Don't want to crash the party but

(click to show/hide)

Sypha is killed by Gabriel a short while after.

On another note, the lips things really doesn't bother me. I like the "comic-book"/"cel-shading" style they went for.

The hell... Why DID I click on that... why?

Disappointment ...

I don't recall it ever confirmed that Carmilla was a Cronqvist, but I've always thought the idea was interesting...

The Japanese version expands on her character by making her as a Cronqvist in her character profile.

[Maedhros]

It's hard for me to explain, but the quality of the game from the trailers or screenshot are not as good as compared to when you acually play it, that's what I hear anyway. On the other hand the backgrounds are some of, if not the best on the 3ds.

So detailed 

That's because the 3DS resolution is so low and the screen is really tiny. It makes the game look better when played on the actual hardware.

But even If I ignore the graphics (which is hard for me to do on 3D games)... I still have lots of problems with this game... Well, the 3DS is really cheap these days... maybe I'll get it just for the sake of completion...

And I was expecting some gameplay. 

If they had problems with the lip sync, why didn't they make all the characters mute psychics? Problem solved!

I also like the comic book style of the cutscenes. Very stylish.

hohoho i wonder how many outdated monty python references this game will have

But is this legit official "universal" canon that Konami of Europe also plans on using, or Japan's version of the Poltergeist King?

[Nagumo]

I really wonder what's up with those Japs randomly giving Carmilla the surname Cronqvist. The weird part is, is that this stuff almost never happens in English games that get localized in Japanese (as far as I know at least). It's way more more common the other way around. And I thought they stopped doing that since the 90's...

HOHOHO Soleiyu Belmont

He was around 15 or 16 in the game. Not a child.

[crisis]

HOHOHO 15/16 can still be considered a youth/underage/child, buddy

Ever hear an older adult call a 16 or 17y/o a "kid?" because they still are, in most cases. hell it can even go up to 20-22

besides he's still seen as even younger in The Belmont Legacy comic, so my point still stands

It's all out in the open as part of Simon's official published backstory on the MoF website, just referenced in different words.

Not surprising, SOMETHING had to happen for Simon to end up in the care of random mountain people.

It makes absolute sense also I kind of  forgot what happened to him afterwards , but...


Darth Vader NO!

This is true, but couldn't it be argued that due to the gap the game had between it's English and Japanese releases that maybe they wanted to expand on some things? This is sort of the norm with some games in the localization process where some versions get extra bug fixes or extra things.

My point still stands - Soleyu wasn't depicted in the game as little kid, hence no child Belmont up until MOF.
