Topic: "The Dragon Returns" - Castlevania Lords of Shadow Sequel (HERE BE SPOILER INFO)

[Flame]

It's really a terrible movie. People that find it good are actually pretty rare.

Well I like it. :<

Not really a surprise or anything very interesting, but Cox confirmed that the second tomb seen in the trailer is Laura's (the other one being Marie's).

b-but Laura's body disintegrated in Gabriel's arms once he finished draining her of her blood


logic in castlevania

Yeah. Must be more of a mausoleum/symbolic place than an actual tomb.

[uzo]

So much for the telepath girl he murdered.

I didn't realize he gave that much of a shit over Laura instead of the sole surviving girl of an ancient civilization he murdered in his sleep, who helped him traverse the ancient ruins of her civilization and defeat the monsters there, Including a gigantic stone golem.  Laura DID try to kill him initially after all...

I mean I know he was hung up over Laura being a real old Vampire and yet only a little girl, and how laura seemed affected by Gabriel's displays of affection towards Marie's ghost, but really? enough to give her a memorial tomb?

Then again, whatever... I suppose his mind IS on a completely different page now that he's a vampire...

[crisis]

nah it's just cox/alvarez being dumb


besides Gabriel already gave Claudia a burial spot/tomb, if anyone remembers

[A-Yty]

He's still kind of a dick

Laura was a monster who wanted and deserved to die. The least he could have done for Claudia was keep a remainder of her in his castle to nev4r forget.

[crisis]

that's cuz gabriel be like

long hair

don't care

[flyingchai]

I think the whole disintigration thing was just an artistic choice to get Laura's dead body off the screen, just like all the enemies magically disappear after being killed.

I haven't been keeping up with this topic much, so this may have already been mentioned, but I was playing SCV4 a few weeks ago and the music that plays during the fight with Dracula reminded me very much of the music in the LoS2 trailer. Granted, the similarities are loose (just like "The Waterfall" and "Waterfalls of Agartha") but I didn't have to strain to hear them like I do in the LoS tracks that claim to have been inspired by music from previous CV games.

Now you're saying it, that's true they bear some similarities.

Tombs could be created and tributed to dead people, even if there is no body.
Simple logic.

There is no "logic" when it comes to Castlevania.

Like most Vampires, Laura got reduced into ashes and he placed them in the tomb, because having a Pot for ashes wouldn't be fitting for once a Christian man or Traditional vampire burial. Claudia was a side journey for Gabriel, he regrets everything that happened there. She was the first person to break his humanity on purpose if not counting the Brotherhood's conspiracy upon Gabriel. Why didn't she tell him about the vision? Some things could've been prevented and he already did a burial for Claudia in a lot of sorrow. First his wife got murdered just couple days ago and now he questions whether he was the one who killed Claudia or not and he probably blamed himself for the death of both Claudia and Black Knight. He buried her right after the battle, that's just grieving for sadness if you think about it. Laura in the other hand seemed like an evil child but Gabriel was probably surprised when she spared him after electrocuting him. Vampires are evil right? Why the mercy? That is pretty much a philosophy changer. After Marie goes into heaven, Claudia pops out, walking with a rhythm giving facial expressions like, "Gotcha, Biatch!" After his failed attempt to bring back Marie, Laura asks him for aid and explains now uncaring, stubborn Gabriel about the aftermath of destroyin the LoS, and she sympathizes and becomes personal when she is talking about Gabriel's current feelings. She even insults Gabriel when he decided not to care for the world and then there is a 300 year old vampire who's humanity was stripped a long time ago and now is an evil darkling talking about "gotta save the world". After that, Laura offers herself to her death so Gabriel can complete his mission... Laura was not hiding anything away from Gabriel unlike Claudia. Laura's role had greater significance than they did to Claudia. A lonely survivor with her Guardian as companion over an evil being that sacrifices herself so humanity can live to see another...
