Topic: Things not explained but you'd like to know in Castlevania

1) The stairs? I wonder why we've always had to take on these.
2) Platforms = They may knock us down, or even take us to pitfalls which lead to..
Which CV game do you think has the most nastiest traps of all time?
3) With new Belmonts' coming out of the woodwork, where does this place the VK whip?

Why hasn't Ecco the Dolphin made an appearance in the underground Atlantis yet?

[Renonsgoods]

FleaMan is a rather new name, too.

There seem to be four species of jumping nasty short monster:
1. Hunchbacks (CV1, CV3, X68000)
2. SabreTooth Rabbits (Akumajo Densetsu, Super Castlevania IV)
3. FleaMen (DraculaX, SotN, AoS, DoS, PoR)
4. Creepers (Belmonts' Revenge)

They also had a version of this enemy in Legacy of Darkness as well.  Anyone remember what they were called in that game?

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Oh that's right, but those were basically  hunchbacks.  They weren't their own type.  Take a hunchback and palette-swap him to goblin-green and you got the 3D Legacy of Darkness hunchbacks.

What a topic to come back to! Sindra, your explanations are lovely.

Now for some questions of my own...

In SoTN, was the Succubus' death sexual in nature (e.g. rape) or just the product of horrible voice acting?

Also, in Order of Ecclesia, did Shanoa get those glyphs when she entered Ecclesia (branded, tattooed) or did she have them when she was taken in? The marks look consistent with scarification, but I am still unsure.

There are probably more I can't quite recall at the moment.

1. Product of voice acting. Also, succubi pretty much always make inappropriate noises.

2. I assume she got the tattoos after "joining" Ecclesia as a little orphan kid.

3. Snape kills Dumbledore

Total mortal kombat spoiler

Man, you are a dick.

...I thought i had put in a spoiler tag.  Well, it's not a perfect spoiler, anyway

(Sindel does not kill everybody, and subzero got spoiled a while ago). Here, I'll fix it.

1: Haha yeah. That much is true. What made me wonder, though, was why we don't see her die. She's the only one whose death we never see. That's what really struck me.

2: That seems plausible enough. The color and shading do make them look like brands.

3: "NOOOOOOO!"

1) Bad voice acting.  She is suppose to scream, not have an orgasm.
2) It isn't explained, but I assume that they appear when she absorbs glyph and probably change depending on what glyphs she uses.

[xscientist5000]

I think the voice acting fit. Shes supposed to sound seductive, and I actually liked all the voice acting in SOTN.

But her voice acting in LOI was terrible like most of the voice acting in that game, IMO. The conversations in general, its like, do people really talk like that? Maybe it was just bad translation..

I wonder why Juste decorates a room in the castle that he is going to destroy anyway?

OCD?

[Ridureyu]

Now I have a mental picture of Juste obsessively washing his hands to get the germs off.
