How is Shanoa more generic than Simon Belmont? Trevor? Richter? Juste? Julius? Leon? Or any of the other incredibly clich

"The first female protagonist in the series isn't bringing in anything new! They should have used the same characters they've used every time before!"

You high or somethin'?  You are entitled to your opinion but mentionin somethin that is not true is another. 

Other than what was mentioned on this forum, Shanoa is anything but generic!!  Tell me another person in the CV game who's MP gets drained whenever she/he does a normal weapon attack? 

Also, the story is something that is different when the previous titles have been somethin like "Main character's gf is kidnapped by Dracula, resulting in him going to drac's castle.

*Spoiler*
Surely a plot involving a hot soceress whose "sibling" went out to make himself a badguy so he can save her life is not new?  IT is better than havin the rival character being under the infulence of Drac.

Even his relationship to Shaona is different as oppose to any cliche storylines out there.

*end spoilers*

Hell, neither characters use a whip or the cross and some of the things they do use are things we haven't seen in Castlevania before.

from playing the game it felt like a female soma, replace word glyph with soul, and add a castlevania 2 type world, but it was an ok game overall tho, and it was fine to see new dialog from drac interacting with a female for once

I found the way Dracula proprositioned her amusing, it was like it was normal to him to have strange women fight their way through the castle for him.

The glyph system is barely anything like the soul system at all.

LMFAO, I loved that. When she loses, they should have shown him biting her and her turning into a vamp.

God Erimo that was an amazing post, I have to praise you just for that. Shanoa was a fine character, did I wish she had more emotion maybe, but that smiling with tears would of been useless without her not having any.

Holy Cross is best Item Crash.

Seriously though, Shanoa has been one of the most fun Castlevania characters to come along in awhile....

she still added more than say, charlotte. :o

 I so agree. Shanoa is quite possibly my favorite video game heroine. She's a girl who can kick butt in her own right, not be a totally useless sidekick like Charlotte.
