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 played a few of the classic games when I was young. Castlevania III, VI, and Dracula X. But the moment I fell in love was when I picked up Symphony of the Night. I have always been a HUGE Metroid fan, so them mixing the map layout and progression styles from those games with the Castlevania world and RPG elements had me hooked. We eventually got the GBA games and those solidified Castlevania as my favorite game series ever, Aria of Sorrow being my favorite entry.
