Oh, so it was supposed to be "Olden Talk" instead of "Engrish". But does the rest of the game have Olden Talk? I don't think I recall hearing any "Thou" like the US localization of Dragon Quest. So at least not that old. It bothers me a little because it sounds phonetically identical to "What [sound] do you hear?" 😂
Am I understanding it correctly that it means "what are you doing here" or maybe "what do you do here"? If so, it's interesting that it's identical to the structure used in Swedish (and some other languages I assume).
"As you can see, this is a PlayStation Black disc. Cut number one contains computer data, so please don't play it. But you probably won't listen to me any way, will you"
This game is so inherently strange and goofy, makes for a hilarious stream/let's play experience, always. _Especially_ for first timers. Well that and Nova Skeletons. If you know you know.
Dude, I just recently rebeat this game not too long ago! I had no idea Jared would EVER get around to playing it, with his other playthroughs and backlog and whatnot. I'm SOOOOO hyped to see him experience this for the first time! Now, all that is left is for him to play Alundra on PS1 and all will be well with the world. Ahhh, a guy can dream...
Fun fact: the "salt" subweapon is Vibhuti, localized as "bibuti". It's sacred ash in Hinduism. "What do you here?" is also grammatically correct. It's effectively the same as the modern English "What are you doing here?"
Yup. Although, funny to see the chat arguing with each other so sure that it's "Salt" lol And leave it to Jared to take the low hanging fruit and see it as coom. In my 34 years I don't think I ever once saw it as coom........
@@xMaGuSx888 I was the dork who read the manual all the time as a kid so I knew it was ashes but didn't know wtf it really was supposed to be for years.
@@Chamomileable Right there with you, bud. I'm still bummed games no longer come with manuals lol Used to love reading them in the car on the way home from the store as a kid.
Man is it hard to get perfectly legal, legit tech handed down to us from back when our grandparents were around, to work with modern computers. Well done, Jerd! That's my hip and handsome 20something year old streamer panther.
The massive map, the silly librarian, the drown pikemen, the frog's pizza, the clock room's exits, falling off the elevator, finding the fairie, living the nightmare, the fairie pointing out a wall, the unexpected ending . . . your reaction was priceless XD
Good thing for the VOD channel, I stopped the stream at 2 hours in cause I had to do other things with the intention of finishing it later (I hate how Twitch has no pause or rewind feature) and it mysteriously vanished.
One of the most fun things of seeing someone play this game without significant previous experience is that they don't yet know that there isn't a proper single mode of progression That Doppleganger boss was like my 4th or 5th that I faced in my playthrough awhile back on the Xbox version
@4:12:28 - The common-sense solution would have been to check the other vertical room to see if there was another gear switch that you missed, seeing as three of them had already clicked. I haven't watched the rest of the video yet, but judging by my cursory examination of scenes from the next two hours, I assume that Jared essentially abandoned this puzzle for the time being and won't return to it until a later upload. Will the Clock Tower become this run's Shadow Temple? Tune in next stream to find out!
6:21:45 You didn't die a single time if I recall, you actually are good at games. Despite poking fun at yourself. Congrats on your first time through the first half. I think you'll love the second half.
I've been waiting for this ever since Jerd first dropped hints that he wanted to do a Symphony of the Night playthrough. Partly because I've never played it, but have been too lazy to play it myself.
That mist sound effect is as close to "Alucard pulls out his magic map" as we're gonna get. Also hah, pizza frogs, they're the Punk Frogs, friends of the TMNT
Who Remembers putting this game in their CD Player, and getting "This is a playstation black disc!" and then an alternate banger of the castle intro song!? Edit again: finally finished the whole VOD Jared, if you see this: I had a Gamepro magazine that had an article going over the history of the Castlevanie series up to SOTN for the games review and release. I finally got a PS1 in Christmas of '99 and absolutely bought this as one of my first games. I played it SO much... but I always felt like there was more game beyond the Richter fight. Especially since some of the screenshots had shown Alucard with way more HP, and even some of the bosses in the "next section of the game." I was so stuck on how to get there... but watching you stream yesterday, I KNOW I'm not spoiling anything anymore... I SUDDENLY realized the armor I had gotten that I read as "Spike BEARER" was actually a "Spike BREAKER" armor. I got my silver ring... found out how to get passed Richter... AND MY MIND WAS BLOWN. A whole new castle, secretly hidden passed what I THOUGHT was the ending of the game... I'll never forget that surprise and it's why this is one of my favorite games, even if I know it's overhyped and cliche now... it was something completely NEW back then. I hope you got a lot of enjoyment out of this, cus I had a hell of a time watching, and I think I'm gonna go replay this now!
The fact that you were legit smiling and laughing more in this video than most other ones shows how great a game this is. Like, they defined future games of the franchise and haven't really done much beyond this.
I know it just started but I am kinda shocked that after Jerd found a secret at the start of the game he hasn’t been attacking walls and floors just on the off chance of “wall chicken” or secrets
I've not seen much of this game but I have some familiarity with the start of it at least, and it is only on this playthrough that I've thought to ask why Dracula has so many crosses as decoration in his castle. Aren't vampires supposed to hate those?
Dracula used to be a devout christian, having been a church knight prior to his unlife. There are numerous implications that his momentary peace, falling in love with Lisa, Alucard's mother, temporarily made him pious again. Until, well, the tragedy happened and the man doubled down on his dark lordship.
@@KaedeLanyo That's actually quite tragic. It also makes me realize that I have never read the actual story of Dracula and know practically nothing about it beyond how it gets referenced in pop culture.
I would say the Xbox 360 & PS3 exclusive to SotN is the best way to play the game. Mainly for cutting down load times, can play as Ricther & Maria ( PS3 version only ), an whole lot of save files, an more powerful fps or resolution & other contents.
Watched until the 40 minute mark and you solved an back tracking issue for me (I got lost with forward progress). Yeah by the time you read this, this little tidbit of info won't really mean much but the game is very unique for its start. You beginning stats will depend on how well you do in the first intro fight. So what happens if you don't get hit at all? You'd have to be very lucky to find out.
Watching jerd fumble the spells for so long knowing how lenient the inputs are for it, hes just pushing square way to early. or not doing an entire half circle. Can only wait until he figures out soulsteal or the 4 summon spirit with a hold Mid motion :p
So, my first two thoughts are this: "Hey, why isn't Jared using his insanely overpowered Item Crash power to murder Dracula", quickly followed by "Oh, if you don't use Item Crash you can actually die here? I've literally never seen that happen in the 20 years I've been a fan of this game".
Isn’t the Sega Saturn version considered better due to a castle with more areas and a button just for item usage? Edit: What is your style of music, Projared?
Dawn of sorrow was very action oriented like, trying to evoke the classics. Portrait is in the middle, has more moody sections but still feels like an action cartoon. I think ecclesia was on the money with mood, but tried to be a cross between classic and modern, repetitive stages, really affected the enjoyment
Ive never seen someone buy spells in this game before. Everyone ive ever encountered before did what I did. Button mash like its a Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat game until spells happen. Didnt even know spell scrolls existed.
Its like listening to a child playing on his gameboy the whole day while trying to concentrate on work with that magic-rod sound, f*kin hell... Nice game though
I saw some people in the chat talking about Harmony of Despair, figured I would mention the game isn't dead. The PS3 version is active and you can still find people to play with. Sadly, my PS3 died on me, so I will not be one of them for a while, but if anyone wants to play some HoD legitimately, grab it on PS3. Also, the "fanmade" one is really janky and feels terrible, looks terrible... I prefer the original, despite the lack of new content.

Jared shouting human form whenever he changes from the bat will never get old.
He did it! He finally DID IT! Bravo ProJared. It's a classic.
Had to stop watching the stream to go for a Jubble dump... so thankful for the VOD :D
Really missed out on the stream for this. I love SoTN and is still one of my all time favorite games alongside FF9 and MGS1
"What do you here?" is like "What seek you here?" Older syntax but still valid.
Oh, so it was supposed to be "Olden Talk" instead of "Engrish". But does the rest of the game have Olden Talk? I don't think I recall hearing any "Thou" like the US localization of Dragon Quest. So at least not that old.
It bothers me a little because it sounds phonetically identical to "What [sound] do you hear?" 😂
Am I understanding it correctly that it means "what are you doing here" or maybe "what do you do here"?
If so, it's interesting that it's identical to the structure used in Swedish (and some other languages I assume).
What a treat it is watching you experience this game for the first time. I hope you'll play through the rest!
"As you can see, this is a PlayStation Black disc. Cut number one contains computer data, so please don't play it. But you probably won't listen to me any way, will you"
Love that jam!
Been absolutely waiting for this. The fact your playing and seeing everything for the first time is even better, loving this so much!
This game is so inherently strange and goofy, makes for a hilarious stream/let's play experience, always. _Especially_ for first timers.
Well that and Nova Skeletons. If you know you know.
Oh god that PS1 eargasm
2:15
So stoked for this. I love watching 1st playthrough of this game. It’s always entertaining.
I'm really happy to see you're finally getting to this one. I just wish this was a series, but I'll still happily munch
In my top 3 games of all time, played it dozens of times, including the cell phone port. I'm going to love/hate watching you play this.
The mad lad is finally doing it!
I can't believe I never knew about the wall meat above the jubble dump relic.
Let's fucking go. Tagging this to watch later, been waiting years for this!!!!
I love how Jared kept activating the Holy Rod's special attack, but just doesn't even notice he's doing it.
It's only on the screen for a couple frames, so I wouldn't doubt him not noticing it
Have been looking forward to this one for a long time!
Dude, I just recently rebeat this game not too long ago! I had no idea Jared would EVER get around to playing it, with his other playthroughs and backlog and whatnot. I'm SOOOOO hyped to see him experience this for the first time!
Now, all that is left is for him to play Alundra on PS1 and all will be well with the world. Ahhh, a guy can dream...
Omg 😯 this happened! It's one of my favorites.
Fun fact: the "salt" subweapon is Vibhuti, localized as "bibuti". It's sacred ash in Hinduism. "What do you here?" is also grammatically correct. It's effectively the same as the modern English "What are you doing here?"
Yup. Although, funny to see the chat arguing with each other so sure that it's "Salt" lol And leave it to Jared to take the low hanging fruit and see it as coom. In my 34 years I don't think I ever once saw it as coom........
@@xMaGuSx888 I was the dork who read the manual all the time as a kid so I knew it was ashes but didn't know wtf it really was supposed to be for years.
@@Chamomileable Right there with you, bud. I'm still bummed games no longer come with manuals lol Used to love reading them in the car on the way home from the store as a kid.
I thought it was holy water ice cubes
i love that it's also one of the better subweapons in the game lol
Man I meant to catch this live thank god for the VOD.
Edit: So help me if there's no part 2...
I have an idea on why you're waiting for a Part 2, but I haven't finished the VOD yet...
Man is it hard to get perfectly legal, legit tech handed down to us from back when our grandparents were around, to work with modern computers. Well done, Jerd! That's my hip and handsome 20something year old streamer panther.
"Liked" after hearing "jubble dumped"
So excited for this play through
Hickter Belmone? Awesome guy, never met him
edit: this is one of jerds funniest streams ever. You crack me up dude!
The massive map, the silly librarian, the drown pikemen, the frog's pizza, the clock room's exits, falling off the elevator, finding the fairie, living the nightmare, the fairie pointing out a wall, the unexpected ending . . . your reaction was priceless XD
Good thing for the VOD channel, I stopped the stream at 2 hours in cause I had to do other things with the intention of finishing it later (I hate how Twitch has no pause or rewind feature) and it mysteriously vanished.
Will the other parts of the subathon be uploaded here? There's like a 0.0000001% chance I'll bother trying to watch Twitch vods.
Yeah he does really good streams so glad he made this channel
Twitch: "watch it live or *DON'T WATCH IT AT ALL*"
Enjoying this a lot 🎉
castlevania is probably a lot of gamers introduction to bangable monster girls.
6 hours for the first ending is pretty good! well done~
In before the DMCA. Great stream! I love how cheesy and fun this game is.
Commenting to boost this content. I love it.
Hell yeah! Jerd finally playing my favorite Castlevania game! Please do a part 2 of SoTN!
When he ate the mushrooms all I heard was, "I made mushroom soup." classic hardcore times.
6.5 hr part 1, hell yes to more
I havnt watched the stream yet, but all i can say is Jared, its about damn time!
One of the most fun things of seeing someone play this game without significant previous experience is that they don't yet know that there isn't a proper single mode of progression
That Doppleganger boss was like my 4th or 5th that I faced in my playthrough awhile back on the Xbox version
3:17:04
Poor frog, trying to go home with his pizza in time for Jared's stream, but what does it get?
Death, theft and discrimination 😔😅😂

Nope it's just a deepfake

I mean, he has, he's just very rarely done it where actual secrets were. lol
I like this playthroug so far, but my only absolute hatred, is the damn high pitch sound of the Holy Rod!!
To be fair this game came out around the time that final fantasy tactics came out, so I can se why Jared didn't get to play it
its not what you think hes throwing its purified salt that has been blessed much like the holy water
Yes! Finally!!!!
IIRC, this game picked-up right where Castlevania Dracula X: Rondo of Blood ended.
I've not seen much of this game but I have some familiarity with the start of it at least, and it is only on this playthrough that I've thought to ask why Dracula has so many crosses as decoration in his castle. Aren't vampires supposed to hate those?

i love the shavol dump
question for the stream viewers. how epic was the credits music on a scale of one to THE BOUNCER?
Love all the stuff to munch
I can't believe my teenage mind never thought to call the salt that. Lol.
Sotn best Castlevania
Watching jerd fumble the spells for so long knowing how lenient the inputs are for it, hes just pushing square way to early. or not doing an entire half circle. Can only wait until he figures out soulsteal or the 4 summon spirit with a hold Mid motion :p
Now I want to see Jared play a little Street Fighter, he is just so bad at putting in special moves :)
29:34 what a line 😂😂😂🤌
lets go jubble dump
I had no idea there was an opening cut scene. I've always played the Xbox 360 version.
So, my first two thoughts are this: "Hey, why isn't Jared using his insanely overpowered Item Crash power to murder Dracula", quickly followed by "Oh, if you don't use Item Crash you can actually die here? I've literally never seen that happen in the 20 years I've been a fan of this game".
Jared should try Vampire Survivors after this game if he hasn't played it already.
1:10:44 "I'm attacking the darkness!"
This will be mostly a blind watch through. I played it once but I remember so little of it
52:16 "What do you here," isn't a typo or misreading, that's just olde timey English.
Is it bad the only Castlevania I've played any of is the monster tamer
@4:12:00 I'm screaming because Jared is so close.
Finally!
Today I learned Salable is a real word and not a mistranslation and JUBBLE DUMP!
Isn’t the Sega Saturn version considered better due to a castle with more areas and a button just for item usage?
Edit: What is your style of music, Projared?
Munchitty munch let’s goooo!
What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!
You haveto play Rondo of Blood, PCengine, not SNES
you can emulate the pcengine if you have a disc
before i start watching this ,
did jared got the rune sword and got destroyed by a nova skeleton?
Dawn of sorrow was very action oriented like, trying to evoke the classics. Portrait is in the middle, has more moody sections but still feels like an action cartoon. I think ecclesia was on the money with mood, but tried to be a cross between classic and modern, repetitive stages, really affected the enjoyment

Noice!
"What do you here?" is proper english though smh
Let's goooooooooooooooooooo
Its like listening to a child playing on his gameboy the whole day while trying to concentrate on work with that magic-rod sound, f*kin hell... Nice game though
Oh cool. They made a PS1 game based off that character from the Netflix series
I saw some people in the chat talking about Harmony of Despair, figured I would mention the game isn't dead. The PS3 version is active and you can still find people to play with.

52:16 Oh it's a re-translated version like Kingdom Hearts. Oh wait... 🤔
Damn, someone in the chat made the same joke right after. 😆
Comment for the algorithm!
damn he beat dark alucard first try. i always effing die a few times on that fight lol
JUBBLE DUMP
I can't handle the influx of VODs, too much to watch. I'll have content for months.
oh it looks like i left right as the stream ended.
@2:11:30 No, but I know this 8-Bit guy
HAZZAH Jared finally plays the GREATEST video game ever made!
