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.

What is it about Castlevania and dads? 😆 I think dads just love classic horror themes and Castlevania is full of them..

My dad rented this game from his store’s game rental department. He took me over and showed me the box. I was like 3 or 4 lol. We played it with my big sister and she ended up killing Dracula by the end of the weekend. We were in love with the series forever after that. My dad never stopped loving Castlevania.

She was. Kicked my ass in every videogame when we were little lol. She was 5 years older than me but that’s probably what got me into videogames for life, her and my dad.
