That ending was such a complete and utter mind fuck, but besides that, this was a god awful reboot. I'm VERY interested in seeing what that ending leads to but I  have no desire to purchase or play this game anymore.
Really, the story, after viewing it, while fleshed out a little more, doesn't actually seem that far off from what people claim IGA has been doing with the CV series. Some thought it was going to be better, but after watching the stream, other than some of the gameplay ideas, the story itself wasn't anything to write home about, and as a "prequel"(rebooted prequel to Dracula), it's just as hokey as how people claim Mathias being Dracula is. At least, with Mathias, he worked as the puppet master, stringing Leon along. With this, Gabriel, who eventually becomes Dracula, was the one who was being strung along. I think I have more respect for Mathias, though.

Also, Gabriel = Dracula has nearly the same standings as Mathias = Dracula. I wonder if the "Vlad III" fans are going to hate on the whole Gabriel thing? "But, we wanted VLAD TEPES to be Dracula, not some guy named Gabriel!!".

NO NO NO you don't get it!
He's not there sited by 2000 years, he's just "resurrected" as usual because that's the "usual" 1999 resurrection! Death wasn't there yet, light will be shed soon I think... Zobek has been there all the time but he didn't interfere, he didn't mind about Drac until Satan would be resurrected (or brought back to the living world). The DEMON castle Wars are about the whole world fighting SATAN, Dracula dies at the end? Sure, but that's because ZOBEK promised him that, we just sought that!... my God this  game is awesome, noe THE TIMLINE ACTUALLY HAS SENSE!  ;D

Premature resurrections?. Explained.
"Death" working for a man?. Explained.
Why does Dracula dies at the end of 1999 and wahy that battle was different to all the others?. Explained.
Why Dracula calls himself Dracula?. Explained.

Calm down. The ending didn't even say it took place in 1999. They didn't even reference the Demon Castle Wars, either. You're reading too much into it.

Anyways, wow. Am I the only one anticipating the NEXT CV game(maybe next IGA one) already? This one's story left me unsatisfied. Maybe playing it might make the experience slightly different, but no way was the story better than your standard IGA fair. At least, whenever we get another IGA one, we'll have classic Dracula, classic Castlevania and such.

Fair argument, but it probably dampered my enthusiasm for this turn of events because a very vast majority of this game felt/seemed nothing like a Castlevania game.

Also whoops got paged
Well.

If you want to see the Ending, skip to 1:09:35.

Also now that I think about it, Zobek is Death. He was the final Lord of Shadow, was he not? Makes sense to me.
