What Castlevania parts do you want in Bloodstained?

i'm not a huge fan of OOE, in particular i'm not a fan of the hub type location system I like a fully giant explorable location that is thought out over that. Having said that, I loved the new enemy sprites and the little nuances with the weapons and spells. They did better with that game in that regard than the other DS games.

1.A complete different gameplay experience among the 3 playable characters like Alucard and Richer in SotN,Hector and Trevor in CoD etc..but the need the same equipment slots and the same amount of skills and possibilites for some kind of balancing.
2.No equipment drops, only crafting with dropped mats like in CoD. Characters not able to craft should use an NPC for it.
3.A Familiar System similar to CoD, sure it has to be something new and not the same but leveling familiars, evolving them to different beings of the same type with abilities like deciphering ancient texts for opening secret paths,glide and longglide to places cannot reach normally etc. would be damn nice. And for Familiars to create new generations (offspring) via leveling with slightly better stats than the generation before.

The need of perfection every player has and the need of getting all types in all forms AND as strong as possible generations deepens the gameplay experience a lot^^
Iga has shown a great familiar system in CoD, i don´t remember well but think my strongest guys were 14th generation before i couldn´t do the leveling anymore ant it took months..
I never really liked playing 3d action adventures but did it a lot in CoD because it was an Iga Masterpiece.
When Bloodstained has features like this paired with the atmospheric feeling of SotN and its golden 2d gameplay from that time in full HD it will be the best game ever!
But knowing Iga skills, i think it will be even better;)

I don´t remember well because SotN was many years ago, but i thing enemys dropped only one thing or not?
But when a Medusa Head drops "Eye of Petrification" and Gold its better than more in the loot-table, because you can use the "Eye" to craft the shield,a stoneresist ring/pendant/earring,multiple weapontypes or armor pieces, what makes the material more fitting different player-styles of gaming than some item they don´t need atm.

And its easier to complete your collection this way;)

That's my preference actually. I think the equipment drops should be the SPECIAL items. Think...Medusa shield or Valmanway ....Stuff that is cool to look at and use. So only special enemies get awesome equipment drops and the rest get normal crafting items and abilities.

That's the preferred way to do it for me. I like the idea of seeing a medusa head and thinking.... MAYBE I'LL GET AN ITEM RELATED TO IT!

damn JeffCross
That will be cool
I like that idea, it gives the feel of collecting worth the time to decorate the room

Ah^^ You think of some enemy related ultra-rare drop thats not even craftable;)
Nice Idea that deepens the gameplay even more^^

All

I want bloodstained to be a lot like a castlevania, I want them to share the atmosphere, music and characters style, of course I want Bloodstained to add new things to the formula but I basically want a new Igavania in the same line as the previous ones.

Id love to see some classic 8 but style platforming. Spikes, guillotines and what not.
