This was the first Castlevania game I fell in love with. Although I played the originals on the NES and the amazing Castlevania IV on the SNES. I missed out on Symphony of the Night because I never owned a PlayStation. My friend let me borrow this game way back in 2004. At the time my consoles were the GBA and the GameCube. I had never played a Metoidvania and being a colossal Metroid fan, it was love at first sight. I spent so many hours playing Aria of Sorrow, so many AA batteries. So much so that my parents got me the GBA adapter for the GameCube. Aria of Sorrow will always have such a special place in my heart and this video shows that you also have that with this game. Fantastic video Belmont!

Currently playing Order of Ecclesia again, and it both feels really well done and underwhelming at the same time. It's hard to put my finger on it, maybe it is the level based progress that makes some areas not make much of an impression, some are just long straight stretches. But Aria is something special, the sequel is fine but the art style make it feel a bit less gothic feeling which Ecclesia did wonderfully even. it's funny, both on the GBA and the DS, the first IGAvania is a solid game showcasing the handhelds capability proper, the 2nd entry is fine but lacks the staying power the first had and the 3rd and last entry gives you something special that sticks. Bloodstained is proof of this because it kinda feels like a hybrid of Order of Ecclesia and Aria of Sorrow

@@oscaralbertococanodiaz2135 I have to dissaree man. I loved the character design and art direction but the over all game felt flat to me. There was some neat ideas with the combat but managing mp was too much of a chore. Shanoa having amnesia and no emotions to boot felt like a cop out to not have to focus on story and the story was weak. Not to mention the "overworld" system was poorly implemented broke the emersion, even Simons quest had connecting areas , towns and mansion and ultimately the castle and the emersion was neve broken minus the day and night message and that was an NES game. Potrait of Ruin i felt was the best game in the DS trilogy. DoS was good but i wasnt a fan of the art style seeing as it followed AoS I was expecting something less colorful and the Rune system held it back i know people hated it alot i personally was ok with it but i get the hate for it.
