I hope you have time to, I finally got to the stage I have some of my best memories from with all the gold everywhere. I’m pretty close to the end I think.

Cool! I'm definitely going to try to play it soon

Amazing, beautiful score, fantastic special effects (arguably more impressive than mode 7 fudgeery in Super CV4), just good crap.
Yeah, it's not like Stage 1 was bad or anything. It was just ok, which surprised me after having heard such good things about the game. But I'm totally fine with the first stage easing you in, and then the game really picking up in the following stage.

Spear's a much better option later on in the game. I did go ahead and beat it with John once I'd finished it with Eric, doable but definitely harder! Love the angles you get with the whip tho.

I beat Castlevania Bloodlines today. Stage 2 was incredible, but honestly, the game kinda went back to mediocre (for a CV game) after that, at least IMO. There were some cool things here and there, but idk, overall it just felt kinda blah. I did like that the Dracula fight wasn't excruciatingly difficult though like it is in many CV games, that was refreshing.
I'm hoping to start SCIV tonight.

Beat Symphony of the Night this morning, in a manner of speaking.

Probably the most fun I've had playing a Castlevania game. Everything is just so polished. The amount of content and secrets squeezed into the game is extraordinary, and I didn't even bother with the Inverted Castle yet.
I'm planning on coming back and doing that next, but I've been dying to pick up the NES Castlevanias, so I'm going to start on those this afternoon.

This was the only Castlevania game I played during the actual NES era. It was positively impenetrable for a seven-year-old, and not much better for a full grown adult with all the false floors, breakable walls, and NPCs giving bad advice. It isn't bad with a guide, though.

It was my favorite in high school because of its low difficulty, coupled with a motivation to clear it quickly for the best ending (which ironically is the worst ending). I knew all the tricky stuff from childhood, so getting that tornado at Deborah Cliff was second-nature. I've since grown to appreciate challenge more, so it's dropped a bit since then.

As much as I don't like being lost and backtracking, I do like that you have options to deal with the difficulty of the Metroidvania games. The straight-up platforming titles just have to be muscled through, but the quest games let you grind for levels and resources, plus the special items.
Speaking of straight-up platforming titles, I took a detour from Circle of the Moon to play through The Dracula X Chronicles on PSP.
image
This feels clunkier and foggier than the original Rondo of Blood, but it definitely plays decent tribute to that game. At release, this must have been an incredible offering, considering it comes with unlockable versions of Symphony of the Night and a translated version of the original Rondo of Blood.

I kinda feel the opposite. Sure, "letting you grind" sounds fair enough, but my experience is often that you are practically forced to grind to level up in order to have any kind of chance in some areas.

That's a fair point.

I think the most interesting part of doing everything wildly out of order is learning how many enemies and concepts actually started with the really early games.

Were there any real differences between this and the American release?
Prolly my fave Castlevania but idk there’s so many good things
in almost all the games. Perhaps not the first Gameboy game
but when I originally played it as a child it seemed much better to me.

Quite a few.
Finished off Castlevania III, and the last of the NES games.

Pretty cool, I’ll try and play through it before the end of the month.
I never got to finish “hard mode” in Castlevania 1 since the
game froze. The Xbox itself didn’t, just Castlevania.
It was the second time that game froze.
I hadn’t been doing save states except right before
Dracula in the first play through. So I stopped for that night
and instead started playing the other games the next times
I started again.

If anyone's looking for a legal PC copy of the GBA games and SNES Dracula X, here's the set for a bit over $8.50: https://uk.gamesplan...
And the original Castlevania Anniversary Collection for $3.15: https://uk.gamesplan...
The keys work in the USA, they're just not available in the US store for some reason. If you have a US Gamesplanet account, your credentials work there too.
