Anyone have it yet? Or planning to buy it? Or really give a rat's ass?
I've got my copy, so it's gonna be a long night. D:
I'm such a Castleroid addict :(

And I'm kinda glad they ditched the generic anime art. I'm assuming it's the same artist from Symphony?

I'd start with either Ecclesia or Dawn of Sorrow first, but Ecclesia can be mad hard.
You'll die. ALOT.

How about the art and soundtrack (I mean, it's Castlevania, so the soundtrack has gotta be pretty good, but...)

The art is gorgeous. The portraits look great and the environments detailed. Like I said before, they ditched the anime look and went back to more... mature-looking art, for a lack of a better term. I believe they brought back the artist who did Symphony.
The soundtrack? It's Castlevania; they have a rep to maintain... best soundtrack of the ds games, I think. a good chunk of VO, both in english and japanese.
The gameplay is very much like the others: Metroidvania, Castleroid, Metriodesque... call it whatever. However, there's an area map, so you're not just roaming around Castlevania, but you jump to different areas as well, including a village where you quest/buy stuff/whatever. I'm digging the new glyph system: you can equip a weapon or spell glyph on each arm ( X and Y button). Attacks from either arm uses up mana, which refills over a short period of time. Hearts are still in the game, but they get used up by using special attacks, which vary depending on the two glyphs on your arms. I dunno if you can understand that but... bleh.
I haven't really messed around with the wireless features yet; all I found there were a "Shop" and "Race" mode. Both can be done over WFC and DS-to-DS.
Ugh, i felt like i wrote a review

Same here. I think the only Castlevania game I've spent more than 20 minutes on was Circle of the Moon.
But I am getting this game because Shanoa is hot.
EDIT: Also, new perspective, not restricted to castle, etc etc.

No, don't feel bad. I appreciate you taking the time to write this. The information you gave me was useful and informative... I'll probably get the game on your recommendation, because it sounds like this is a good one.

Oh and another thing: for all the completionists out there, say goodbye to your life. On top of completing the enemy/drop lists, the game awards medals for killing each boss without ever taking damage. I've managed to take out the seven bosses I've encountered so far doing that. Ugh, I'm such a dork

Anyway I finally got to the big "turning point in the plot" part.
Guh, as fun as the first half was, I wish they didn't save all the cool glyphs until now.
Edit: Oh, and if anyone that happens to need any quest items

Let me know what you'll need and I'll stock accordingly

I love the shop thingy, It makes me very very rich.
Next....Is the Training ground and big cave....Oh dear lord...
Off topic....

For the Glyph with the wind I have no idea. I keep seeing get a close to the edge on the right as you can and hold up before landing(I still can't get it). I think the tower ring supposed to help but the description is a lie.

read the new ones, HAR HAR.
Use the Magnes glyph to toss yourself to the right side of the platform; not too hard though, you'll just get flung off.
Hold the up button as soon as you let go of R. It's all a matter of trial and error. It took be quite a few tries to get it.
Woot for 100% Glyphs and Beastiary but missing a few mob drops. I'm only 82.18% on items, :(
As for the last jewel... it's a drop from either the Hall or Cavern... or both.. guh
I finished Great Cavern and Training Hall. Need to do a few more runs to finish the item list... and find a few more drops...
Boss Rush Mode ... I've yet to do

Boss Rush, The Dragon Face, Is the first batch of bosses and is easy if you got the right glyphs prepared before you go in. So Far I got the Rapier and Sword Helm. The both increase the glyph union of said glyph. Decent stats too. I have yet to achieve the super fast time I want though...The second batch of bosses is the skull....And probably has dracula as the final one...

Unless you get some outside help on this one, you're gonna be dying.
A LOT (not as much as MM9, but still).
This isn't really the hardest CV game (could've been if not for the map system and the life-saving Magical Tickets), but it does throw a lot of twists for even the most seasoned CV player.
If you've never played the previous CV DS games, don't worry; Ecclesia takes place before any of 'em. Besides, Ecclesia's intro pretty much covers everything you need to know.
If you do want to get a better feel for the story, you could check out SotN and Aria of Sorrow.

You can probably guarentee there is some area full with moving gears/cogs, filled with tons of spikes and flying medusa heads. You know, the Clock Tower area. As much as they frustrate me, I swear they're in ALL of the portable games... Please tell me there IS an area like that in Order of Eccelsia!?

Yes, along with the other well-known CV locales:
-the Library
-the Caverns
-the Clock Tower (already covered that; guess who's the boss for that area ;))
-the Throne Room (IMO, Dracula's Throne Room in Ecclesia is the most impressive to date!)
I could've mentioned more (like the village, the church, etc.), but these "hot spots" have appeared in the majority of the games, especially in post-SotN games.

Also, the game is pretty good, although I liked PofR more than most people did. I don't know if I like this one better or not. I will say the voice acting was certaintly better in PofR. Vincent actually sounded good, but the shop keeper in this game is laughable.
"You do not have enough to pay for that."
He says that in a way that makes me laugh my ass off. Then there's mr...
"Yo, there you are!"
Who sounds like he's drunk when he talks. Then we get into the reef, where you enchounter an enemy called Saint Elmo, who makes these really really annoying moaning sounds.
"Aaaaaaaaah! AAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
Then we save the Chef from the tower in the prison. He probably has the worst voice in the game. He kinda sounds like Barney the Dinosaur if you ask me. His voice isn't even laughably bad, it's just plain retarded.
"Cooking is all about heart. Just kidding, uh huh."
Oh shut up, you are so annoying. Finally, my last gripe with the voice acting is the Curse Divas.
"Where are you, my beloved."
Considering the fact they were just edits of the Banshees, the voice didn't really fit them at all. When they die, there animation is the same as the Banshee's. Now, if it died by throwing it's arms down and their hair over their face, like die the reverse of how they made intro, it might have fit, but for how they did it, it does not fit.
The game itself is still pretty good though. I liked the sound better in PofR though, too. I like the gameplay of OofE better, though. And they have cooler enemies like Miss Murder. Sorry if I sounded kind of mad, that's just how bad I thought the voice acting was.
Oh yeah, one more thing. In the monestary, there is a Glyph protected by falling puzzle blocks. I can't seem to destroy the blocks fast enough to get the Glyph. How do you get it?

Use magnes to shoot yourself to the end of the platform, then absorb.
The tower ring functions as the hercules ring from POR, it stops you from being knocked back, so it's description is more like a mistranslation, like the ordinary rock (Supposed to be the stone of flight or jumping stone, the gold ring [same mistranslation as POR, doesn't increase luck based on money, increase money found]). Most likley, this game wasn't translated very well. And, for the Death ring, hits always kill you. It was mistranslated, then worded to seem that Shanoa's attacks could auto kill her opponents.
A lot of people don't know that there is a glyph hidden in the training hall.... Also: if anyone needs help with the game, I can help out, just PM me.

I haven't played Dawn of Sorrow, But there are two creatures besides Axe Armor that I've enchountered SO FAR that were in both PofR and OofE: The invisible man and Forneus. I don't know if they were in DofS or not, though. I'm pretty sure Frankenstien's creation was taken from Dawn of Sorrow.
Edit: No it wasn't, but there was an enemy tooken from DofS called Bugbear. Bugbears are NORMALLY supposed to be like big huge Kobald/Gnoll like characters. Bugbear, CastleVania Style, is a souped up Peeping Eye.
