I think it may be more likely that Bloodstained will contain references to the Metroid series (aside from being part of a genre of games influenced by Metroid). Except that if you remember, Iga said the idea for SotN was inspired by Zelda not Metroid. Go watch the "Devs Play" Special - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Iga specifially says so. Given that, I would expect LoZ references before I would expect Metroid references. |

It's not my prime concern, though. It would still be funny to see a few references here and there to TES. So long as Bloodstained will be another excellent Igavania title, perhaps surpassing SotN and others, I'll be most satisfied.  Gotta say, though...RPG elements in a non-linear exploration focused series of games is kinda what the TES series has. (Edit): I think it may be more likely that Bloodstained will contain references to the Metroid series (aside from being part of a genre of games influenced by Metroid). I still want my JoJo and Steven Universe references. Mostly in the weapons department. Laser Light Cannon spell? |

Laser Light Cannon spell? Amethyst's Whip  Rose's Sword  Anubis from JoJo  Are my personal picks. I wish I could guarantee at least one weapon looking like one of those appearing in the game.  |

Crystals play a big part in the design of enemies, whips will be involved, weapons use materials from enemies... it doesn't seem too out there.

Well, both LoZ & Metroid are similar in the respect that you'd need to find several key items in order to further explore the open non-linear world. |

Or Skeleton Beam. Or Legion Laser. Or Gergoth Laser. But hey, Laser Light Cannon also involves the shape of a rose. Stained glass imagery and rose symbolism both seem to be a thing for Miriam's character. EDIT: And we've already established that SOMEBODY likes putting JoJo references into Castlevania games (Stone Mask and Zephyr), so a katana-type weapon that looks like Anubis isn't out of the question either. |

Well, both LoZ & Metroid are similar in the respect that you'd need to find several key items in order to further explore the open non-linear world. Actually if you were to "merge" Castlevania 2 with Rondo Of Blood, and then "merge" that with LoZ 2: Link's Adventure that would pretty much yield SotN. |

Still, when you're bored and trying to keep the game fresh because you don't really own many others, having the option to use them works in a pinch. I can't remember which Soma game it was, but I did an all-melee playthrough once. It was pretty fun. .... Might've been both of them, come to think of it. |

I just wish that the guns weren't kind of sort of completely useless. yup, if we're going to have guns we should have a badass gun... like a steampunk gun with alchemic mods or bullets. now that I think about it there should be a special bonus for finishing the game with just a gun (the prize could be mighty no9's blaster) |

I can definitely understand the concern about this being too easy with RPG elements, but that's what classic mode is for! A super ultra hardcore experience for undaunted! It's like biting into that hot, fresh pizza with an ice cold cola in the other hand; your game face is on- and nothing can stand in your way(๑و•̀ω•́)و

Yeah, Motoko's right--they added in classic mode specifically to appeal to folks who were worried about normal mode being too easy  |
