I always wished Simon's Quest would be remade as one of the more recent-styled castlevanias.

Oh, the Chronicles version is so grand and epic (first time I've heard this one). Damn, I wish I had that game. Great job!

Yeah, but we haven't even seen him do that. I think Julius might be more immediately remembered, if he got a cool trademark tune. Hell, even Christopher has his own theme song.

On that note, my order would be Trevor, Juste, Simon, Leon, Julius, and then Richter, my least favourite (but still cool). I didn't count Christopher, since they never gave him a distinguishing personality or appearance.

Well, here, it seems to be that way. I just turned on my copy of Portrait of Ruin, and "Theme of Simon Belmont" sounds more like Chronicles, only less grand. It doesn't sound laid-back, as Tiamat has presented it. Perhaps he's going off of a different version, or used the wrong song altogether, because it definitely sounds different from mine.

[AdoreYouInAshXI]

@Mitsuraga How can you think it was a cheaper version? Other than it being the same song, it sounds completely different. Portrait of ruin sounds laid back and just relaxing... Chronicles sounds way louder and more dramatic, both are great but they sound very different.

@AdoreYouInAshXI

Chronicles makes my #2. I think the Portrait of Ruin version was just a cheaper-sounding version of the one featured in Chronicles.

@lolzallen

Yeah, they could make it 3D or 2D since either way, they'd have to rebuild it from the ground up, inherently fixing a lot of the game's problems, while still keeping it true to the experience, Very much like Super Castlevania IV to the original Castlevania. Best of all, though, is that they'd best use Ayami Kojima's design of Simon. Curiously, Simon's sprite in Simon's Quest had a red tunic and had a lot of black. Kojima-san could have very well used that sprite as reference.

Simon definitely has the most epic theme of all the Belmonts. So epic it actually sends chills down my spine. And it always pops up in my head when I walk into a very gothic environment like a cathedral.

@AdoreYouInAshXI Actually I thought that the Bloodlines version was the best of all. And I have compared all of the official versions.

[AdoreYouInAshXI]

Super Castlevania 4 was the best version.. Portrait of ruin was pretty good too

[MissingnoTheGreat]

Next time, add a fade effect in between songs.

Me too. My first Castlevania. Bloody Tears haunted me entire decade ! At the end, I remembered the greatness of this music, but i forgot in what game it was !! Also, SQ has a "fresh" aura in Castlevania series, by exploring lakes, mountains, forests, cimetaries, villages... and the scary mansions !

And the music ! Bloody Tears, Silence of the Daylight, Messenger of Darkness, Duelling of Doom, Monster Dance, Within those castle walls !
