Topic: If you rewrote the CV story, what would you add or change?

[Omegasigma]

fixes : each game story wise would have more deph to their story to clear up plot holes and missing links. i'd restore the timeline to a pre-iga one and have it all worked outt o fit together without dropping any of my games.

[Donvermicelli]

I'd start filling up all timeline holes starting at the beginning working my way to the future. Then after the events of 1999 I'd place a game somewhere alter then DOS where soma is old and grey and somehow someone manages the completly resurrect Dracula. (I just think that it would be cool to have a real Dracula fight again)

[S10nett]

What about the Castle? Is Castlevania the same castle that was owned by Walter? Why is it that the castle can reanimate itself when Dracula does? Does it do it on its own or does Dracula do it?

And exactly how long has Castlevania been in existence if it pre-dates Walter? Who owned it before Bernhard?

I would love to see a game where they start to uncover secrets of the castle itself along with all the other stuff. That would be cool.

To re-write the CV story, I'd go back to 1993 and re-write history so IGA never had anything to do with the series. Then we'd still have masculine male leads rather then pansies, and would never suffer the blot of Metroid clones and cut and paste 3D dungeon crawlers he has ruined the series with.

As for the actual story, it all started to go wrong when Bloodlines tried to add in Bram Stoker (and failed) to what was previously the 'monster movie' version of the Dracula story. So I'd ditch Bloodlines. Should also probabaly ditch the awful LoI story that ruined the Belmont history.

You suck dude.

Well, actually I'm writing what I mentioned before.... like actually writing.... slow but meh..... I'm writing it. I'll post it up after I finish some parts of it and I'd like to see your comments.

As I said before, its about Sonia.

I guess you don't have a problem with Legends, then?

[Long John Silver]

Sure thing, but kick legends out too. If loi was a shitty way to start the series, legends is an abomination that needs to be put out of its misery. It's not a 'start of the belmont history' material at all.

I would...

-Make Curse of Darkness a 2D game, because dammit, it should have been 2D
-Make Curse of Darkness a side-story game
-Remake Legends and the Christopher games, just for the hell of it (not un-retconning Legends, mind you, just making it a better game)
-Add a game for Soleil (and name it Legend of Dracula 3 in Japan)
-Not focus so much on the story, dammit

[Kale]

You know, half the thing you said had like nothing on story just on games >.>

[gamegrinder]

I think, regarding CoD, they SHOULD'VE made Trevor Mode about his perspective during the game(dual perspective), complete with unique story and unique bosses.

Also, I don't think Dracula SHOULD'VE been the last boss. Because Isaac was a sub-par choice for a vessel, Dracula's fight should've ended with the body giving out and Dracula being sent back to the Abyss. The final boss SHOULD'VE been "Dracula's Curse" made into an Innocent Devil. Hector should've used his Devil Forgemaster powers to pull together all the negative energy of the curse, and transform it into a physical monster(instead of something "harmless"). Then, the final battle would be Hector against the physical manifestation of the Curse. That, IMO, would've been more tied to the actual theme of both the "Curse of Darkness" AND the whole "Devil Forging" idea.

That actually sounds pretty cool, I never thought of it like that.

I'd say pirates... but weve already got one don't we?

As for Curse fo Darkness. I actually didn't like teh game's idea much. The whole Devil forger thing seems so stupid especially when they are never ever brought back at all. Not even a mention or anything in the games before or after it. Not to mention the fact that Dracula's own minion owned him so  badly that he'll have to limp for a century or two. The two Devil forgers were so over powering, atleast thats how game made them.

EDIT: And I shuold say, I hate how Devil Forger was implemented, the actual idea .... wasn't too bad, it can be worked with...maybe.

And that pirate would be...who, exactly?  I know you're not talking about Grant, because Grant wasn't a pirate.  Ever.  In any continuity.  And to refer to Grant as such would only reveal your ignorance of Castlevania and its history.
