I wouldn't mind seeing a father and son tag team with Trevor and Simon involved.  I hope they look and are tough SOB's.

Yep also she's the main composer to it and the soundtracks are nothing to Castlevania music

I disagree wholeheartedly. There were plenty of tracks she did that had a lot of Castlevania feel to them. She just counterbalanced them with some other stuff that was jazzy and upbeat. And, she only did a majority of the work on the soundtrack. Vincent Diamante did parts too, and his were jazz-based as well.

I did a review of the soundtrack, actually. Check it out and see what I mean. Yamane has a distinct style of music that you can still hear even in non-Castlevania games.

Honestly, Cox and Arajou need to look at what Yamane did with Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness, to get a good feel of how moody, ambient Castlevania music can be used effectively to be both background noise AND memorable at the same time, and how to apply that to their games for the future. (including LoS2 and Mirror)

Simon sounds like he's a hot headed barbarian with a manly beard, and Trevor is a warrior donning the Order's armor with a crazy looking shoulder piece and ragged cloak over him. They sound pretty manly and very much like the original Belmonts to me.

I think Alucard will serve more as a mentor/supporting character if he's not playable.

What I want to know is how Alucard is even in this timeline, Alucard is the literal son of Dracula in lore. Did Gabula get with someone else? I can see Trevor being born prior to LoS, though. That would also make the Belmonts bastard children of the Cronqvists.

In the original Timeline, Dracula was already a vampire when he had Alucard, right?

That's what I want to see in this new one (hopefully).  That would imprint a great castlevania feel into the game. (For me atleast)

Hell ya!!! But in a more serious sense I would like to fight him in a new cv game even if it was just a training exercise.

Also I think a nice easter egg would be that the songs that will be in the game can be coverted into a 8-bit or 16-bit music mode. Come on who does not want to hear a 8-bit Belmont's theme? I know I do   :)

I believe so. Lisa was human, and Dracula was a vampire.

I love Simon and Trevor but both of them in one game seems redundant.

I didn't expect two Belmonts in one game, I figured Simon would be in the console sequel. I'm wondering what gameplay differences they'll both have.

Yeah. I'd prefer Trevor in the first game and Simon in the second. And I can't say that I'm happy about the rumor of them being father and son. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
