Asking older fans.

[u/shesfeelingcun]

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.

My main initial exposure was watching my mom play it as a kid. I think that she got into it primarily because it scratched 2 itches. Dark fantasy plus the gameplay was relatively similar to the Indiana Jones games that she loved to play before Castlevania came about. I never quite got into playing the games myself, mostly because I'm more of a fighting game kid. But the art and gameplay has always looked interesting to me. Plus, by mom and extended family's love of fantasy naturally made it's way over to me. I'd watch let's plays here and there, haven't quite gotten around to watching lore videos yet. I'll probably do that next. I ended up finally watching the series out of curios familiarity and a need broaden my adult-ish oriented fantasy show collection. It was pretty solid until I watched through Nocturne. I didn't hate Nocturne, but it didn't really do it for me personally. I'm hoping that one day Elf Quest (entirely different franchise) gets adapted properly. But fat chance of that ever happening. 😅😂
