Title: Castlevania 2, was almost everyone already dead?
Post by: KaZudra on July 30, 2018, 03:08:08 PM
Something I've been thinking about, The Poltergeist King trades sub-weapons for hearts.
What if... everyone you pay hearts to is already dead? It actually makes more sense given that mostly everyone is speaking in cryptic rambling.

well uh that would kinda turn the Castlevania lore on its head

I thought the hearts currency stuff is really just a game mechanic sort of thing, not really intended to be some deep thing.

you know its odd that hearts are needed to even use subweapons in the games, and Castlevania doesnt really explain what hearts really are.   it always treated itself as a game not to be taken too seriously pretty much.

though yea it can be interpreted in different ways.  but I say the townspeople are alive and are what all thats left of humans in that land.

I say all the merchants are undead.

That must be why they're all cloaked figures.

They trade hearts in an unholy attempt to regain their own.

Reminds me of Kingdom Hearts.
