Character you want the most for extra character?

Zangetsu and his nice boat is a given. Alfred, maybe, for those “bad end” feels.

Dominique might be nice, but i’m not sure how she would get her on story, unless Miriam were to just, “lol, no” at Gebel’s dare.

Dominique

this would also be a good poll

or I could merge it with the old one(s)

My bad . Seriously though, how do you balance his gameplay epecially considering his less than superb acrobatic, and earlier in game lacking the abilities to cast barrage of spells without worrying about mp? Though his soul gives Zengetsu double jump I doubt he can do so himself (intangibility to bypass attacks some form of wind magic or teleportation to move around on the other hand which can also be part of his attack?). His standard attack would still be the staff which the club class is not the best in the demo. Flameshield will be incredible helpful (stone circle trivalize so many bosses in Portrait of Ruin, and you are invincible against Medusa head since they get one shotted, but getting in close range is a bad thing), the clone needs to do more than mimicing his staff smach, ice spear could work but only if IGA and team bother to implement it in ROTN which we know petrified enemies dies quick possibly to save system resource, and and a whole new range of spells that only Alfred knows. We might need further cover too in additional to the fanfictional intangibility, which the current familiar system might not be sufficient since we know none of the familiars in Castlevania attract attention or are capable of shielding you.

Zangetsu, Gebel, for sure. Gebel was my go-to character in Curse of the Moon and he's the GOAT.

I don't care if Alfred or Dominique make it; I don't care much for those characters. Johannes would be kind of cool using alchemy to "install" and power up his whip attacks, but that's stuff off the top of my head.

I peronsally think it will be Dominique and Zangetsu, but I'm more excited to play Dominique as sub character with some ability to throw or create weapons on the fly to attack with them as projectile? I don't know I just want to play her haha. Zangetsu is a given at this point and we already know how he's going to be like in regards of his fighting style and attacks

Personally, my first choice is none other than Alfred.

My justification? This thread I created back then.
