Wait. What if Gravity could be an element like fire, holy, whatever. I really like the idea of flinging gravity bombs on enemies.
Or better yet, an utility move. Can you imagine all the different exploration capabilities if we have even limited control over gravity.

I'm SO getting this one. Not because its great (because it is great), but because if this is a success, there MUST be a Bloodborne on the pipes too, and I want that even MORE. I would die a happy man if we get a BB board game. Hell it could be about the Fall of Old Yharnam or When Gherman was on Active duty.

Kinda makes you wonder how many more easter eggs remain hidden even after all these years

I can't wait to see things like being petrified return and how it looks in a game like this. I think that's what is exciting to me also, graphics have advanced a lot in recent years, I can't wait to see how some of these things we are used to look now. Same! I'm also wondering how being "Cursed" could work in Bloodstained, assuming that it returns as a status ailment. Will Miriam struggle at swinging a weapon while being affected? Will she rapidly lose MP? (Will the wine-glass that she'd normally throw just shatter in her hand, perhaps?) What if it speeds up the Alchemy Curse she already has?

I have alternatives. BLIND : Reduces Sight radius. Like Near-sighted in Rogue Dungeon but black rather then blurry. CONFUSION : Mess with the controller input. Up becomes Left. Down becomes right. etc... INSANITY : Lose control of Miriam and she does random actions. I like these too ! Ennemies should have their part of challenge. This version of confusion exists in Final Fantasy Explorers on 3DS. When you are confused, moves are reversed : Up becomes down, down = up, left = right and right = left. I do like Insanity too ! We can also imagine heavy ground monsters that make... for instance, GRAVITY : Deny Miriam from jumping for X (5/10/15 ?) seconds, making some combos impossible (particulary air ones) while the monster casting this is rightly strong on the ground, using EARTH element. There is so much possibilities, actually. We can actually upgrade the Confusion effect. We could have the directional mapping rotate 90, 180 or 270 degrees. That randomness help with the confusion since, by definition, Miriam would be thinking anything but straight.

Nice list, I think it will make Bloodstained richer to have such elements and attributes in the game but IGA probably thought about that already. What about adding some FF-like effects too ? Like ( for instance) : BLIND : Reduce melee-type monsters' physical accuracy by 25/50/75% according to Miriam's (magic's) level (?). TROUBLE / CONFUSION : Reduce magic-type monsters' magical accuracy by 25/50/75%. FREEZE : 25/50/75% of chance to freeze lower monsters (aka weak monsters). If they are froze, 25/50/75% of chance to break them into ice shards (aka instant death but no reward / item drop ?). To say simply, I think every good / powerful effects should have a counter-part so the game doesn't get too easy with time. Players would have to take choices : Brutal tactic (heavy figthing, doing / taking many damage), Smart tactic (with debuffs, doing / taking less damage). Fast XP / less farm or More farm / less XP ? I'm also thinking about Pokémon elements' chart. Fire > Ice > Fire > Plants. Water > Fire > Zombies, etc. As long as it's logic. I mean, how can leaf and water could break stones ? I have alternatives. BLIND : Reduces Sight radius. Like Near-sighted in Rogue Dungeon but black rather then blurry. CONFUSION : Mess with the controller input. Up becomes Left. Down becomes right. etc... INSANITY : Lose control of Miriam and she does random actions.

Do you know the ironic part is about the SJWs? They are willing to go pitchforks and torches on companies over sex appeal yet are they doing the same thing to all the Rule 34 creators, posters and hosts?

This may sound odd but I like the idea of gravity based abilities and spells. Like a slowfall ability or maybe some kind of bomb that makes enemies in the air drop to the ground and deal damage based of distance.

You people just made me picture Miriam doing Street Fighter moves. Think we could gleam ideas from that?

Hahaha, well done. I think the twitter follow has to be mutual (which seems odd), unless if I'm showing up on your link list now. Yeah. I think it has to be mutual. I just added you to my Miitomo friend list. Here is mine BalancedHydra (Yeah Yeah. Laugh at my lack of originality.)

Lore-wise, I am very looking forward to this set. Vampires, Werefolks, angels, and so on mixed with some Lovecraftian insanity, corruption and seasoning and we have the ingredients for some very delicious storytelling. I can only hope that someday we will have Slivers vs Eldrazi. I don't care how it turns out in the end, I want to see/read the play by play.

30 years already? How time flies. Well. My first entry in the Castlevania Series was Dracula X on the SNES and I actually had a blast.I played the NES and CV4 and while I did see why the folks holds them dear, I was kinda meh. But then I got to play SOTN and I was seduced by the Dark Side and that was when I joined Iga's Army of the night. I got a confession. I never played the ps2 games and I went with the GBA and DS games.
With CV's 30 birthday coming, I am happy and sad at the same time. I'm happy this franchise latest this long but with Konami being... well... Konami, I'm sad that we may never get an official closure to the old timeline. A.k.a, the Demon Castle War/Battle of 1999.
Well. That enough negativity. Who wants pancakes and bacon?

If you think about it, doesn't the Eldrazi have some Lovecraftian/Great Old Ones undertones to them as well?
