I would have preferred orange, like a real ginger, not hair-dye red.
But if that were the case then Simon's confrontation with Dracula would be like...

Simon: Die monster, you don't belong in this world!

<Yadda yadda, you know the drill>

Simon: Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs a savior such as you!

Dracula: *holds up mirror* And what of you, ginger? Dare you to challenge me, when you, yourself, have no soul? But enough talk, have at you!

Simon is emotionally scared by this revelation and is easily defeated by Dracula. The world remains in darkness for all eternity.

-end scene-

:P I kid, I kid, though seriously, I think fiery red haired Simon is awesome, even if CVIV is my favorite. Definitely excited to see how Simon plays out in MoF with his red hair and beard goodness.  ;D

Kojima's haircolor choice for Simon is way too sharp on the red. Like Inccubus had said; Hair-dye red. Not good really. It just doesn't seem to fit his character (and his prettyboy looks don't help either). That and his chronicles' sprite's hair color isn't even red. It's like a candy red going on a faded dark pink...or something.

I actually much prefer that slick candy apple red on Simon. Like a gaudy sports car...that slays demons for a living. I'm sure a Ferrari could do that. Somebody get Michael Bay on the phone because all this formula needs is 'SPLOSIONS!

Since Simon is a legendary chrctr in CV, in every game he looks different. It's okay, though. He's like a historical figure that nobody really knows how exactly it looked like.

Actually, yeah. It's shocking and vibrant in a good way. I don't really care that it isn't "realistic" or "gritty" or whatever. I don't really look for conservative realism in Castlevania games. More like vampire slaying stuff that takes historical cues but with a sensational, often Japanese entertainment-infuenced flair to it.

Made Laina's wish come true?  ;D

Thank you! I was hoping to find a similar shot with a 458 Italia with sweeping hills in the background (so I can shoop in the Castle) but the best I could really find was this Enzo from Forza. :(

Also, I'd totally play this. :D

Meh. Simon's hair will always be either brown or blonde to me. Depends on which mood I'm in.

So no one actually has naturally red hair?

Sure they do. Just not the way Kojima does it as it's more along the anime spectrum then it is in the normal spectrum. Besides, the only person who can pull off such red hair and get away with it is not a man, but a woman; Red Sonja.
