Let's be honest, one thing we all love in Castlevania, besides the music, are Ayami Kojima's illustrations. Her style has become sinonym with the franchise as a whole
The original Dracula from Bram Stoker's novel didn't burn in sunlight. He just couldn't use his powers while under the sun. Just a little fact I wanted to share :)
@glitter I suppose the adaptational wimpification of Dracula in the movies that castlevania was based on led to Konami deciding he wasn't threatening enough, so they gave him fireballs and demonic transformations. Then IGA worked his gothic horror Metroidvania magic on him, and the rest is history.
SOTN, in my opinion, was the peak of excellence in the franchise. All the side view hack-n-slash you could want, plus rpg elements thrown in, with an awesome soundtrack and superb visuals! It's one of those rare games you can play over and over and love it more each time you get 200% complete!
@@rikustorm13 tbh dawn is better than aria and I personally think sotn is better than both just due to the insane amount of movement and attack options Alucard has (soma gets a ton but not quite as much as Alucard imo)
It is in the Extra Bossfight of the Sega Saturn version. Right at the start is a platform that can be opened in the Saturn Version. Underneath lies one of the 2 new areas where a Boss is (Skeleton King or so as far as I remember). While fighting the Boss plays this theme
I love how this track played during Richter's beginning stage if you play as Richter in the Saturn version. So much better and just feels so hype playing as Richter since he is the coolest Belmont (:
@@Skorm731 They're currently working in a Devil May Cry anime. Which, if they happen to adapt properly, unlike the 2007 show... would be the greatest thing ever
amazing song, I havent played through SOTN in such a long time this makes me reeeaaally want to. I even forgot when this plays in the game. Amazing game
This is exclusive to the Sega Saturn version and is played in the Underground Garden I believe. The graphics may not be as crisp as the PlayStation version (transparencies for sure) but the music fidelity is much better and higher quality. I have the Saturn version if anyone wants to buy it.... AT A HIGH PRICE. ;)
Love all of the Castlevania games, played most of them and beat them all (now), and this is by far one of my favorite Bloody Tears tracks.. and Symphony of the Night was great.. They took a character who appeared earlier in the series and built (Greatly) on his story.
The Rock meets Dracula and asks him a question: The Rock: "Hey, Drakie... What is a man?" Dracula: "Nothing but a pile of-" The Rock: "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT A MAN IS!" =))
DRACULA: What is the rock of bloody tears?... A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MUSIC,BUT ENOUGH OF THIS, ROCK AND ROLL AT YOU!!! (Bloody tears is my favorite castlevania song of all 😍😍😍😍)
I downloaded SotN off the PSN network, it's my first ever Castlevania game (it seems odd that I've never played one despite completing every Metroid game) and I largely chose this over some of the others like Dawn of Sorrow because of this song. So I'm a bit pissed off to discover this song ONLY plays in the Sega Saturn version >:|
jupiterofthemonkey I hope you kept with it anyway! Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow are two of my favorites in the series (Aria is the first one I beat), so I would also recommend playing those as well. Those two and Rondo of Blood are probably my favorites in the series, followed pretty equally by Super Castlevania IV, the original Castlevania, and Bloodlines!
I would sacrifice my firstborn for an english localization of the Sega Saturn version with the graphics from the psx version. Why hasn't it yet happened?
If I recall the games director was dissatisfied with the Sega Saturn port for multiple reasons and said that a new area and music didn't make for a better game. Still I think unlocking the Sega Saturn version as a new game plus mode might be cool.
@@grantmoore8228 True, but why not make an ultimate version using the best of both worlds? it's not as if technology was a limitation. Plus the extra boss was cool and playing as Maria was way better than the psp port.
Since it seems like its not possible to answer Bourassa's comment, so discussion about it won't appear (I presume), I will just answer in an own comment. The LoS-Spinoff of Castlevania lacks the deep philosophical reasoning and dark, yet styleridden Feeling the series has, up until Soma. Its kind of obvious, that its mainly a marketing move to give the series more appeal to modern audiences, by focusing on a certain popular series, where a gory Barbarian dismembers various creatures and people/gods, by hardly any believable reasoning but bloodthirst and "rule of the strongest". That being said, I believe Lord of Shadows killed the Series. Anyways. Great Song, you can never get enough of Bloody Tears, as its the "Vampire Slayer"-Counterpart of the melodic identity Castlevania has or had. :) Sorry for answering Bourassa, allthough it was obviously disabled, but I hope everything here stays constructive. (And Im not in favour of censoring opinion)
So that's how Lords of Shadow ruined Castlevania. Another thing I noticed about the game is the music, the music is no longer Gothic metal or classical. Thanks for answering my question, without your comment I wouldn't have known. Thank you :)
Dylan Bourassa LOL, don't pay attention to that guy (I'm glad he is open to opinion, thou), but he obviously didn't play the game, or was so desperate to blame it for whatever reasons that he not even cared to put attenton to it. LoS is a fantastic castlevania game. It has much more deeper story than most of the previous Castlevania games..... actually it GIVES THE STORY that starts all the Dracula and Bemont's saga (there are not deep stories on previous games, only the 'I'm a Belmont, I will kill Dracula, you evil!!' one. Don't get me wrong, I love them, I'm just being objective). Something that made me laugh so hard was the "philosohpical reasoning and dark"..what philoshopy was he refereing to, exactly?. Philoshopical speaking, Lords of Shadow beats all previous games easily. It is also much, MUCH darker. I'm not sure what do you mean by "Classical music", there was never "Classic" music on the games. Anyway its no longer metalish, I agree with that (and I miss it too), but the orchestral tune suits much better the Los atmoshpere IMHO (and actuallyl, it could be considered more Classy, even if its not classic niether). Finally, and returning to Xaneorath's statement, I can tell how biased his opinion towards Los is when comparing it to God of War, only 'cause they are both hack n slashers with a fixed camera....thats it, thats literally all similitude they have, one more prove he didn't played LoS (or even GoW..or none!!) and constructed his opinion wihtout fundament. Any person that has actually played them can tell there is a lot of difference in gamestyle AND STORY, I agree Kratos is just a pissed-off barbarian, but Gabriel is so much deeper than that. Remember, in the end, the best way to have an opinion is to make one yourself, not copy-pasting other thoughts, I suggest you to go and play LoS so you can say who is right and wrong in this topic =P. Have a nice day all!.
Thats orchestral music, dude, not Classical...but anyway, if you say that is classical, how can you say there is no "classical" music in LoS?? ITS FULL OF IT! lol =P Just to point it out, Moonlight Sonata is actually Classical, but for other reasons
I would say try both PS1 ver (for original cheesy awesome VA) and PSP version (part of Dracula X Chronicles) for bonus content from Sega Saturn version (but sadly different VA)

Man I remember finding this track when I was like 12 and playing it nonstop. Good times.
20 and still have it on repeat
found it about a year ago. was a freshman, and i couldn't stop listening to it haha!
I have Bloody Tears collections on repeat with different versions of the song so they are even more varied.
@@neoncode6295 🗿
For everyone wondering, this bad-ace song plays when you fight a boss in the sega Saturn version of the game called the skeleton leader.
if i remember, theres another version that plays when you fight richter
**Insert Megalovania joke**
Also plays when you start the game as Richter
THIS my friends...THIS is what a TRUE vampire is.
May this legacy never fade away.
Awesome rendition of Bloody Tears too.
I know this is like 12 hours late a comment
But Alucard is a dhampir, a half-breed with a human, so very much not a true vampire XD

Blood is red
Richter is blue,
but enough talk,
Have at you!

I am so mad that this version didn’t make it to the other versions of the game. It’s so clean and well done 😔

This is probably my favorite version of Bloody Tears.
One of the best bloody tears versions i´ve heard.
Forever and always my favorite version.
When i was a kid, this version was a lot different than the rest of the bloody tears, but looking back at it, this was still an amazing song

SOTN is my favourite Castlevania, though I remember playing the first Castlevania and thinking it couldn't get any better.
This theme would've been neat for the Galamoth fight
Never played Castlevania and I'll probably never be able to, but the music is very good.
you can probably get it on emuparadise. it should run on a desktop. however, the ability to use a controller requires setup
"Never played Castlevania and I'll probably never be able to," Um..nonsense. It's caleld use an emulator and the game rom. This is 2017, not the 80's
Emulate on whatever platform you choose. Now playing the SATURN version might be it's own special quest. ..
maybe (s)he say it becase (s)he want to play it the legitimate way
Symphony is perfectly playable on a phone. So give it a try.
