Topic: Will Soma ever be back?

[Chernabogue]

Im surprised Soma doesnt recognize Arikado as Alucard. He no doubt KNOWS who Alucard is, after he was awakened to the truth in the throne room, And he knows Arikado has supernatural powers himself, but he doesnt know he is Alucard.

Unless he DOESNT really have Dracula's memories... which is possible.

I think, in AoS, he recongnizes Arikado, just after the Graham battle, but I'm not sure.

Aria of Sorrow, Soma
Finally, I clearly understand everything. I am...Dracula! This is like a bad joke. Come on out, Arikado. I know you're here.


Dawn of Sorrow, Dmitrii
Have patience, Arikado. Or perhaps I should address you with your real name? When the boy began his dark transformation, I scanned memories of his past lives. Make one move, and the boy will die. You don't wish that, do you?

They want it to be canon because it was the ONLY part of Dawn that was actually good. Dawn's Julius mode makes a far better game than the actual game, sadly. Because the Story for Dawn is absolute crap. Plus for some damn reason, its cool to have Soma fall to the dark side. I mean, his bad ending in Aria was pretty sweet.

I think it would pretty terrible writing, even for the Castlevania series, to just undermine the impact of the Demon Castle Wars and AoS. Also, the world is bigger than Dracula, you know.

Don't count on it.
Not with IGA gone and the lame reboot going on, it's very unlikely.


I was disappointed with the lords of shadow thing. Haven't played it, never will.

It just doesn't feel like a traditional Castlevania to me.

But whoops, not gonna derail this thread anymore.
I'm outta here again.

Your argument is completely invalid sir.

I think they should REBOOT the Sorrow saga, the original story is pretty nice but I think they pretty much screwed up DoS, it turned into a saturday morning cartoon; also, AoS will be soon 10 years old (!) so most people will not even know what is happening if they release the 3rd one. I think it needs a reboot made by a capable studio with storytelling abilities (not you Igarashi) because it's pretty intriguing what could be done with it. 2D would be nice too

Don't knock it till you try it. If you haven't played it, you really cant judge it.

[VampirehunterB]

my experience with LoS..pretty good action game, but it's not castlevania.

[crisis]

I think they should REBOOT the Sorrow saga,

wtf? no, it's fine the way it is.


What's with everyone jumping on the "lets shit on DoS" bandwagon in this thread? It's not that bad of a game.

[Nagumo]

But it has animu. 

[JiPrime]

But it has animu. 

It's only bad because it has animu.

I bet most of the haters will dry hump their copies of DoS if it doesn't have animu.

[Ahasverus]

Oh no, they lost me when Julius became a senile man (and of course that type of anime sucks it can't be denied)

wtf? no, it's fine the way it is.

But you know it could be BETTER, the orginal premise (Draula searching fro redemption in another life but still getting tempted) is awesome, bu you know the traditional (and with traditional I mean 12 years old traditionañ) Castlevania team a fine delivery  of that promise is very unlikely

[Nagumo]

If there is one kind off anime I love, then that is definitely senile old man anime.

[crisis]

Julius was first introduced/created AS a "senile old man," he hasn't had his memory for over 20 years.


I guess they should reboot LoS, too. Since, you know, it could be better 'n stuff.

[thernz]

i think the problem with dos isnt so much its anime but that the castle is completely bland save for the lost village and that the game just bloats up aos's gameplay with more grinding

so it's like well okay

[Ahasverus]

Sure why not? I would kill for a Rocksteady-made LoS
