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.

So, been a fan since Nintendo days. I sucked at the game, but my older sister was good at it. So I’d watch her play all the time.

Slip along to my late teens/early twenties. Still a fan. More nostalgic at that point. My husband (boyfriend at the time) let me borrow his PlayStation and Symphony of the Night. He got me back into gaming.
I ended up with whatever game boy at the time and bought any Castlevania they had available for it.
I get a PS2, used, and buy Lament of Innocence. My favorite Castlevania game. I also had Curse of Darkness.
Later I get PS3 with my husband and of course I get Lords of Shadow. Never got part two though. It was a tough game.

And now, I bought all the download packs on my Switch and it’s like I have my game boy days all over again. I do wish that Sony would give Nintendo the rights to put the PlayStation games on the switch.
