Features you'd love to appear (Submitted)

Man, I agree with almost everything you guys have said
I'll just add: A robust movement system. I want slide kick, dodge roll, jump kick, double jump, gravity boots(or something) etc.

I think the thing that annoys me the most from the old games is the slide movement has a huge delay at the end.

I feel like you should be able to jump out of it and do a jump kick or something, which will lead straight to another slide kick, and so on.

The ability to back dash, and to back dash cancel. Love doing that stuff, haha

I want to see weather effects outside when you look throught windows, and a lot of optional (useless) content, like tree branches bouncing outside, maybe hiting some windows, wind blowing randomly opening windows. Funny stuff like if weather effect is snow, and you are at a certain spot on the castle, you can see a Yeti walking outside... xD

Random stuff happening, i love it, gives life to the game. I want to enjoy just being able to admire the game background, hoping for beautiful designs. And if possible i would love to see more interaction with the background (not obvious), just for fun, like push a lever to something funny happen and that stuff, hoping for a ton of hidden actions hard to find.

Finally i would like to walk outside of the castle, but not far, i mean some place directly connected to the castle, leading to nearby structures that are part of the castle itself but not joint to it. Like you exit the castle, take a walk into a road with fences on each side (where lies a dense forest), at the end of the road you get to a gate that leads to a structure nearby, like a cemetery, small chapel, old ruins, greenhouse glass structure, etc.

All of that is actually pretty important. Atmosphere plays a huge role in most gaming experiences, the less immersed you are the less likely you are to care about what you're playing. Dynamic weather, shading, physical changes, they all sound super neat.  

i would have a big list but all the added goals put everything in the game i wanted except one last thing, If we get a 2nd game in the future let us pick one weapon to carry over to that game and make it a +1 weapon so say if we get 5 bloodstained games i could have a +5 weapon going forward.

I got number 7 before it came out (but I really wanted him to be a playable character too)
I am doing this to add more to my list.

8. a seamless castle (meaning, little to no loading between areas. this does not include portals or save points)
9. Shields please!!! (I want diffrent types some that are geared toward attack rather than defense)
10. strange weapons that have full attack function (UN-like curse of darkness)
11. different stances for different weapons and weapon combinations (like using a sword and knife as in the Parrying dagger technique)
12. npcs that you could interact with (this is not restricted to humans, but what about demons that just want to go back to the demon world) they could be the shops, blacksmith, etc...
13. monster compendium (that shows the monster in full 3d)
14. deep smiting mechanics


I know I want a lot but I know Iga will do his best to bring out a game that overflows with awesome

It would be cool to have an alchemy system that would allow you to create potions that enhance or alter the player.. There could be recipes hidden in the castle or dropped from enemies and the components could be gathered or purchased.

It would fit nicely into the story and be a perfect way to add player directed customization to the gameplay. You want to be tsnkier? Make stamina and defense portions. You want to be a ninja? Make stealth and crit potions etc.

That's very nice. Maybe something like visions from the past or dreams (like Succubus from SotN)?
