Topic: Mine and Puwexil's Top 5 Castlevania questions!

[beingthehero]

Even though we nag each other on and off, Puwexil and I agree these are probably the top 5 Castlevania questions. What are your alls answers?

1. Why are there so few female heros? Should the LoS sequel have one?

2. Who do you think is the greatest Belmont of all time?

3. Kojima or the OoE artist?

4. Which Castlevania do you think feels the least like a Castlevania title?

5. Should there be more HOT female enemies?

[Puwexil]

I can't believe you're not banned yet.

[beingthehero]

I didn't know you didn't want question 5 posted. Don't jump down my throat on the IRC. >_>

[crisis]

1. cuz IGA's a sexist derpderpderp

2. Simon, or Leon's successor.

3. Kojima, although Masaki is an excellent replacement but we haven't seen any indications that he's still interested in doing more work for the series.

4. Judgment, or Encore of the Night

5. Succubus is overrated, give us more Diplocephalus/Astarte/Draculina


prunyuu edit: LoS sequel should only have a female costar if she's a Belnades. Okay?

1. Because "typically, the women in a vampire story need to be rescued." -Igarashi.

2. I'd say it's definitely Simonchristopherjusterichtersoniavincen tdesmondjuliusleon.


3. I've only seen the OOE artist in one game, but he/she did a great job in that.

4. Curse of Darkness.

5. You mean there seriously aren't enough already?

[Munchy]

1. I'd only be up for a female hero if she breaks the prototypical spellcaster mold. I dunno, give her a spear or something. (Shanoa sort of did this, but even her weapon usage was written off as LOL MAGK)

2. Simon and/or Christopher.

3. Both have their merits. I'd say give Kojima a break for a while though.

4. The Kid Draculas. (Great games though.)

5. "You know what they say... the more the merrier!"

Source? That's pretty true though.

1. IGA's got issues with this and thus should seek help before making another game.

2. Most of us grew up wit Simon so...

3. OoE's art was refreshing. I found that some of the women (Laura the jeweler) was a very hot-looking woman.

4. Lords of Shadow.

5. Bring on the sexual equality. (This includes heroines too!)

1. I agree with the stereotype that men do the fighting and women are for support / are to be rescued. I'd say 99% of people playing these games are men, and only a small portion are the kind of perverts who want a hot female main char just to get their rocks off.

2. Richter in SOTN, even if his moves and item crashes are way exaggerated.

3. Kojima

4. Never played it but "Judgment" probably. LOS did it right with the some atmosphere but wrong with the enemies IMO.

5. Definitely. In the form of vampire women, spider-women, and maybe a hot Mer-woman.

Ahhh, Hero! You're always good for a controversial thread!

1.I always thought it was because the games were set in times where women weren't allowed to do any fighting.

2.Simon. He was the first, he killed Drac a couple times, and his Simon's Quest armor makes him look like a BAMF.

3.Kojima. I liked Masaki's art, but I like the stylized Kojima thing even though I think she's a one trick pony as far as that goes.

4.Of the ones I played? Probably the Sorrow games. I liked them enough but they seemed like some JRPG-lite type of thing rather than a Castlevania game.

5.I think there should be a monster that's shaped like a pair of boobs. Anyone else with me? Guys? >_>

Well, there's Max Slimer which solves... like... 45% of that problem.

[DoctaMario]

Well, he looks more like a breast implant really. But I'm talking about like a pair of perky, forward-facing tits. Ones that could possibly shoot sharp little cone things from the nipples.

5. Should there be more HOT female enemies?

1. Around that time, I don't recon women were allowed to do much but stay home, it would make sense only a selected few were allowed to fight. I personally like the fact that most Castlevania protagonists are male, the "saving the damsel in distress" stereotype is quite nostalgic .

2. Leon Belmont, simply because of his tragic nature.

(click to show/hide)

Giving up his title and sword to rescue his beloved only to find out his best friend had used him and was involved in his beloved's kidnapping, not only that, his beloved was turned. He pretty much lost everything. Not only did Leon not give up on life, he kept on fighting.

3. Kojima. I love her abstract gothic style. In some pieces of her work, she manages to turn an object into something it's not, creating a different image. She is by far my favourite artist.

4. LoS. Something is missing there.

5. I would love to see Ayami Kojima design some harpies, arachnes, or even some lesser female demons for future games.

hero why are you killing this board

2. Who do you think is the greatest Belmont of all time?

3. Kojima or the OoE artist?

4. Which Castlevania do you think feels the least like a Castlevania title?

5. Should there be more HOT female enemies?

1. I really don't know but adventure/action games have like a tradition of the male hero guy who pwns evil dudes. But I liked Sonia, Charlotte and Shanoa a lot. And no female hero in the LoS sequel, please, I want to see Gabe/Drac or something like a LOS Julius Belmont.

2. Grant DaNasty. Hum, I really like Trevor. I'd like to see his story more detailled in the future (a real scenario for Dracula's Curse or before the fme, for example). But please forgot the Pachislot things.

3. Kojima for sure. I like OoE's art, but Kojima seriously delivers a lot. Just look at her recent art book: fantastic.

4. Maybe LoS (though I really like it and its story), maybe all the "spin-off" stuff like the Pachislots or the Kid Dracula things.

5. Well, I'd rather have more HOT female heros!
