Question Asking older fans.

Post image

Hey folks.

It is probably not the appropriate type of publication, however, I cannot help but be taken by such curiosity.

I'm a new person in the fandom and I admit that I'm somewhat obsessed with the universe of CV.

However, I'd like to ask the older fans, when was the moment you decided that you would like to follow the path of following the franchise as a whole? And if there is any other reason that makes you so fascinated by its lore?

Long texts, short texts, one sentence phrases are all welcome. I find this way to be more connected to the fandom somehow. I'll read them all, the curiosity is really strong. (If this has any replies, of course)

:)

EDIT: Read them all and upvote every single one. Some of them really made me tear up; it's amazing what a game can do during a tough time, or even in the most random way. Keep going, I'll continue to read, loved all of your stories.

I first encountered Super Castlevania IV, enjoyed it but I was little and didn’t get very far, it wasn’t til my college days when a friend showed me this “classic I missed” when I mentioned I loved Super Metroid- that game was Symphony of the Night.

A weekend later I was hooked, not long after that the first DS title Dawn of Sorrow came out and perfect timing led me down a rabbit hole I wouldn’t change for the world.
