There is something we must to know. Perhaps, we care for the timeline more than IGA does, or even KOnami Japan, and it's really screwed up, even Cox said that

Castlevania timeline is so intricated that not even fans understand it
So, until a story-caring producer comes to castlevania japan, who cares?  :P

Actually.....

The rule is stupid clearly stupid, but more stupid are the circumstances surrounding every Dracula's resurrection. God bless the reboot  :P

However, I would like to have a reboot with the old characters (Simon, Trevor ,Richter, Alucard...)

Since you stated your opinion then you must care somewhat or else you would not have stated it in the first place.  ;)

I'm not talkingabout your posts xD, they were very good, I kind of tried to be on topic, saying that it is our own problem to be troubled with the storyline, I am, a lot, that is perhaps the source of my despite to IGA, his games had everything, good gameplay, excellent atmosphere, and in the end, good intentions, but when he says

I first imagine a new kind of gameplay and then I make the storyline
it seems that he really doesn't care about our need for a coherent story, and certainly, his own stories with a little more care would be, at the worst, remarkable.

Im not understanding your english there bud, i wasn't talking about my post I was talking about what you stated previous which means had you not stated it before it means you do care about the what happens.

Also if you took time to read the first post you would have realized this isn't a topic focused on bashing IGA or the problems with the timeline. The question presented was if you thought the 100 year rule/legend/whatever it is was good or bad for the series. Not whether or not IGA ruined everything or anything like that.

Because it was stated...in the original i believe.. if not then yeah who ever worked on Rondo really messed up the series because they also stated Drac's age to be over 800.

Also Dracula never needed the assistance from anyone to revive, that was first introduced in Rondo. The previous games never showed him be awakened by anyone and in Super Cv 4 you clearly see the lighting bolt hit his grave and him in bat form fly away.

Also in the manual it stated that he was awakened by the Dark Priest Shaft and did not state after a 100 years Dracula revived. So yeah I think he was prematurely awakened.

And nagumo why are you still trying to debate with me? Ive stated numerous times to please return to the topic. If you have nothing else to say about it then please stop trying to prompt an argument from me. If thats how you feel then fine, I dont care but I do not want to fill this thread with needless arguments. The question was simple and you misunderstood it now that you understand it fine post accordingly. If you want a private debate my email/messenger is on this profile for you to retrieve.

Forgive me, I have a serious problem, I really forget what I've written before, seriously! When I read my past posts I say "What? I think like that?" and things like that.
I do care what happens, and the rule is a serious thing. I think that it was a sloopy decision back in the day; I can assure you that who did that rule didn't thougt about how big the saga would be in the future, and if you think it better, it wasn't too serious at the first (Christopher Bee WTF?  :D )

You know I do the same thing. I also hate listening to the sound of my own voice on voice mails and such lol

Thank you Ahasverus.

Also I need to apologize to nagumo because I went and looked over the manula of Rondo of Blood and it was stated a hundred years had passed since he had awakened which of course like most of the background withe Rondo of Blood was incorrect because only 94 years had passed.

So sorry it didn't say he had been prematurely awaken but if you did the math it would prove he actually was prematurely awakened.

I think dracula only aweakens, it doesn't matter if it is by ritual resurrection or reincarnation or by his own powers. I think he just resurrects whenever the drak powers begin to control the earth.

Well we do know that Dracula's Castle and powers reappear whenever darkness fills mankind, and Dracula probably starts to awaken too when ever that happen.
I mean, as stated in PoR, Brauner starts WW2 (how did he do that?) so lots of people would die, and fill people with sorrow and darkness, and thus Drac's Castle appears so that Brauner can use Drac's powers.

YOu are right! And remember that in Bloodlines, Elizabeth Bathory killed the Arch-Cuke of Austria and started the first (And overly underrated) wolrd war. Those games share a lot, and they give a light on these facts, dracula revives when darkness aproaches. However, what about 1999? did he mind about John Kennedy Jr death? or what about 1887? (Bram Stoker's dracula). Perhaps the Britain Kingdom was the darkness. We certainly don't know xD

Wait I thought Brauner lost his daughters due to the WW2 because WW2 didn't start until 1941.
