13:05 you can see Trevor Belmont's armor on the left side. Looks like Dracula cared enough to make a room for his son containing his memorabilia and weapon.
Mirror of fate is nothing but a feeling. A feeling of sadness, sorrow. A felling that no other game can give you. A feeling that is more than nostalgia. A feeling that will never get old... For me the whole lords of shadow trilogy will never die. It will always have a special place in my heart.
Ahh…see…there’s where you’re wrong my friend. For The Lords of Shadow Timeline IS in fact Canon in its own right! Although it is completely different from the original two timelines, being a entirely new Universe altogether with its own unique history and lore whilst also referencing and bearing parallels to the previous ones!
You think *this* is bad? Leon Belmont left behind his church and title to save his fiance Sara, only to find out after defeating the five monsters guarding Walter's room, that she'd already been bitten. She decided to give her soul up to create the Vampire Killer and he was forced to kill her. After finally defeating Walter, Mathias (his best friend) showed up and revealed that he used him to become a vampire in order to spite God. All of this happened in a single night.
@@alyssajusuf9764 nop, he never realizes that neither the brotherhood, that's why in lords of shadows 2 The Belmont of that time calls Gabriel "the last Belmont"
I hope Simon realized that Alucard was his father, Trevor....It makes the cutscene 'Separate Ways ' more poignant. (Cue the Journey song of the same name)
34:33 I kinda prefer the expressions in the 3DS version here. In that version, Dracula smirked instead of snarling, and when he says “it’s been a long time”, his face drops into a sympathetic frown, like he really did miss his son in all the time that he didn’t see him. And in 38:56, when Alucard says “Your actions will be guided, manipulated”, his eyebrows are raised instead of lowered in a scowl, like he was terrified of how powerful fate’s grip on him and Simon was.
This was my first ever Castlevania game. And I completed 100% a few months back and I had an absolute blast.can’t wait to try the rest of LoS trilogy later.
@@theyoutubeacolyte969I have finished the rest of the trilogy by now, and I can honestly say that I had a blast with all three games. Might play them all again later. :D
Everyone is talking about Gabriel being the first Pokemon master but is nobody gonna talk about dat Jojo reference (AKA point out that Simon Belmont is the first Standuser?)
I still don't understand why they chose to make the cut scenes look like a tell tales game, or why the faces look so goofy. But hey it's got lore so whatever.
+Gamer's Little Playground I mean I don't hate the game, (and yeah DS graphics are very limited) but it's just weird because I was playing a bit of the LoS2 before I was watching this.
I honestly see this happening In a Hollywood adaptation of Castlevania. No joke I think it be a good dark humor scene of Simon fighting off a group of Hunchbacks/Fleaman trying to eat him 😂 10:31
Duke Fleed Actarus have to disagree with you. The original timeline is dark also. For in lament of innocence, leon belmont the first of the belmont clan had to kill his betrothed to make the vampire killer whip complete, also his best friend mathais cronqvist became dracula due to him losing his wife elizabetha.
I'm revisiting it cause I have been in a vampire mood even watched Dracula untold again. and started the second game again just yesterday after watching the 3 hr movie of the first game as a recap. I hope a 3rd is released. With a cross play with the 4 horseman from darksiders.could be fucking sick on new consoles.
They wanted to make him look rougher. They didn't want to give Simon his traditional pretty boy look, so they gave him a beard and scars to compliment the barbarian design. I also like how they gave Sypha a red hair to explain who Simon got his hair color from. He is mama's boy through and through.
Gabrial/Dracula black hair, Marie black hair, Trevor black hair, Trevor with a redheaded sypha belnades seems to produce a redheaded Simon, at last check sypha was a witch/sorceress and was blonde in the origional series. But when the games were made Castlevania judgement shows Simon as being a combination of fair hair or redhead, not exactly fair to the series.
@@BelmontClan I wouldn't count Judgement as a source of canon. The only other game that had Simon with red hair was Castlevania Chronicles for the PS1, another retelling of Castlevania 1 from the NES. Hell, Super Castlevania 4 for the SNES had Simon with black hair.
Jarock316 I don’t consider it cannon in all honesty since they made grant look like a mummy with a knife bracelets, Cornell looked cool decked out in head to toe black armor in werewolf motif. Sypha sporting a dress accenting mega cleavage and a crucifix
Unpopular opinion: this is better than the netflix series. The animation may be terrible, but here Dracula is a lot more complex than "I'm sad my wifey dead" and there's no gross displays of racism
i have to agree with you that with age you start to sympathize with this version of the Castlevania timeline as you see it closer to an actual human story. I myself being a giant Castlevania fan have to admit that the Lords of Shadow timeline is more intresting because it doesn't have that "oh dracula is evil because he wants revenge on humanity, lets all kill him" flavor. This story is much MUCH darker and more mature and relatable. It's more phylosophically complex in my opinion and more compelling. It makes you care for the characters more since they actually have a personality outside of their title. The netflix adaption, however, is just very different. Being tied to the original story it has a different atmosphere, more japanese/ anime-ish. I prefer the Lords of Shadow continuity, with this game being my favorite, hoping for LOS 3!
@@KalvinEllis eh not really, at the end of LoS 1 he is still believe in Good and Faith, just after he defeat the Forgotten one that his Humanity is vanish.
okay so. let's say the whole LoS story makes sense. Dracula aka Gabriel Belmont came back to life again somehow after being stabed with a vampire killer. alucard did not tell simon they're relatives so the belmont keep on breeding acursed children. then we met Víctor belmont who lets kill himself by a satan accolyte while trevor witness his grand son's (x2?) demise. in the end Dracula and his son remain alive, ready for more creepy adventures in the modern mortal world. a world without powerful lords like the Death and Satan. no doubth they'll meet Víctor's son or perhaps grand son at some future point..
@@Jarock316 No. There's still a Belmont, Gabriel. Though still a vampire in the end, but with the help of Marie, he put aside his dark nature and embrace who he once was again.
There's only one Vampire Killer, and the one Simon was using was not it. It was another combat cross that wasn't nearly as powerful. But yeah... the story DOES make sense when you look at it from a top-down perspective.
the history doesnt make much sence, all was more or less good untill alucard last part, when he was in the bring of death the mirror showed him gabriel's past, then he knew that he was his father and then he was revived by gabriel's blood, but when he wakes up he still whants to kill him?why? doesnt he know that his mother was killed by a lord of shadow that was a former founder of the brotherhood?why not thell his son the truth? and some other questions floded in my mind.
Because his father transformed in something he loathes, a monster that needs blood an to suck on the lives of others to survive. He still pities his father and accepts he wasn't a bad man, but he wants to end this for good. The next game explains this better. Why not tell his son? because he doesn't want his some to be attached to his cursed destiny or feel the same way he felt about his own father. That is shown when he told him to trow the necklace he gave to him when he was little. You just have to pay attention to details.
“Someone for whom your very existence brings shame upon me and my family, Devil. You are an abomination upon this earth! I know who and what you are and this day I claim vengeance! For my mother’s murder!”
I think his Father didn't want to burden him with what happened to his Father. But I hope Simon realized that Alucard was his dad, protecting him with everything step he took within his Grandfather's Baronial home.
Now that I understand this, I prefer this than the anime. 😅We need a Netflix reboot. It's because of the main character backgrounds I've read that confused me so much I had to come here and watch the game. Such a huge character deviance in the anime. It's unecessary to unfollow the original.
Actually the Netflix series is much closer to the original story than this is. This is a reboot that changed many character backstories like making Trevor the son of Dracula instead of a decendant of Leon Belmont who was a friend of Mathias who became Dracula in the original Canon. I enjoyed playing as Dracula and LoS2 is one of my favourite Castlevania games but the original Canon storyline that the animated series follows is a lot better.
@@kerrodjohnson5098 Actually the Netflix version is more further away from the original Canon than this. At least here they act like characters from Castlevania and not some degenerate 14 year old swearing and trying to be edgy and quip with Marvel humour.

kryztyn127 well there’s also the mirror chamber he turned into a private mausoleum for him, but there’s that, too.
Slash Command Studios the mirror is also in the throne room
@@Arkaeus04
Nope, tallest tower. Mirror isn't in the Throne Room even in LoS2.

57:12 dude, that "my son" touched deep into the feels, damn :'(
Gabriel didn't realize that Trevor was his Son until after the battle. A sad moment indeed
@@Frankcastlepunisher74 Yup, and then he used that rage to practically burn the Brotherhood of Light to it's core.
I felt bad for the Belmont family, they didn't deserve all this to happen to them.
this game and the lords of shadow series is non-canon. So you dont really have to worry about anything that happens in these games

The relationship between the Belmonts kinda gave me the Mishima vibe from the Tekken series.
AznKei1 Ja, but at least here they talk about the problem, the Mishima family only kick the ass of the one they have in front to solve everything
This is an alternate continuity in which a belmont is dracula.
This whole game is nothing more than a Shakespearean tragic play for me. I like it!
This game was the best example of "Graphics aren't anything"
