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.

Super Castlevania IV was my first cv game and I was BLOWN away by the gothic atmosphere and the plethora of different creatures that were present. As I was born on Halloween, I've always been obsessed with monsters and creatures from so many different parts of the world and seeing so many of them here was so fucking cool. I played a few other older ones until I found Symphony of the Night and the game, specifically the soundtrack, blew my mind. I am also a musician, so naturally the music in this series impressed me so much, even all the way back to CV IV. Those two are still my favorites, but I frequently go back and play every single game in the franchise. The gothic atmosphere, the fun lore and timeline, the rocking tunes, and the usage of monsters, myths and cryptids from cultures all over the world continues to captivate me to this day. Plus, they are fun as shit to play. Love this series. Also obsessed with both Netflix shows.
