Plots that can still be used in IGA's timeline

First of all, hello. Newbie around the dungeon.

This is my first post so take it easy on me ok?  ;)

Now on the topic, It seems that MoF and LoS2 will be the final work of MS. I don't think IGA or anyone who will take over the franchise will touch the plotline of the LoS universe. So in case that they want to return on IGA's storyline, these are the ideal plots that came through my head (hopefully they read this :D).

The 1999 event/ Rebirth of the Belmonts - Yes, this is the plot that most of the fans want to become a game. Julius should take the role of the main protagonist here. It should put some details on how did he obtain back the vampire killer from the Morris family. Of course, a member of the Morris family would be necessary since they are the last holder of the vampire killer before Julius. Add Alucard on the mix along with (Insert name here) Belnadez another (Insert name here) Hakuba.

Morris succession - I think they should also make a game about Quincy Morris. Yeah we know that IGA took a page from Bram Stroker's novel in Bloodlines but I'm still curious how would the plot turn out. My friend read the novel and he said he didn't find any Quincy Morris there. How did the Belmont clan lost their powers and how did the Morris take over the vampire killer?

Revelations of Dracula and the Belmonts - It should take place after the event of LoI. How did Dracula met his second wife, Lisa? What are the Belmont clan doing during their hunt for Drac?

The Baldwin Story - Circle of the Moon's plot was considered a spin off  and not officially part of IGA's timeline. I don't think it will be a bad idea to make a prequel about it. How about we see Morris Baldwin kicking some vampire ass with his vampire killer?

That's it for now. If you have better ideas, i'd like to read it out. Comments? Violent reaction?

Currently, I would be the most interested in a plot set after SoTN detailing how all the Belmonts got amnesia and couldn't touch the whip until 1999. And perhaps a story that follows up on that cliff hanger ending from Simon's Quest?

I always wondered if Vampire Killer got jealous when Leon found another gal. A game detailing the transition for Leon and Mathias after Lament would be cool. Also, 1999. We need it.

Yeah this, 1999, and at least one game sequel to LoI as stated in the OP.

Sadly, the plot of LoS completely shits on LoI. Although they are in different universe, I think this will discourage IGA's team from developing the transition game from LoI to CV3.

I haven't finished the CVII so I have no idea yet on Nagumo's comment.

I don't think Mathias is Dracula anyway. I think Mathias is just another vampire and Dracula is the Dracula we all know and love who somehow got his power from Mathias or from some other vampire that defeated Mathias. It's much more plausible because Mathias is so scrawny.

The often desired 1999 game and bringing back Sonia Belmont into canon in a way all fans and the producers can agree with. That's really all I can think of. Otherwise they would just continue Soma's story, which I really don't want to see them do.

Maybe a new game with Christopher in it since the GB games aren't acknowledged that much, they could get away with reimagining Belmont's Revenge as a sequel to Rebirth.

Dunno, id rather something like a comic or manga for that rather than a game.

Though showing the downtime between battles is always nice. Like that one fan art of the SoTN cast posing for a painting, with the other belmont portraits behind them. those kinds of things.
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

there's still PLENTY of space to explore the events between Dawn of Sorrow and Galamoth's time as depicted in Judgment.  Kid Dracula might not be canon, but I think it parallels some events that really took place.  What those events might be, who becomes the next Dark Lord, and who Kid Dracula really is are interesting things that can be explored.

on another note, i'd love it if they somehow officially connected Castlevania canon with Getsu Fuma.  i'd like to see an adventure where Maxim travels to Japan to learn all his ninja-style stuff and has to deal with all the demonic activity that's going on in Japan at the time.

This. I also believe that Mathias is just another stepping stone to the real Dracula as was Walter to Mathias.

Also a 1999 game and a sequel to CVII would be nice since the true ending has Dracula's hand explode out from under his grave.

A prequel to this game would also be an interesting venture but I don't believe that Morris Baldwin is the owner of the whip. I believe that Nathan's deceased parents were the owners of the whip. It helps with the fact that Nathan receives the whip and not Hugh, and not just because of Hugh's dark desires or personal recognition either, but because it's a family heirloom. Something that Hugh is unaware of.

Yeah, believing Mathias isn't Dracula is exactly like believing that Gabriel isn't Dracula. Then again, maybe there are some poor saps who still believe he's Dracul. ;D

I too would like to see a Belmont's Revenge re-imagining or just something with Soleil as a protagonist (I think the character of Soleil has great potential, and I'm a sucker for 'good character is possessed/corrupted/seeking redemption' plots) and yes, I'd like to see re-canonisation of Sonia. 'No female Belmonts' might make sense for a time where women couldn't do anything, but we're already dealing with vampires, zombies, werewolves and anachronistic weaponry, so that caveat rings a bit false. And I for one like Sonia as the progenitor of the line, with Alucard; it's a great trope to have one thing beget its own downfall, as Dracula would have in this case. Also perhaps I'm biased, again, by my preferences for antiheros/corrupteds but I'd still like to actually see Victor Belmont. Doesn't a ne'er-do-well Belmont who shirks his legacy appeal to anyone else?

Maybe one day I'll fight my way to the top of Konami tower and battle IGA to make this happen.

I don't think we need another Christopher game. We already have Adventure Rebirth. I'd like to see Soleiyu in action though.

We also didn't manage to see Victor Belmont since Resurrection was canned. Like Soleiyu, I would like to see him in his own game.

Could you find a link to that art, please?

As for plots - 1999 game, but it'll never happen most likely, everything else could be covered with a text database.
