Title: The Demon Castle Wars...
Post by: K.G. Morder on June 16, 2011, 07:41:50 AM
Ive recently been thinking. Wouldnt it just sound weird to just call the game "the demon castle wars"? It completely breaks with CV naming tradition, especially the kind that came about with Rondo. where CV games get these "poetic" sounding names like Symphony of the night/Nocturne in the moonlight, or Aria of Sorrow/Minuet of Dawn.

If a Julius game were to be released, You cant just name it after the event! Thats too simple! What "Castlevania" subtitle would you give it?

personally, I think something that would indicate how this is the peak. the final battle. maybe a name involving Eclipse, Black/Red moon, or some such thing.

hmm. "Eclipse of the Red Moon?"

Discuss.

Eclipse of the Red Moon is rather redundant.

How about like... Finale of the Red Moon? Or something with "Finale" in it. It is a musical term, works rather well in my opinion.

Aria of sorrow, dawn of sorrow, finale of sorrow? I'm all for using sorrow in the title again

Finale of the Red moon sounds good to me.

Assuming they want to go with the Sorrow naming scheme...

Eclipse of Sorrow?

Post by: darkwzrd4 on June 16, 2011, 08:54:33 AM
A while ago on this forum, I came up with the title Overture of Destruction and a lot of people liked it for the 1999 game.  Makes sense seeing how it's a war and Dracula is suppose to be at his all time most powerful.

Toccata of the Eclipse?

Overture
I considered Overture, but overture is a musical term referring to an opening. It is french for "opening".

Well, in all fairness, it's the beginning of the whole story about Julius if you count the Sorrow games.

I actually like and prefer the name Demon Caslte Wars battle of 1999.

But If I had to give It a "poetic" type of name mine would be Eclipse of the Dawn or something like that.

As long as it involves Eclipse in the name somehow.

I still think that "Finale" should be used in some way, since it signifies the end of ol' Draccy.

I don't think we should use "Sorrow" again, since the Sorrow series revolved around Soma. Julius would probably have to get his own little subtitle ending.

Finale of the Red Moon? (like listed)
Finale of Sin?
Finale of Heresy?

Or good ol' Demon Castle Wars would work.

Or how about The Belmont Legacy? :P

Coda (Italian for "tail", plural code) is a term used in music in a number of different senses, primarily to designate a passage that brings a piece (or one movement thereof) to a conclusion.

Coda of the Eclipse...
Coda of the Bloody Moon...
Coda of the Devil's Reign...
Coda of the Dawn...

...the possibilities are suddenly endless.

Crisis...you really going through with that collection-smashing thing? That would sadden me. :'( (btw, what made you think of it, anyhow?)

I`d like the word ″sorrow″ in the title, not ″war.″ As it would be the first game of the sorrow trilogy, I`d suggest Overture of sorrow.

Also, with the musical terms: Rhapsody of sorrow or Waltz of sorrow.

I hope it would be a 2D game. That is the only Castlevania I want to play. Can`t Konami bring IGA, Ayami Kojima and Michiru Yamane, our great trio back together to go out with a bang? A game that brings Dracula to this huge endpoint, that has played out in the timeline and has been playing out in our imagination for many years. We deserve it. Dracula deserves it. The solar eclipse is waiting!!!!
Title: Re: The Demon Castle Wars...
Post by: K.G. Morder on June 17, 2011, 10:53:32 AM
Dunno. While including Sorrow in the title is a neat way to "prequel" the sorrow series, I still feel it should be an original title not dependent on "sorrow"

Also, Already suggested Overture of Sorrow

New ideas..

Castlevania: Eclipse of the sun
Castlevania: Darkening of the sun
Castlevania: Dawn of the black sun
Castlevania: Beginning of the end
Castlevania: The last tear of blood
Castlevania: Crescendo of prophecy

I still like the previous ideas and will put them here again with the word CV to see how it looks like all together...drool..
Castlevania: Overture of sorrow
Castlevania: Rhapsody of sorrow
Castlevania: Waltz of sorrow
Title: Re: The Demon Castle Wars...
Post by: X on June 17, 2011, 11:29:55 AM
Personally the "Sorrow" terminology fits in well with the Soma games, but Soma isn't in the 1999 battle. The title should properly reflect the game its adhered to. The 1999 game is about the demon castle war. It's war. The title should be catchy, fast-paced and expressive. "Sorrow" more 'n less doesn't express war in general, but the war's aftermath which is what the Soma games were about.

Hmm... Castlevania: Red Millennium?
           
Title: Re: The Demon Castle Wars...
Post by: K.G. Morder on June 17, 2011, 05:05:54 PM

I feel that's too short.

Simon's quest and Dracula's curse were also short titles but they expressed what the games were about. It doesn't need to be long in order to fit the criteria. It just needs to work.

If this game is a Metrovania, it would be pretty cool if it played similarly to Circle of the moon where you have limited resources and no access to shops. Either that or a new level by level game like CV1, 3, 4, and DX.

Dracula 1999 A.D

Completely off-topic, but you just reminded me of the Hammer film, Dracula A.D. 1972.  Very cheesy (dreadful, really) but still worth a watch.  Even featured a character called Johnny Alucard.
