Topic: Money in The Dracula X Chronicles?

[Pentagram-cracker]

I'm very new to the Castlevania series, and I have The Dracula X Chronicles for PSP. Anyways in the Rondo of Blood remake I noticed you can find money bags by breaking candles, and in the menu screen where you do things like select your character and choose a stage there's a list for how much money you've earned. What is this used for? I know in Symphony of the Night there's a merchant you can buy weapons and items from, but I haven't seen any merchants in Rondo of Blood so I'm confused as to what the money in the game is used for.  

Thank you whoever answers my question.

no merchant in Rondo, but you can use the money to purchase boss strategy videos in the opening menu.

You can also buy more music tracks too.

I don't really see the point of purchasing the boss demos. I mean you don't unlock them untill after you beat the bosses, and once you do it should be pretty easy to figure out your own stradegy for defeating them. I guess it's good if you just like to see the boss fights replayed over and over without having to fight them. I purchased Carmilla's boss demo and it was kind of cool watching her over and over again, I think she's probably my favorite boss.

I've done it. if you have enough coinage saved up then you can use that lose change to unlock more music tracks.

I always thought the demos are made so that you can practice the pattern of each boss so you can have defeat them w/o any health lost.  It is probably for the hardcore CV fans that wants to pass the game w/o losing health

It should be in the main menu of the redesigned rondo game. It's been a while since I did it so I could be wrong.

I played through the game several times and never saw that option. Tbh I would rather have had to buy them than play through boss rush to get them.

I, too, have never heard of this process of using money to unlock music tracks.  I thought you needed to manually find where each song disc is hidden in-game.
