Topic: Castlevania: LoS - Mirror of Fate (SPOILER DISCUSSION)

[Kingshango]

Well technically Trevor is still the first to defeat Dracula.  :I

And alongside Alucard, subtle continuity nod right there.

[KaZudra]

Well, obvious ending of not, they still did a pretty good part into following continuity.
Trevor was canonically the second Belmont and Alucard IS the son of Dracula.
Plus Gabriel being Dracula made it all obvious from the get-go.

I wonder who the Lady of the Crypt is though, she got a mention in a Knight Scroll in the demo and I can't find artwork on the person either.

Seriously now, maybe its the Succubus? Since I didnt read this scroll I doesn't have any real clue.

[Akuma]

Dunno.  Simon faces the Succubus.

Guess we'll find out soon enough on Tuesday.

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

supposedly the secret ending is just Alucard finding the stake that was attacted to Gabriels combat cross, then flying away from the castle while Simon looks on as the castle collapses.

yea here is a vid for it (better look quick before MS/Konami has it taken down)
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate - Ending - Separate Ways


And I wonder what the meaning of it is?

Because we still do not know how Alucard got his sword in LOS2.

And judging by Cox's words, it definitely not a ordinary sword.

I was hoping to see him get it at the end of Mirror of Fate.

[Ahasverus]

I liked the final SImon scene, perfect remake of the original ending

[Shiroi Koumori]

Whooohooo! Spoilers that are not spoilers since we totally guessed the plot.
Man, I can't help but LOL while reading this at the department. You guys made my day.

I am now afraid of the plot of LOS2.... (that it would seemingly be written by a kid....)

[VladCT]

Whatever the plot of LoS2 may be, I guess we'll just have to ask Cox something that he'll deny in a suspiciously specific way.

[Shiroi Koumori]

Then we would know it is part of the story.
Seriously though, Cox should have the skill to deny things without suspicion. Or maybe he is just a giddy as a schoolgirl with the LOS trilogy thus allowing us to see what actually belongs to the game.

[Akuma]

Amazing.

The Belmonts killed Luigi! Those bastards! 

As for the plot twist...meh.  It's just hilarious to me that Cox flat out lied about it more than anything.  (I'm not trusting a thing he says ala LoS 2 at this point.). Though the entire thing with Trevucard is kinda sad: Gabe just can't win in this story.  And the Brotherhood sucks.

[DragonSlayr81]

The fact Cox lied about Alcuard not being Trevor just to hide the "plot twist" makes me wonder if he's lying about something else. Specifically, the whole, "Gabriel's the first Belmont and the last". I can totally see something happening where he DOES get taken down by a future descendant(Julius?) or even Alucard in LoS2.

Also, considering this is a spoiler discussion, do we ever find out how that guy in the stain-glass window is?:

I think they killed Luigi's escort, or Luigi had a 1-Up.

I'm with Gabby on this one.  The brotherhood and whoever is "really" pulling their strings needs to go.  And I'm sure that humanity isn't entirely composed of the brotherhood.

Probably Frankenstein before something bad happened.  Can't say for sure yet.

Looking at all this "fate" thing, I'm a bit of the opinion that God (or whatever higher being might be there instead) is more actively being a dick to "Dracula" in this continuity.
At least God in the IGAverse stopped at Drac's wife (or wives, if you count the wrongful execution of Lisa Fahrenheights Tepes that might be orchestrated by someone else (hey, Isaac was behind Rosaly's)), here He pretty much decided "oh hey let's make you kill your own son too while I'm at it." (I consider Trevor already dead by the time Gabe vampirizes him.)
