CVIII didn't fix CVII, it just hopped on the CV1 design bandwagon, which isn't bad, but it's a waste that CVII format wasn't adopted as its own series. Like, Mario platformers and Mario party/kart games coexist with each other. a standard CV series, a Igavania series, and a CVII inspired open world CV series could all coexist, if Metal Gear wasn't eating up all the funds and staff (MGS in fact even terminated the Suikoden series).
but yea anyways, not sure about the netflix Castlevania TV series (or is it a movie?). some prefer if it went for a more Vampire Hunter D look and atmosphere, though who knows with the ones doing it.
but even if they did it right, Konami probably wouldn't care to make serious Castlevania games.
so the new TV series has one surviving Belmont. maybe it's Sonia Belmont? IGA is no longer with Konami, the netflix people could retcon the canon again just as IGA (and mercurysteam) did.
but art direction is key of course. but also scripting and all. well whoever the protagonist is, that very same series is probably going to have their love interest be involved, they gotta restore the Belmont clan and all.
well anyways Bloodstained's lore is sounding more interesting. does Miriam have a family name? maybe that's part of the plot surprises.
