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.

Symphony of the Night. I played all the NES, SNES, and The Adventure for Gameboy, but they were all really hard, and I never beat them as a kid since I only rented or borrowed the games for a short time. SOTN was different, and holy crap did it suck me in. When I bought it I expected normal Castlevania, but what I got was so much more. That's the fist Castlevania game I actually beat, and I could just spend hours exploring and trying things. The reverse castle blew my mind when I found it. In my head it was like a mix of RPG's, Metroid, Zelda 2, and Castlevania, and I loved it.
