Topic: IGA --Le Requiem?

[Lumas]

This.  AoS should just be the end point on the time line.  With that in mind, all we really need is two or three games to fill in some gaps in the story:  1) the 1999 game, 2) a game explaining why the Belmont's can't use the whip until 1999 after SotN and why they seem to vanish aside from that one village, 3) a game between LoI and CVIII explaining how Mathias went from being a just a very powerful vampire to "The Dark Lord".

I totally agree with this. Though I would like to see them fix the Mathias thing maybe have Vlad go after him kill him, claim his powers in order to save his home land then after Lisa's death get pissed at humanity for betraying him since he damned himself to save them from the invasion of Mathias' monsters, but thats just me.

I don't think a single game would be adequate to fill in the 300+ years between Lament & CVIII. That period alone could be filled by several games for the next 10 years.

True.

Then again, Cox is starting a new timeline with LoS so who knows if Konami even cares about the old mythology anymore!

Again very true, but is HoD considered cannon? Ive been away from some time now so I dont know if it is or is not. However if it is considered "cannon" then maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel for the timeline.

IgaVania - Stays and should stick to innovating his games, GIVE HIM Inafune, they can make the next best castlevania no doubt
CoxVania - Lord of the Whips is a great timeline!
AlternaVania - This is where the Non-canon games go, you can make a really good timeline (most of my fan material is in this)

3 universes. Marvel has...... 10,209,072,309,434,536,624,757,433,456,846 and produces 1/4 more each year
I don't see why not, I dno't think the term Reboot should have been used, more like in an alternate timeline since IGA is working on the new Castlevania for the 3DS (not officially announced but hinted toward it in an interview) and COx is Preping LoS : the Two Towers for later this year i bet.

Long live Igavania and Castlevania : the Fellowship of the Whip!

I want to see this fix too. It would allow IGA's game to remain in the timeline and "fix" up the blunder he made.

hint: Gabriel was adopted and was given the name Gabriel, he gave himself the name Belmont because he liked mountains, his birth name unknown, but since everyone in LoS has lived up to thier Namsake... that means......

WHAT IS A MAN!?

Well, if something like were to happen, it could make some sense.  I mean, Mathias never had a problem with humans.  He just became a vampire so that he would be immortal and thus defy God's decree of limited life.  The Dracula we all know from the early games hates humans and wants to make them extinct.  But, why Vlad would want to go after Mathias?  For all we know, Mathias has no intention of harming humans.  Also, Death seems loyal to Mathias.  Why would he betray Mathias?

Death obeys those who possess the Ebony and Crimson stones. If Vlad got his hands on them then Death would turn on Mathias. As for Vlad going after Mathias? It would be out of revenge. According to history, King Matthias imprisoned Vlad for a duration of six years while his younger brother was given the Romanian throne; by none other then king Matthias. Eventually Vlad got on Matthias' favorable side and regain his freedom. With Matthias' help, Vlad raised an army and retook the throne from his brother. In the castlevania story, it could be presented that Vlad, after winning his freedom and regaining control of Romania, went after Mathias and exacted his revenge. Mithais dies and Vlad takes the two stones back with him. Death becomes his eternal servent and so-on and so-fourth.

Death does NOT obey the one who possesses the Ebony stone, only the Crimson Stone, and even the specifics to this relationship isn't touched upon. Death simply states, "This power I offer to the king who wields the Crimson Stone!". That's it. At most, Death basically offers a soul to his master, which is Mathias, but it doesn't state specifically that Mathias is his master because of the Crimson Stone, only that Death is offering Walter's soul to the one who wields the Crimson Stone. Again, Death has no alliance with Walter.

And as far as IGA's timeline is concerned, Mathias and Vlad are one-in-the-same, just like Samuel Langhorne Clemens and Mark Twain are one-in-the-same, as are Reginald Dwight and Elton John.

I have to respectivly disagree. Vlad and Mathias are not the same and here's why:

1. Vlad was a medieval butcher who took delight in torturing his enemies as well as his own people. He wasn't a very handsome dude either and he ruled Romania with an iron fist. He lost his own wife to suicide (like in Bram Stoker's Dracula), but Vlad remained stronge and continued on till his assassination in 1476. Vald was also praised as a hero to his people for defending them from the Ottoman turkish invasion.

2. Mathias is an emo-prettyboy who became bedridden at the lose of his wife and could only gain any form of real power through alchemy (The Chrimson stone) because he wasn't strong enough to pick himself up. He was merely a tactition and had no battle experience (Unlike Vlad).

I know that these "Mathias Vs Vlad or Dracula" stuff has been done to death. But IGA's personal view of Dracula just pales in comparison to the one we all knew.

Death does NOT obey the one who possesses the Ebony stone, only the Crimson Stone, and even the specifics to this relationship isn't touched upon. Death simply states, "This power I offer to the king who wields the Crimson Stone!"

I do remember that line, but what it does tell me is that Mathias, who has the Chrimson stone, is Death's lord and master.
