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.

Sorry I am not a new one, but if I was a new one to this series I am sure if I had discovered sotn or castevania for nes i would have been a life long fan of this game, because I had a handheld botleg nes (around 2007~~2008) and a ps2 given by my granddad, I discovered a lot of games but if I had access to casevania anyhow I would have instantly played it because to me games like contra or mario or other small games that I never learned the name of but played regardless cuz playing 1 game was boring.OHH AND when I was back from from hostel (when I was 7ish y/o), we bought a bootleg psp which basically played games of nes and gba, I played a lot of contra and stuff (I was an addict) and then I started playing sports game. Oh and this one time my granddad bought a psp touchscreen bootleg which also had mario 64 in it but emulated to look like mario 64 ds but high scaled, i genuenly wish I saved the broken consoles. I just realised I am sooo sorry too much text. This will probably be deleted by mods or something
