and even Chronicles to an extent.
I always looked at the
Chronicles design like it was a bridge between the bishonen pretty boys (like Alucard and Soma) and the barbaric Belmont Bros. (like Simon and Trevor). Kinda similar to how I looked at Count Dracula in
PoR, combining the looks of the classic "I VANT TO SUK YUR BLUD" slicked-back hair vampires with the regal bishonen vampires that
Symphony of the Night had.
And in any case,
Mirror of Fate Simon rivals the
Chronicles design for my favorite look of Simon.
P.S.: And according to Simon's
Judgment character (and his description in the manual), Simon got the canon personality of a brute. Brash and reckless, preferring to run in and fuck up some dark beings rather than staying back and surveying the scene and planning how to strike.
