Features you'd love to appear (Submitted)

"1. Visual changes to character when equipping certain items. ( armor..)" is something I would also love.
"5. A secret castle of some sort ( like the inverted)" would be awesome
"7. Different animations with certain swords." I would be disappointed if this wasn't in the game.

A. Maybe a storage system besides the one on Miriam? Like a chest or some sort of base area for Miriam where you could store extra stuff. (gotta collect all the weapons, am I right?)
B. Areas that are outside. Like a courtyard, garden, or a graveyard in the middle of the castle.
C. Rare enemies that have a very low chance of spawning, but high enough that every player should encounter them once a play through.
D. Rare items that a very hard to find/have a very, very low chance of dropping, meaning players might not find them if they only play through once or are hasty.
E. Some sort of underwater enemy/boss. (something that I would like personally)
F. Maybe books or something you could find in the castle that would give some sort of info on the enemies and their individual weaknesses.

I'm really hoping for a vast array of different weapon types.

Swords, Knives, Axes, Hammers, Staves, Polearms, whips, bludgeoning weapons, bows, crossbows, firearms (musket, flintlock, blunderbuss), and maybe even wands/rods.

I would like a feature where Miriam has her own room like how Iga wanted Alucard to have his own room. I suspect this will be in the game after watching the Double Fine Dev's Play YouTube video.

I'm simple, just give me a good game. That being said:

Iga vamp as the bonus KS edition boss to get the whipsword.
Armor based on the KS achievements (as a set it can Kickstart your stats)

I don't mean this in a "your wish is wrong" way, so don't take it like that, I just want to really specify what I like.

I frequently see people say how much they want a mirror castle or an inverse castle. When I played SOTN, I really was happy about the inverse castle because despite how far in the game I was, getting to the inverse castle basically meant "You still have more than half of the game to do, and the next half will be harder and more fun!"... That's about it for me. The whole being upside down thing wasn't really that cool to me, and re-using the same archetecture made the inverse castle lack some of the wonder of exploring it for the first time.

So basically, I want to NOT have an inverse/mirror castle, HOWEVER, I do NOT mean that in a way where the amount of castle to explore will be cut in half, I want this to be the biggest castle vania ever as promised without having to resort to a copy-paste-flip with the architecture (I realize that the monsters, treasure, decor, etc isn't copy paste, so don't mention it). I'd rather our biggest castlevania ever to be 100% new, not 50% new and then partially repeated. I hope I'm articulating well here.

Of course, it being bigger than any other castlevania by 25% or whatever and THEN flipped for another 125% making it 250% would be best! buuut, I wont get my hopes up lol.


My other wants:

1: Mod support on steam, if very hard isn't hard enough, making mods to make it harder would be cooler. Not to mention mods to modify the equipment. I like it when games have a great variety of equipment, but alot of the time there is no real choice that doesn't make the player intentionally weaken themselves (which is perfectly ok, I do it myself too sometimes), but it would be nice if you could choose what you want to use endgame without feeling like you are intentionally imposing a handicap on yourself if you just so happen to get crisigram or whatever it's called (I actually never use it cuz it's way too op, but I find in general, the variety of weapons and armor is really kind of wasted, alot of the stuff you get late game is obviously inferior to stuff you can't help but get long before them.

Maybe even make crazy mods featuring like 3-4 bosses at once for each boss =P

2: Meaningful currency. I love shopping in real life, and in games. But in games shopping is generally pretty pointless beyond early game. Once you get that initial gear setup, you can generally afford anything new for sale as long as it's available without even trying to farm gold or whatever except for special items and bonus items and whatnot like music boxes or that 1 item that's 10 million gold, etc.

3: I should have put this first...but alot of the stuff I want seems to be in already, and I'm mentioning it just to show that I'm most certainly positive about this even if the rest of my wants look unreasonable. Stuff like being mostly gothic castle setting instead of that jungle mayan desert nonsense in LoS. Music made by Yamane instead of I don't know who but it sounds like lord of the rings, not effing castlevania...When I qq about this people tell me I don't like lord of the rings music? What's wrong with me?! Well, lord of the rings music is not bad, and it suits the movie...but it most certainly isn't effing legendary.. Castlevania music IS legendary, its peers are Zun and Falcom/Ys...AND THATS IT. Nothing else compares IMO. Etrian odyssey is almost there but not quite. Oh...and stained glass windows are awsome. Castlevania always had more than most games, but I don't think it was ever really a feature. It being so now, I'm really excited about that!

4: I think this will be the case, but I want the castle to be designed in a way where you have a great variety of options in terms of travel/explore path.

5: I mentioned this in KS, but the only response I got was kinda not really what I was talking about but whatever. I would like the leveling system to involve player choice. So that when you level up, you can choose to invest 2 points in strength and one in int.. or 3 points in luck, etc. I think many people don't appreciate this very much because they don't really care and they just wanna get on with the action. The reason why I like this because IMO it adds replay value.. play the game spending 90% of your level ups in one stat, then try another the next game, etc, what's not to like about THAT?

6: I want the hard difficulties to be really hard, and I'm not a dark souls machoman bandwagon jumper... don't get me wrong, I love dark souls, and demons' souls, and I really want a ps4 for bloodborne. My point is that I don't suddenly think hard is good because of dark souls (I don't even think it's that hard anyway, and I don't mean that in a I'm so good way, just that other games with less hype that can be harder isn't recognized as such just cuz less hype). HOWEVER, I don't want the hard to be almost exclusively due to instant death pits/spikes/traps/terrain/lava/whatever + medusa heads and crows (though I will accept that for classic mode). I want the enemies themselves to be the difficulty, WITHOUT using terrain and traps as a crutch for how easy they themselves really may be. I want hard mode enemies to be smart and deadly, like the enemies in fortune summoners... hopefully other people have played that. The game itself isn't THAT hard imo, but the fact is all the difficulty is that the enemies are trying to kill you.. like an actual player is playing them, and they are really TRYING to kill you AND survive, like its' a darn multiplayer fighting game... not just run towards you and have a 20% chance of swinging their weapon every 0.2 seconds or whatever.

7: Gebel is the villain right? I think, If I got it wrong and that's the other good guy, I mean the villain... In any case, I want the villain to be as memorable as dracula, which is a tall order. So far looking at his picture and his story, he just isn't up to snuff yet. I'm hoping that will be his early story, and he will grow into a real respectable villain by the end... I Also want a villainous side-kick that is actually competant, and not comical relief like death...and I want these to remain as respectable for many games to come.. which leads to:

8: I want this game to be as good as I would expect any castlevania that isn't named lords of shadow to be (I actually ADORE the 2 3d castlevania games on the PS2 too btw), and I want it to be a new Francaise with many games to come afterwards.

bonus, 9: Then konami trying to cash in and make more castlevania games that try to rip this one off after (but still be different enough to enjoy) with all the things I like and not the things some moron thinks we want again simultaneously for DOUBLE the castlevania production would be fantastic! >=)

I mostly wanted an online multiplayer mode similar to Harmony of Despair and the biggest possible castle. We already got biggest castle and the online challenge mode sounds pretty fun.

I'll be honest I don't know what I want lol.

1. Visual changes to character when equipping items.
2. Button input spells.
3. Transformations.
4. A secret castle.
5. Bestiary.
6. A spell Grimoire of some sort.
7. Item compendium.
8. Basically anything that reminds me of SotN.
Edit:
9. And most importantly I want cute female monsters. ex: Alura Une, Harpy, Medusa, Succubus, etc.

Totally agree with you. Change of appearance because of the equipped items should be optional in all games ever created.
