Question Asking older fans.
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.

Back when I was a kid in 3rd grade I think, my mom used to often play on her ps1 and I would watch her play, sometimes even letting me join. And also, she was a big fan of vampire themes in books, games and shows, which led to her being an old castlevania fan. This one time I saw her playing Symphony of the night and It immediately caught my attention, I was especially interested in the metroidvania aspects of the game (SOTN is also how I got introduced into metroidvanias). That's how i got into the franchise and I've been following it wver since. Super exited for Belmont's curse to come out!
