Watched the rest of the game on yt. The plot twist was obvious but cool, the ending on the other hand was very disappointing after so much build-up
they didn't even bother giving drac a new model/artwork for 1476, trevor didn't do anything, no death rematch, soma was useless because he was purified way too late in the game, hermina randomly being a lecarde descendant, etc
There are quite a few things I didn't understand but overall this was an ok script for Castlevania standards.
Gotta say the character personalities could use some tweaks. Richter, Simon and Trevor being the holy trinity of boring, Jonathan being more clever than half the cast, the female characters a bit insufferable imo except small maria and hermina.
I am just grateful we managed to see the end of the story tbh. This game was mostly an easter egg collection and felt like an attempt to test the waters for future games set in the original continuity. I think they wanted to demonstrate their familiarity with Castlevania lore before committing to a completely new story. And I can sense a vague desire to dabble with the Demon Castle War events, even though gameplay-wise THIS IS NOT the way to do it and I truly hope they'll keep their hands off 1999 for at least another game after GoS.
