Could you find a link to that art, please?

Thank you.

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.

A redesigned Victor would be welcomed(as long as he doesn't look blatantly like Tim Curry, like Resurrection's did). And I've stated how I would've loved a revised story regarding Sonia(maybe placing her somewhere else in the timeline, and in a far more GRANDER adventure than what Legends was). Soleiyu would be nice, but I'd also want new Belmonts. I thought Gabriel(in LoS) was a great addition to the "Belmont" family(even though he's not from the original canon). What about other Belmonts who go on adventures when Dracula's not around? Stefan Belmont, Richard Belmont, Aaron Belmont, Michael Belmont and, to toss in another female, Victoria Belmont(considering they say Maria has Belmont blood in her, maybe Victoria could be ancestor to the Renards).

I'm sure already mentioned but I think a LoI sequel could happen, a third Soma game but this time you kill Soma, the 1999 game, I wouldn't mind a reboot for Sonia, or a game with Soleiyu.

They could always make a Soma game that involves someone trying to usurp Dracula's position. Like Olrox. Like that one novel.

or better, make the novel into a game. forget the OH SOMA IS DRACULA WE MUST TAKE HIS POWERS OR MAKE HIM EVIL shit. Just have another vampire trying to fill the void of power. Lord knows Dracula cant be the ONLY powerful vampire around.

I always love Alia of Sorrow bad ending, the one when Soma loses to Chaos, thus forcing Julius hand. It so poetic, if you thank about it. Perfect end to the series, as I see is. However if Judgmento is of concern, than Garamoth will reign 10,000 years at least, so how that happen?

perhaps Judgment Too will exlplain

Sounds like a LoS2 plot to me.

We already had a Sorrow game where you kill Soma. It's called Dawn of Sorrow's Julius Mode.

But, yes, we could use a game starring Soleiyu.

I would love to see the story behind Aeon ascension of power from being a simply fat baker to one of the members of the prestigiously club of "time traveling sirs" wich saint germain is also a part of.

of course saint germain and aeon don't go along too well, since saint germain can't stand aeon obsession with baked goods and other delicate dishes that aeon seem to spread trough all igavanias games, despite its achronological nature.

the gameplay would implement having to collect such dishes which would give you powers similars to the souls of aria of sorrow, for example, collecting a bunch of sausages would give you access to a sausage whip, a weapon that could emulate the old whiping feel that some titles of the saga seems to be lacking.

also various famous subweapons would make a return, such as the fan favorite "pies", or "glass of wine", for nostalgia factor, and some new ones such as the "flambé pancakes". Also, you could create diverse constructs like the "bread golem" or the "ice cream animated armor" wich would function as your familiars which also will be able to gain levels and evolve into more complex monsters like the "bitter chocolate goliath", much like the award winning game "Curse of darkness".

the enemy would be of course Orlox which have stolen an important set of diner silverware for his fancy table back at the castle, but as plot twist, he was being used by the true mastermind behind every felony, Galamoth which is trying to control the future, so he can create the ultimate ice cream flavor for it's own enjoyment!

i can't fathom how all this part of the stroyline have been left in the dark for such much time!

I think I like you.

If I remember correctly one of the major themes in DOS was that, if the world would ever be in need of the Dark Lord, he will appear and there is no need to create him artificailly. And it shouldn't be Dracula. I think Alucard said somethjing to that effect in the end of the game.

If we go by that idea, than Dracula was just occupying that position for the longest time, so some people automatically think that Dracula = Dark Lord. I think, IGA gave himself a way out of the dead end he created in AOS. Basically some other guy could become Dark Lord and the battle between Belmonts and forces of evil continue, this time not related to Dracula. Though, I don't think that people would accept that concept. So, DOS is not necessarily should be the end of old timeline.

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

Though, I don't think that people would accept that concept. So, DOS is not necessarily should be the end of old timeline.

I think people would be willing to accept it IF it where done in the right manner and IF it where the right person to take over that position such as Olrox or Galamoth who are 2 fan favorites.

As long as Dracula has SOME role in it such as still being a part of Soma or his power or presence still be used somehow in future titles I think fans could learn to like it.

[DragonSlayr81]

But, who wouldn't accept it? I would(speaking personally). Older fans? I think most of them wouldn't mind a return to the classic canon, even if Dracula wasn't present. Newer fans? If we just judge it on LoS(not MoF or LoS2), casual fans didn't mind that Dracula didn't show up until the ending movie. Gabriel Vs Satan sufficed. Who's to say a similar thing wouldn't work in the original canon if Dracula wasn't present? Belmont versus "New Dark Lord". Belmont Vs Olrox. Belmont Vs Carmilla(make her a main antagonist). Hell, you'd think, with no Dracula present, his one time minions would all be gunnning for the top spot in his absense. With Dracula around, he kept Olrox, Carmilla, among others, in check. They knew they couldn't ursurp his reign. That's kinda why Olrox being featured in the DoS sequel novella made sense. Alpha wolf's not there anymore, and all the other wolves are fighting for that position. It's actually brilliant! I'm sure lots of CV fans would be open to that, and lots of the newer, casual fans wouldn't mind either.

[Flame]

The concept was fine, and the DoS sequel novel seems to handle it alright. (couldnt say for sure- cant read Japanese) Since it has a familiar character (Olrox) trying to usurp the position.

Hell, AoS had Graham trying to inherit Dracula's powers and take his place. But DoS is where the actual concept itself was actually explicitly stated in game, and yet, ironically enough, DoS is the WORST example of it, having done it just so wrong.

The concept is fine though.

You guys seem to be forgetting something, the next TRUE dark lord
