Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse -- Intro, Stage 1

[sshaxy]

its gonna sound weird but the music at 1:20 sounds like a part of the chorus of boys to men on bended knee. its the same pitch and everything haha

This Music sounds very familiar...

Was this included in Judgement in any way?

[YuuGiJoou]

Castlevania Judgment has more characters from Castlevania III than any other game from in the series represented, so you'll actually hear two others.

In Judgment, "Beginning" (from this stage) is the theme for Trevor Belmont, "Clockwork" (from Stage 2) serves as Grant's theme, and "Mad Forest" (from Stage 3, which will be uploaded tomorrow) is used as Sypha's theme.

Other songs in this game will go on to be used in later installments of the series, like "Aquarius," "Nightmare," and "Riddle."

I sure wouldn't want to live in Dracula's "bad world filled with evil." I wonder how something like that would benefit him. Also, what defines a good nation and a bad nation?

[YuuGiJoou]

Dracula's two titles are the "True Dark Lord" and the "Lord of Chaos"...so maybe he gets a kick out of...wrecking the world as much as possible?

In several games, his reason for being what he is in the first place and doing as he does is simply a matter of spiting God for being unfair, so he decided that he'd live forever and torment everybody else, I guess.

Apparently he's also revived at the "will" of man...so "people are jerks, so I'm coming back to show them how to do it properly."

[Overhazard]

That sounds really strange. So he hates God and just decides to be immortal and all-powerful, so he becomes that way. I want to know how to make myself whatever I want to be.

[YuuGiJoou]

Definitely is strange. The means through which he got this power is rarely ever explored. There's no doubt that he was once a man...but now he's basically a cosmic horror/force of nature.

The closest thing to an explanation was some gem created alchemically that lets him revive himself...with all the logical problems that would imply.

The first game to be about how to undo that effect instead of killing him directly (which has been working out so well all these centuries) would be the last.

[Overhazard]

I would've figured something easier to be done is someone who achieves the sort of power Dracula has with the means Dracula used. That way, the series can still continue.
