SotN is the turning point of the CV series, it was the first to have metroid style gameplay and is also one of the best in the series, its also one of the most broken games ever made (some combos in that game made you godly).

CV:Circle of the Moon

I suggest Dawn of Sorrow if you have a DS and liked Aria of Sorrow. I've liked Portrait of Ruin so far but I liked DoS better.

Portait of Ruin is quite good. I wasn't sold on having two characters at once, but the system is there that you NEED two people to make your way through the castle.

I think the reason that Legends is non-canon is not because of quality, but because of plot holes. I haven't played Legends or Lament of Innocence, but from what I understand of their stories, both set up their protagonists (Sonia Belmont and Leon Belmont, respectively) as the first of the Belmonts to fight Dracula. Lament of Innocence is the canon version now.

Does anyone know if Circle of the Moon has been re-canonized? I believe it was de-canonized for similar reasons to the N64 games (plot holes relating to the location/keeper of Vampire Killer), but there are some inconsistencies with PoR that just seem irreconcilable. Wouldn't be too upset (though still a bit peeved) if its not, since its story stands well on its own (what little story there is, anyway). Anyway, I digress. I just really liked CotM.

:objection:
(I always wanted to use that;))
Your information is a clear contradiction to the official storyline of the Castlevania series!
Spoiler: The Game's Quality
The game's quality was never an issue here. The Castlevania Adventure series, also released on the GameBoy, used the same game engine and were released before CV: Legends. Naturally, these games didn't look any better.


Spoiler: Leon's Story: The Short Version
Leon Belmont NEVER fought against Dracula in Lament of Innocence (or any other CV game, for that matter). He fought another vampire (Walter). Long story short, Walter's soul (along with whatever may have given him his powers) would be given to Mathias Cronqvuist, Leon's former comrade, and the mastermind behind the murder of Sara Trantoul, Leon's fiance. This power, along with another power he already possessed prior to Walter's death, would allow him to rise through the ages as the infamous "Dracula" we all know in recent titles.


Spoiler: First to Fight: The "Belmont Conspiracy" (not really)
Both games take place in different time periods. LoI takes place in 1094, long before any record of Dracula existed (both historically and fictionally). Legends takes place in 1450, about 300-400 years after the events of LoI. Therefore, while it was Leon Belmont was the first to swear the oath to kill Dracula, it was in fact Sonia Belmont who was the first to fulfill this oath, having confronting and killing the Lord of Darkness. Considering the time gap between both games, there is no reason why Sonia Belmont's story should've been removed save it be to retain the masculinity of the "Vampire Hunter" lineage. With the exception of Sonia Belmont, every other Belmont who has possessed the "Vampire Killer" whip in the series' history has been male.
Therefore, it is clear that the Belmont clan intends on covering up the tale of the first Belmont to kill their mortal enemy.
Their motive?
Perhaps they wish to keep the women of the series in their "sidekick/damsel in distress" status, relying on them for their magical support. If Sonia's existence were ever brought to light, the men feared that they would've been made obsolete. Why else would they go through so much trouble to hide it?
........
Okay, so that part IS NOT necessarily true. Why Konami hasn't reinserted this game back into the storyline is beyond me. However, the rumor mill did suggest that Legends has not been recanonized due to the game's idea of making the first slayer of Dracula a woman.


If you need evidence....
:takethat:
You only need to check out the Castlevania Dungeon, the ultimate source of all things Castlevania!
Trust me, this site IS NOT hard to find.
This was not the only site I checked. However, it is the most accurate CV site to date.

On the subject of CotM's status, this game was one of four CV games to have been removed from the series' storyline. The other three included:
-Castlevania Legends
-Castlevania 64
-Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness

However, with the release of PoR, every CV game EXCEPT Legends has been re-canonized.
Rejoice, my friend. CotM is official once again.

I wasn't saying that they made the right decision in de-canonizing Legends, just offering a possible explanation. Legends makes it quite clear that the legend of the Belmonts began with Sonia. Even if Leon didn't fight Dracula himself, the legend of the Belmonts would have begun with him.

I do think that this is a poor reason to de-canonize a game, though. I was just offering my theory as to why they did it, not suggesting that they were justified in their decision. For the most part, I agree with you. They can't just go erasing storylines left and right to suit their fancy, and the discrepancy between Legends and LoI is, as you described, completely inconsequential. I think the "We can't have a female Belmont!" explanation is a pretty abysmal reason to remove a game from canon, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's why they haven't reinstated Legends. After all, in all recent games, the female protagonists (when playable) are always magic users, so I wouldn't discount the possibility of that being the reason.

(By the way, thanks for the tip about the Castlevania Dungeon! Yay for CotM!)

If I came off like a raving lunatic/fanatic, I apologize. I just came back from a big party and, after seeing your previous post, found the perfect opportunity to pull a "Phoenix Wright".
You know, the objections and presenting evidence, and so on.
I just got caught up in the moment, that's all.

With that said...
:holdit:
Let me break it down. This is what you wrote:

Lament of Innocence is the canon version now.

This is how I interpreted it:
While we may not know why Legends is no longer canon or how long it will be until it is reinstated into the timeline (seriously, I never thought they would go back and re-canonize the games they've already removed from the timeline), there are a number of plotholes between both games that may have contributed to its current status.

Your last sentence was what prompted me to write my previous post.

To put it simply, there are no contradictions to Legends and the overall Castlevania story. Putting Legends back into the timeline will not hinder anything that hasn't already been set in motion.

Spoiler: Reasons:
-Leon Belmont has already been established as THE first of many Belmont vampire hunters. He was the first to declare war against Dracula, who was at the time his most trusted friend and comrade-in-arms during the Crusades. The events that transpired in LoI was set in motion because of Mathias' "fall from grace", which came about after his own beloved died while he was fighting on behalf of his religion. I guess he thought, "Why would God allow for bad things to good people?", and went a little crazy. In pursuit of his own desires, he betrayed his friend and turned Leon's fiance into a vampire. Ironically, this would be his undoing with the creation of the Vampire Killer. For being an expert tactician, he didn't think too far into that plan.
-Leon's declaration was the start of the Belmont legacy. Sonia's part in the story was no different from Christopher or Simon (IMO, Richter and Julius Belmont had a much larger role in the overall story). When Dracula is around, the Belmonts would come in and kill him, supposedly allowing for peace to reign for about 100 years, with the exception of a cults that try to ressurrect him prematurely.
-I've already mentioned the other details, like the timeline.


All in all, there doesn't appear to be any real plotholes. The possible romantic relationship between Alucard and Sonia is debatable at best (trust me, I know a few who still run with this one), but it's highly doubtful.
If anything, it's more of a Touga/Utena relationship (from Revolutionary Girl Utena). Alucard shows genuine concern for Sonia's well-being, and would do all in his power to keep her from harm. A true chivalrous gentleman, indeed.

The game itself, to be honest, was poorly made and should be redone completely. However, the story is pretty good. The game itself shouldn't be the reason why the story should not exist.

Yeah, I'm a little peeved that Legends hasn't been re-canonized. I mean, how often do you hear of a story that is removed AND reinserted by the same group, and by the same man responsible for removing them in the first place?
The game's coverart is shown in the PoR pre-order artbook, but the story is excluded from the timeline found in the same book.
I'm a fan of Legends, and much like your appreciation for Konami's decision to re-canonize CotM (which was a really cool game for being the Big K's first CV game for the GBA), I wait for their decision to recanonize one of my favorite CV games.
Heck, with Dracula X finally reaching a broader audience in a few months, this is all I have left to wait for!

I understood this to mean that you thought that Legends, which was a poor game, should be reinstated since the N64 games, which were also poor, were reinstated.

You then took my post to mean that Legends and LoI covered the same story with different protagonists (which is not the case) and explained the "error" in my assessment.

So it appears that we both misunderstood each other, but we were in complete agreement the whole time! Bottom line: There's a minor storytelling inconsistency that is trivial at best and makes no difference whatsoever plotline-wise (hell, there's worse plot holes in the series canon). Legends should be re-canonized and/or remade.

:goodman: Pleasure discussing with you! (And no I don't blame you for your previous post. My initial post was poorly worded, and I can see where the confusion came from. I'd have probably done the same thing in your place!)

The N64 games and Circle of the Moon were not reintroduced into the canon. While they were thrown into the timeline in the Portrait pre-order bonus, the timeline was made by Konami of America without IGA's say. Not to mention, they lack a summary.

Also, Legends does harm quite a bit of the story. It directly contradicts Castlevania 3 and Symphony of the Night. Castlevania 3 states that Dracula first attacked humanity in 1476, and Trevor was the first Belmont to fight him. Legends, however, moves this back twenty years and says that Sonia was the first. But why? Symphony says that the only reason Dracula attacked is because his wife was killed- but yet here he is, randomly attacking. Sonia even tells Dracula he lost his ability to love!

So yeah, SEVERLY mucks up the timeline. It's easier to simply remove it than to make new games to explain the incosistencies, or for IGA to say "the events in this game? yeah they were different.".

ANYWAYS, on topic...

I've beaten Harmony, Aria, Dawn and Portrait. I've played a lot of Symphony and I love that the most. I've also played a bit of the first, third and Bloodlines but got my ass kicked, heh.

Hmm...interesting!
I wasn't completely aware of Trevor being the first Belmont to fulfill the oath made in LoI.
There's just one thing that doesn't sit too well w/ me:
In SotN (the ENG version, at least), this incarnation of Dracula seems to be more at peace after being killed by his own son. If this was the case, if he came to terms and accepted Lisa's last words, why would he continue to threaten humanity? Surely, he wasn't bound by any infinite law (unlike Death). Even in his absence, there would be another "dark lord" to take his place.
I could try to go deeper into this, but all joking aside (yes, the above was partly a joke...sort of), Castlevania is full of a number of descrepancies.
Chalk it up to the "ancient texts";P. If they were "translated" correctly, we would get a more accurate picture of the CV storyline.
Outside of the majority of CV games that I've played, I kept track of the other games through the CVDungeon's timeline, which made the effort to chronicle almost every CV game in the series.
I still wish they'd include this "Forgotten Belmont". A re-write wouldn't kill anyone, will it?
Thanks for clearing that up, though. It makes much more sense now.

I once heard a theory that Dracula was so full of rage about Lisa's death that even after hearing her final words, he planned to continue trying. His apology could also mean something like "Forgive me for my actions but I can't stop".

I too would like to see Sonia return- but not in a remake of Legends. It took the Belmonts three hundred years to finally slay Dracula- surely they must have been killing other vampires and demons too. A future game with Sonia could have her against another powerful vampire, sort of like how Portrait initially started.

I guess that by admitting this, he would have to also accept the fact that his quest for vengence was all in vain, just as Ghaleon's quest to avenge Dyne in the original Lunar (from the Sega CD).
If so, a man as proud as Dracula would rather die a thousand deaths than to admit his life's work to be a complete waste.
Perhaps, this was the turning point in Dracula's tale...the kink in his immortal armor that would allow the Belmonts to finally defeat him.
I guess it works....

Actually, Sonia was supposed to be featured in a cancelled Dreamcast game called, "Castlevania Ressurrection", if I'm not mistaken. Oh, well. With the semi-success of the recent 3D CV titles, I think they've worked out most of the kinks.

Well, Dracula only learned of Lisa's last words three hundred years after his first attack, so it can't be what allowed the Belmonts to defeat him. But I think that's a pretty strong theory overall.
