(how do you replicate a Castle which changes with every incarnation???)

You use the last incarnation as the basis for your magic-made castle. Of course you are free to add/subtract things as much as you want.

Since Celia, Dario and Dmitri weren't in AOS, do we then assume their Castle is based on the one from 1999?

Although AOS is supposedly the same Castle from 1999 (though it would have changed) which I find ironic because generally the Castle collapses when Dracula is defeated. Julius, however specifically stated he left the VK in the Castle to weaken it. This implies that even though Dracula was completely destroyed, Julius suspected there was a chance that Dracula could return. Or did the Castle simply not collapse because it was sealed inside the eclipse...

According to what I've read about DoS' castle it was built as an amusement park. When the park failed to draw in revenue it was shut down. Later on is when Celia and her cult moved in and took over the place. The castle was built with the purpose of old fashioned horror theme in mind, but those of the 2030's generation weren't very interested in such a prospect.

@beingthehero

u need more sexual innuendo in your posts. why do u have that award if u dont use it

Tittyboner. There.

According to what I've read about DoS' castle it was built as an amusement park.

Wait, what? Was this from that Japanese-only Sorrow book? I always thought the castle was a deliberate mock-up of the real Castlevania, as it sits upon the ruins of drac's old castle.

Maybe because the context of being in the eclipse is between both the physical and astral realms or whatnot. As opposed to being in the same place in the physical world where its physical state is limited to the energy of the Lord of the Castle.. I dunno , something to think about

I don't remember the PAL version saying it was built on the ruins of Castlevania. It was simply described as "A Towering replica of Dracula's Castle"
Also AOS' prologue (before Soma wakes up) takes place in Japan, and I'd assume DOS does also.

Although I had the guide and magazine interview of Japan, there was no such talk.

IGA said the castle of Seria as "the modern architecture which imitated the Dracula's castle."
I'm on hiatus now.

Silenced Ruins, remember?

But where is the proof it's actually the original CV's ruins? And if it were the ruins, why is it still intact? Doesn't really make sense. I don't think it's evidence enough, particularly when the Sorrow series is technically set in Japan. In DOS they're not in the eclipse anymore.

Game does nothing to establish that though.
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

That was part of the amusement park set up along with the castle. Old abandoned, medieval European towns were featured in a lot of classic horror flicks.
