Soma: "All right...what characters did you make again?" Julius: "Human Paladin" Yoko: "Human Sorceror" Alucard: "Dhampyr Magus. But I'm supposed to join the party later." Soma: "Okay, let's begin. You drive up a chilly road surrounded by a snowy forest, Up ahead is a mostly deserted village, and a gigantic castle in the distance is projecting its shadow in front of the full moon..."
I don't know which possible interpretation of this I prefer: that the Sorrow duology is actually just a retelling of a particularly epic DnD session, or that it actually happened in-universe and the gang became friends after their adventures together and hang out and play DnD from time to time
I always found it weird whether you play as Soma or in Julius mode, that Abaddon comes after Death. You’d think Death would be the final triumph card or the last wall of defense or something like that
Is this your only Castlevania game? *In most games, Death isn't the second to last Boss* , it is (in best case scenario) the Third to last boss like here. In Aria of Sorrow, Death isn't even the third to last boss LOL.
@@mammothplant Death is 3rd to last in CV2(Where there's 3 bosses in total) CV3 and Bloodlines, 4th to last in Rondo, non-existant in Gameboy and Arcade games.
And still no explanation to how that thing came to exist. Frankly I like it better that way, leaves a sort of mystery to one of the most terrifying bosses in the series.
About the only differences are: > You are not fighting against Dario a second time. > You are not fighting against Menace. > No dialogue? > You are fighting against Soma.
Some music changes(Beginning, Bloody Tears and Vampire Killer in some areas), dialogue when you recruit Yoko and Alucard and before the final battle(which changes depending on who you went in with)
There are also cutscenes, but there are only six: 1. Julius meets up with Yoko in her shop 2. Julius meets up with Alucard 3. Cutscene before you fight Soma if you used Alucard when you entered the portal in the abyss leading to him 4. cutscene before final boss battle if you used Julius to enter the portal 5. Cutscene before final boss battle if you used Yoko when you entered the portal 6. A short cutscene of Yoko, Julius and Arikardo watch the castle crumble after killing Soma
In addition, I'd like to point out that Julius also Shoryuken'd the reborn Dracula in the chin to finish him off. Headcanon: this is EXACTLY how he beat Dracula in 1999, too.
Maurizzio Bravi it throws knives looks flamboyant and it stops time. It wouldn’t be the first Jojo reference considering you can literally get the stone mask in symphony of the night.
Fal Kaëlis same here, using Julius is amaizing, Yoko is cool, but when you Alucard, and he joins your party, good that was incredible, a really big twist in the history
I'm sorry but the way Soma says Belnades is just so funny to me. He says Julius's and Alucard's name with such malice and for Yoko its just like "oh hey wassup"
I like to think that part of Soma still remembers and doesn't want to attack Yoko because just like what she said in AoS, he's like a younger brother to her
I REALLY wish they would make a collection game of Castlevania. Just EVERY Castlevania game ever made in one. This way you dont gotta have all kinds of consoles and tons of Castlevania games just to play them. PLEASE JUST MAKE IT ALREADY!!!
I REALLY hope they do. That would be awesome. They could charge $150.00 for it and Ill be first in line. Would love to see the normal version of SOTN and a FX upgraded version of it in the same bundle. SOTN is STILL my fav game ever. N thank you VERY much for the info
Love the nutshot finish at 4:55. This is definitely my favorite iteration of Dracula in this series. It's a shame Konami went all Psycho & broke up the original team.
I played this on my ds lite when i was 5 or 6, and i loved this game! Oh nostalgia! However, my brother brought it to school with him, and someone stole it. Thanks for the nostalgia, though!
@@dorianjames3202 Actually, thinking back not exactly. It's been a while since I played, so my memory's a little fuzzy. But at that ending, we didnt know it was a doppleganger(only revealed if you're on the path to the True End), and Soma goes crazy only because he thought Mina died so....
There's a lore-related reason in Balore's case. His left eye fires lasers uncontrollably, which presumably hurts him and so he needs to use it sparingly.
About Dmitrii, he also copies the powers of Belmont and Fernandez.. How unbelievable. In Julius Mode is Soma revives Dimitrii or just a dimitrii clone?
Matias Igancio Quintana Vilches this is Julius Belmont mode, on this mode, you don't need to do the seals, but history-wise, it is the bad ending when Soma Cruz choose the dark path.

Please write more of this. I dig it!
4:55 BOOT TO DA NUTS
TripleHate33 Dario's death sound effect was totally worth it
Holy shiy
*Dario gets fucking nutted.*
wait this ain't no bar fight
9:58 Yoko did it again
9:58 kick to the nuts effective against everything confirmed
Random Kid: Zephyr's got Nards! :O
9:49 Did... you just uppercut a knife?
Dario and Zephyr scream because their nuts are now broken
That was a very Jackie Chan thing to do. He deflected it with his fist!
This game has some really cool boss designs.
Actually, some of the bosses here are already used or will be re-used on future Castlevania games after this.
It sure did. Only thing I missed was Ayami Kojima's art style. Did not dig the anime redesigns at all.

This comment was way ahead of it's time
Both her and the Succubuses do that!

Note that soma could do this to if he had the ability to super jump
@@trashedupmeme7429 at the time he didn't
He is very weak

@@unnamedvisitor1649There is an explanation, apparently it was a peaceful creature that was tortured to become a weapon.
I feel like they put more effort into the Soma Cruz battle that the normal final battle.
Lanky macCrazyhair Corrupted Soma needed more moves and familiars
Ha
@@soulcrona5650 yeah there are a lot of souls soma could’ve used but instead they made the fight easy and repetitive :(

About the only differences are:

Maurizzio Bravi it throws knives looks flamboyant and it stops time. It wouldn’t be the first Jojo reference considering you can literally get the stone mask in symphony of the night.
Zephyr is basically Dio brando. By the way, for me, the dark Soma end is the true end.

If dio fucked edward scissorhands
So is Soma. The slouch, the wine chalice, the pose...
As much as i like the happy ending the bad ending feels more right considering that Belmont will be the one to end it all
So, letting Dmitri and Celia escape is part of your best ending?
Rahab as a boss fight always felt funny to me because its basically just a toaster in a bathtub
I'm sorry but the way Soma says Belnades is just so funny to me. He says Julius's and Alucard's name with such malice and for Yoko its just like "oh hey wassup"

8:54 Dio Boss fight
duuude, your dodges are pixel perfect
Will we be getting Julius and yoko only run throughs?
What are those centipedes that Dark Lord Soma summons called?
What was nice is that while I was watching this video an ad played of a guy doing a cover of the original Castlevania music.
I've never notice this until now, but Alucard is not using his Twilight Cloak...
I LOVE PUPPET MASTER AND GERGOTH THE MOST!!!!!!!!!!
6:39 here it is don’t waste ur time.
Seeing Dracula's second form becomes a lot more uncomfortable in this situation when you realize that thing used to be Soma. _Sheesh..._
I like when you flew to the top of Gergoth's boss room, only to just jump kick all the way back to the bottom, lol
4:54 Uuuh, an utter destruction. In all means >_
what emulator are you using? it looks so good
you're great!
Is it possible to CHANGE THE ORDER of the three playable characters? For example:Alucars, Yoko and Julius. Is it? Or not?
What texture or filter did you use to make the game look so good on you??
Julius mode looks hot. I got the game but never tried that
the very last move he did was a shoryuken.

Damn, even Dio is in a Castlevania game. Why does he still have the need to call himself Zephyr here?
plus your videos are great

...I see you, Konami. Packin’ in Moai heads as usual.
What are you playing this on? It looks so smooth
Its a DS emulator called "Drastic" for mobile. Can play it on pc with bluestacks
It's very awesome in mode Julius
So that’s how I should fight the fire demon...
una patada de yoko casi iguala al vampire killer? que maravilla
19:23 I’m assuming this is a timeline where Soma failed to defeat Chaos
No, this is a result of Ending 2.
TLDR:-
Ending 1: Dario dies
Ending 2: Mina dies
Ending 3: True End. Everyone lives (except the bad guys)
ChaosMissile well I don’t play mush Castlevania, so I wouldn’t know
ChaosMissile Mina dies in the second ending?

Ah, you found my comment. Finally. I’ve been looking for it.
5:03 6:38 my favorites
The AOS Julius mode wasn't so good because Soma (Dracula) was not the final boss. In this game, you fight Soma instead of the normal final boss.
And of course a Belmont defeats demon Dracula with a uppercut. But it's more effective cause it's Julius DRACULA SLAYER Belmont naturally.
alucard looks so feminine in his sprite
Gergoth thicc tho
About Dmitrii, he also copies the powers of Belmont and Fernandez.. How unbelievable. In Julius Mode is Soma revives Dimitrii or just a dimitrii clone?
""Fernandez""
Ah yes,the new castlevania character,Fernandez
9:08 Dio is that you?

How did you manage to skip the magic seals?
Matias Igancio Quintana Vilches this is Julius Belmont mode, on this mode, you don't need to do the seals, but history-wise, it is the bad ending when Soma Cruz choose the dark path.

did no-one notice hie health went down at 17:59?
never mind it seems to happen every time he levels up...
Keep in mind this was all on a Nintendo DS cartridge lol.

9:02 this is a jojo reference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
haha the bosses are well made
Definitely better than the main game!
Should be put on playstation 4 and PlayStation 5
