Your god has abandoned and forsaken you. Every day humanity strays further from the path of your lord and into the depths of debauchery and sin. Cherish the little time you have left on this earth. For the world shall one day crumble and the sky will become enveloped in darkness, and when that day comes I shall rule over it's remains.

*Proceeds to job to pretty boy Dracula*
Oh no no no no, belmont sisters, how do you explain your "strongest" belmont jobbing to a fricking pimp coat wearing vampire?
It wasn't a job, it was a well earned victory after a tough fight
He literally said he was going easy on him, despite not being at full power. Soma had to seal the bosses to stop them resurrecting. Julius just fricking murdered them so hard and fast they couldn't keep regenerating.
>Julius just fricking murdered them so hard and fast they couldn't keep regenerating.
Christ I completely forgot about that shit, that's fricking wild.
canonicaly pretty boy dracula turns evil and the man that was holding back stops holding back and kills him
again
*with help
I agree Julius is awesome but people act like he did everything himself
he didnt have help in Aria
is just julius
Julius mode in Aria is not canon
You dumb Black person, he's referring to the bad ending where Julius shows up alone. Julius IS that damn good, there's a reason why he's heralded as the hero who finally put the vampire wars to rest.
Why we never got a game of it, I'll never know. Why Konami won't fricking make one to capitalize on a Castlevania comeback, I'll never know!
Ah right i forgot about that one. It's DOS where he is super nerfed
Eh, more like the devs just wanted an excuse to make a CVIII team again. Julius can beat DoS Soma for sure, he just wasn't allowed to make Alucard's bat form redundent.
Curse of Darkness had really good voice acting.
So did SOTN
>You are Dracula
>The front door to your castle gets kicked in

What do?
hide all my pork chops in candles and walls
>IGA's self insert is the strongest Belmont

Increase the medusa head counts to x10 and place them all in a platforming section with spikes at the bottom.
Dracula was shit at castle building, that is why he always gets killed.
I would just place that death saw from SCIV on every single room
I feel like you could easily make a fantastic castle management sim spinoff for CV, but Konami would still frick it up somehow.
One of my dream games is a Castlevania maker with lots of obstacle and enemy variety
I'd like that but I'd also like an actual dumb story to go with it, something really silly about the lives of monsters in the castle and how Dracula's lieutenants have to manage them. Like stopping all the skeletons from forming unions, or having job interviews for boss fight positions, or actually making Persephone fricking clean properly instead of vaccuming other girls' skirts and practicing kung fu katas.
>Lady Carmilla, the waiter spilt curry all over the guest house again
>...Create new enemy "Mop Skeleton".
frick, that would be so awesome. I've always dreamt of a necromancer game where you have to design your own monsters or undead and then complete missions by "programming" them to perform actions. Kind of like carnage heart if you guys have ever played that. You have to scavenge battle sites to get materials in order to build units.
Didn't Overlord and Evil Genius try to do something like that? Probably not very well since what I heard is that they're far too basic.
I've never played evil genius but overlord was just ordering minions. In carnage heart you basically program your robots with instructions and then the battle is completely hands off. I'd want something like that but with the ability to also add reactionary instructions and such. Would also be neat to put together some kind of abomination whose sole purpose is too more efficiently packmule lol. I loved your idea of a castlevania manager. I'd honestly buy that in a heartbeat.
it's definitely not as advanced as programming minions but you might wanna check out Keeper RL
>the entire game consists of all of dracula's exploits (even cv2)
>all based on final levels (because it would be too long otherwise)
>have to design your final stage to overwhelm the belmonts, but you have an arbritary budget restriction (even dracula does not know why he's limited)
>story has a tongue in cheek narrative with dracula trying to keep his brooding air the whole while, while his grunts and sub bosses provide most of the comedy
>due to the story's nature it's more treated as a loose canon retelling but in a funnier way
>each stage ends with a fight against the belmont (that you have to win, until they pull out their anime deus ex machina to make a comeback)
>each new stage features an artstyle either directly from or inspired by the game it's referencing
>final stage is against julius, giving some fans some closure on the war of 99
>even by now dracula, who was getting tired is starting to sweat bullets after hearing how big this new guy's dick is
>stinger scene is dracula's soul waking up, realizing he's been reincarnated, and resigning to his fate of now being a japanese highschooler
Would be kino beyond belief.
I'd buy it.
Man, there's a lot of mileage in something like this. Like take OoE, for example, where the castle just gets introduced in the last part of the game
>Why is it so small? And we only have enough space for five bosses? What?
>I'm sorry my lord, the hunter is already on her way and we've barely had enough time to order the chandeliers!
>each stage ends with a fight against the belmont (that you have to win, until they pull out their anime deus ex machina to make a comeback)
Considering this literally happens at the start of SotN with Maria rushing in and giving Richter infinite invincibility, it's extremely appropriate.
Oh yeah, one more thing.
>beating the game lets you unlock BELMONT MODE
>play through stages (default, self custom or online) that have been made to thwart you as each titular belmont
>get to choose loadout and whatever other mechanics each game has, naturally you will be decked out as allowed in each game
>frick it, allow cross belmont time shenanigans. Richter in a CV1 final stage, Simon in Rondo, etc
>even option for multiplayer ala Harmony of Despair
I really hate myself for making game ideas I like that companies will never ever do.
Intro needs Death delivering Leon's message about killing the night to Dracula
>Death: Sire, I come bearing news...or more of a "warning".
>Dracula: Speak, wringer of suffering.
>Death: That "Belmont" mortal, he has declared war on you, sire. He seemed quite determined, and is readily preparing his clan for a battle. Generations, if need be, should his words were true.
>Dracula: Hmph! Nothing but the dribble of a fleeting human life. I am the ultimate evil, lord of all darkness, Dracula!
>Death: Correct, sire...but his weapons are quite powerful. They may even be a threat to one such as I, hard as it may be believed. Perhaps they could even-
>Dracula: Well, let them come. I will give them all pain beyond compare...and they shall fear the name "Dracula"!
>Centuries later, after many defeats and revivals
>Belmont #243: Dracula, I have come to slay you! Prepare yourself!
>Dracula: (Exhaustingly) ...Maybe I should have listened to Death...
For me, it's the garden expansion. I planted my whole garden with cute Aluraunes with different hair and flower colors. I know it's not the optimal layout or whatever but I just like them.
>tfw the strongest belmont gets the best belmont theme
There really is so much packed in here. From how definitive the intro starts with a banging drum, this is a man on a mission: eternally on a mission. He doesn't live to destroy Dracula, he lives to destroy ALL evil. Even when the big man is done, he ventures on. Radiating with a passionate heart of fire that yearns to protect the weak and innocent, he is a good man who does everything to defend those who need it. The sounds of triumphant heroism that embodies his theme, he is the living trump card, the last word, the final say, the end all be all, the VAMPIRE KILLER.
He is JULIUS BELMONT.
Let me tell you about Julius Belmont.
Dracula was the incarnation of all evil guaranteed to resurrect at least once a century, until he met Julius. When Julius Belmont ices a b***h, he stays dead. Dracula's immortal soul got fricked so hard it reincarnated as a Japanese twink. That's right, Julius gave the lord of darkness the John Numbers treatment.
Years later you get to play as Twinkula disciplining your pet castle and wannabe Dracula trying to fill the power vacuula. And it's all pretty tame until you meet Julius FRICKING Belmont, who is pretty FRICKING sure he said No Draculas. Some of you may remember the next part, because if you were young it's where you got your ass kicked to the sound of Julius' personal ass kicking mix. And once you think you've got him down he just uses Grand Cross, instantly kills you, and rips apart the castle in the background just because.
So you finally get through all that and become Top Drac, only for Soma's bat-senses to kick in and he comes to a realization:
"This motherfricker is sandbagging"
"This is the hardest fight in the game and it's just Julius giving up because he feels sorry for me"
"This is what Julius throwing a fight looks like"
Julius is like "Sorry I only feel comfortable killing vampires not Japanese women" and Soma doesn't correct him, just runs off to punch the castle in the snout until it behaves because Jesus Christ you stony prick you're going to get me killed.
And everything's fine until cultists try to get their hands on Dracula's stash again in Dawn of Sorrow. There you have to use touch screen to seal bosses or they'll resurrect indefinitely. Without sealing magic, you can't just murder bosses so hard so hard they don't come back--unless you're Julius Fricking Belmont. Frick your touchscreen gimmicks, Belmont says.
How old is Julius during the games? Late fifties. This is what old and busted Julius Belmont looks like. Julius Belmont in his prime cannot be depicted, for no game can contain him.
>Forgets to sire an heir because of deus ex amnesia.
>Finally remembers and goes "Oh shit I need a kid."
>Points to Yoko and goes "You'll do," and sires yet another magical Belmont.
He is without a doubt the strongest of Belmonts.
>He is without a doubt the strongest of Belmonts.
Well yeah, that's canon, every generation is stronger than the last.
It's kind of awesome that Julius killed Dracula so hard that he basically exploded into his constiutent parts, his soul (Soma), his power (Chaos) and a whole load of residual bullshit (the freaks who were born when he died and got bits of his power). But the unfortunate fact is that he stopped being a reliably predictable disaster to any number of unpredictable shitheads all across the planet. Like we only see three of them in Aria and Dawn but realistically there could be hundreds or thousands or more of those fricks anywhere on Earth.
The last sentence is the reason why seal of the eclipse will never be released.
Reality Check: Julius just did what every other Belmont did before him. The actual reason Dracula got defeated for good is because of the Habuka priest sealing the castle into an eclipse.
Is Soma actually japanese?
I thought he was an exchange student that was from Europe
According to Netflix he hates god too.
Netflix is even less canon than LoS and Legends combined, fortunately.
I just played this for the first time (I've been going through a lot of Castlevania games recently) and man, the card system feels like such a great concept but is completely wasted on paper. Why the frick were they locked behind being rare enemy drops while simultaneously having absolutely zero indication of which enemies drop them? They made this super cool system that a vast majority of players aren't going to see because 20% of it requires you to grind shit in the fricking Battle Arena.
I'm going to be playing Harmony of Dissonance next eventually
The Advance Collection added a feature where hitting an enemy would show if they dropped a card or not.
I dont care what anyone says, soma had the best drip
>Coat doesn't fall despite hanging off shoulder
Why can't real life be as cool? Never get tired of seeing this.
