Message: [QUOTE="Raziya The Seeker, post: 146618, member: 149867"] I'd definitely recommend [I]Dawn of Sorrow[/I] and/or [I]Portrait of Ruin[/I] first. [I]Dawn [/I]can get a bit grindy at times when looking for monster soul drops, in order to create stronger weapons. That said, the various abilities from said souls are fun, so Gotta Catch 'Em All™. But [I]Portrait [/I]is straight-forward with its progression, and you control both a vampire hunter and a witch and can swap between them. One can even have both characters fight at the same time, where your inactive partner will only make you lose MP on hit and not HP. Plus, the big gimmick of Portrait of Ruin? While the game mainly takes place in Dracula's Castle, it's mostly a hub world of sorts. There are various different main stages within these pocket dimensions in magical paintings. I feel this keeps things fresh. Yes, even three of four "remix" versions of those stages before the finale are still fun. Beware: [I]Order of Ecclesia[/I] is not for Igavania novices. It's a challenging one, and actually fighting through Dracula's Castle later on felt like a slog to me. Healing items and equips aren't as powerful, the game relies on skill, and all of your attacks all use MP. Oh yes. The older I get, the more I find that people who bitch about games aren't the sages we once thought they were in the aughts. I'd rather just form my own opinions over the media I consume, not listen to some outrage peddlers who are probably full of shit. A lovely and underrated quote from the most famous Castlevania. I adore it~ [/QUOTE]
