poor Simon couldn't swim. But then in Symphony of the Night, Alucard would sink like an iron brick and walk underwater. Although he never needed to surface for air, he took damage until he got the Snorkel Relic. I understand Alucard's a vampire, but it never felt right to walk and jump underwater. Sometime later, Aria of Sorrow introduced new physics by making Soma float on the water like a piece of styrofoam. You can really feel the buoyancy if you jump kick into the water. But for gameplay purposes, the Skula soul allowed Soma to walk and breath underwater just like Alucard in Symphony of the Night. This is the key thing. Magic or relics should always justify this kind of unnatural behavior. In my opinion, Mirror of Fate just about nailed the water physics. The Playable Characters could finally swim, dive, and manage their oxygen supply. Water doesn't need to be a death pit, but drowning should still be a real threat. The swimmer physics also disabled combat --so no weapons, subweapons, or magic could be used in the water. Now we're talking about a challenge! IGAvania games are all about acquiring new skills to overcome obstacles... Shouldn't water be another dangerous obstacle for Miriam to overcome? Then later in the game, she can upgrade her powers to breathe underwater, walk and fight underwater, or walk on water like Soma-Jesus... Water issues aside... I also enjoy how Mirror of Fate made the Castle an interactive environment with various box and switch puzzles throughout the game. The Puppeteer and Carousel Engine puzzles were overkilled, but most other puzzles added depth and complexity without slowing the pace of the game. The Vertical Prison is probably my favorite puzzle in the entire Castlevania series. I'd strongly recommend Igarashi's team take the time to study these issues. Well that's all I have to say on this subject. What are your thoughts? It had always bothered me how I couldn't swim properly in SoTN and the Sorrow games.I have to admit that I have never played any of LoS games, but I had played other side scrolling games like Super Mario World where perfect swimming physics and mechanics were in place. It will be a great improvement to the Igavania series if proper water physics are implemented.

I love both the inverted Stained Glass castle and Reflected Castle idea!! Mashup, anyone? Bloodstained's castle and secret second castles will be very interesting, seeing as the Rouge-like Dungeon stretch goal is met. Oh, I certainly hope that Ben Judd, IGA, or other staff-member of the development team takes a look at this thread. I do want them to take the "Reflected Castle" idea into consideration, even though they're most likely not going to include it in the base game before it's first released. (Probably a better idea to wait until after the game is finished, and produce this new Castle as DLC) I love the DLC idea! It will give the dev. team more time to create new content for the new castle map and maybe even new BGM for it, also new areas for the boss only parts of the castle for Boss Revenge mode. I personally would love to see about 1/3 of the total 1600 rooms as boss only areas. So maybe 533 + 1600 rooms on Boss Revenge..? This also leads to another question... would Rogue-like dungeons be applied for Boss Revenge?

While it is a little disheartening to see Operation Akumajo shifting gears, but I am sure cecil has his reasons, and I support it. With Konami in such a chaotic state, it is really difficult to say what will happen to Castlevania as an IP. Right now, we have a game that is completely envisioned by IGA himself and is being developed by a trusted group of people, so I would understand that it is a better option to highlight and support this alternative.

I honestly would love a second castle. 1. It's not exactly like SOTN because it's a different castle. 2. It extends the playtime by a lot since it's the whole castle. 3. Different enemies usually inhabit it which up the difficulty and different bosses. 4. It's fun seeing the layout in reverse. We've had many extra locations post game since SOTN but we've n ever had a return of the inverse castle. I think it'd be great for a comeback. However, maybe they can somehow make it their own? An inverted Stained glass version of it? Something unique to set it apart.They could even try just an Upside-Down Castle (just flipped vertically; not upside-down and backwards, like SotN's Inverted Castle) with very different designs and aesthetic feels to each new section of it. ^ Though I'd rather the possible 2nd Castle still be right-side up in terms of layout. I'm still personally a fan of the idea of the 2nd Castle being the "reflection" seen in the body of water in this concept art image: Gebel's Castle ConceptI love both the inverted Stained Glass castle and Reflected Castle idea!! Mashup, anyone? Bloodstained's castle and secret second castles will be very interesting, seeing as the Rouge-like Dungeon stretch goal is met.

Granted, but you can't control your newfound power and it runs wild. Without proper control and spacial recognition, you materialize things inside your own body and die from horrible, horrible wounds. I wish I could communicate with animals. Edit: Nevermind, doing Eri's instead. (I'll assume that was "debt" free) Granted, you are now debt free but have not a single coin left and no home. I wish I could communicate with animals. Yes, I meant "debt". Can't spell. orz jim: I wish magic was real and controllable by written words in latin. Wish granted! But it is only limited to two mundane spells. EDIT: Beaten by Arcueid Brunestud, again!! Leon I wish ninjas would stop existing. ^ Wish granted, now they are all replaced by assassins. I wish I could own a castle.

Granted, nothingness comes and consumes you. I wish for my wish to not be corrupted. Granted, but everything else is now corrupted
I wish I could materialize things with my imagination
Granted, but you could only materialize them in the microscopic level, so everything is tiny! I wish I am dept free.

Granted, you do and he kills you because he's under evil influences. The meeting lasted a heartbeat. I wish I had a cool looking armor to wear for everyday use. Granted!! You're now a social outcast. I wish I won the lottery. EDIT Arcueid Brunestud beat to me that! So I am granting his wish instead: You can time travel, but now you're stuck in the stone age with no technology. I wish I won the lottery.

Granted, but now you're stuck in an endless loop of Omnia Vanitas, never again will you be able to interact with anything and you'll be shouting "Omnia-Om-Nom-Omni-Omnia Vanitas!!#@$" until you perish. I wish for the ability to shapeshift. Wish granted, you have can only shapeshift for 1 second. I wish I could meet Soma Cruz and Alucard in real life!

Yeah, but Iga denies any relationship between Miriam and Shanoa. They're both similar because they're both strong female protagonists. Check one of the early posts where I posted a pic with Iga being interviewed about this. People just couldn't help but notice the similarities between the two characters though. For some reason IGA's vision of Miriam fell under the Shanoa category, even though they have different motivations. But, we will see once the game comes out, maybe they will be completely different characters in regards to personality and everything else!

None. I live in Canada, which is devoid of any castles, and I've never been able to go on a vacation.... Someone hold me! *runs away sobbing* Hotel MacDonald in Edmonton, Alberta is pretty close to being a castle.

When I saw Miriam, I immediately thought "Shanoa, is that you!?" To be honest, Bloodstained feels like a reinvention of Order of Ecclesia. Though it would be cool if Miriam and Shanoa are sisters in some weird twisted dimension where Bloodstained and Castlevania meets. Maybe IGA was thinking about making a Castlevania which the female lead would be related to Shanoa and he reused the idea in Bloodstained. That would be a Castlevania that I want to play! It will make for a great concept, too, because the world of Ecclesia hasn't been explored enough. The Belmonts/Alucard had tons of exposure, while Soma had two games of his own. It would be awesome if we could learn a little more about the time and place where Shanoa is from.

Where's the "Gebel" option? I STILL want Gebel to be one of the playable main three. Well, with the Boss Revenge mode stretch goal met on Kickstarter, I would Gebel would imagine become playable either way (or I am just being hopeful). As for the actual third playable character, I would love a hot blooded, nekketsu, young man/woman to take that role, just to balance out the obviously brooding Miriam and soft spoken Johannes. The cast needs some fire and energy!!

I personaly havnt played castlevania: Order of Ecclesia but in letsplay and wiki's I saw alot of similarities between these two heroins. I wonder anyone noticed (unless its been mentionend before then i do aplogize ) Shanoa is able to absorb Glyphs using the large rune on her back, which provide her with magical weapon abilities. Although she is often seen wielding an ethereal crimson-colored rapier, Shanoa can use any other weapons granted by her glyphs. Miriam Instead summons/use dark magic wich stains her skin with rose petals, but she also has runes on her body. the aura and petals also comes out from her back. Miriam also posses magical weapons and abilities, altho miriam uses swords like Shanoa, shanoa doesnt seem to use whips at all. There both dark haired.
There both emotioneless in terms of the drawings, im not sure if there personalities match since the game isnt even out yet.
The story seems to be somewhat the same yet in a difrent twist. I hope the story will be more complex an full of weird twist and suprises.

It came with the bluray hybrid pack for the .hack//sekai no mukou ni movie. I don't think it's sold seperately. Try ebay? It's around $50-$60 over there. Hey! Thanks so much for the tip! Snagged a copy off Ebay for a good price!! Excited for more Haseo action!!
