the original timeline, if you take judgment as canon for a moment, it would establish the original timeline went till the year 9999 at least, since gala wanted drac gone for good it seemed, anyways the reboot is growing on me and now I just hope its not the belmonts vs Satan, it has to be the belmonts VS dracula
as long as MS doesnt pull a dumb move and have Dracula Die at said time *cough 1999* the series doesnt have to limit itself to a certain time peroid, that was the original series downfall, that Dracula died in 1999, and since then, the series basicly went downhill, mind you IGA did do the best he could as the director for the series, but as some others have pointed out, He never really took risks, he stuck toa formula that eventually got old, I cant bad mouth him, the games were all good in their own ways
which is why when I started my own castlevania fan project, it was different compared to the usual series, it was kinda like CV64 and LoI/Cod hybred in mind, but with a linear plaforming in 3d in mind
