Some people just don't like the fact that in Sotn, Riitcher's abilities are as equal as Maria's and Alucard, while in Rondo and X, you just feel stuck with a character that can barely move well.
@Filipino Klasiko yo m8 heard of the free open emu all in one emulator? recently the playstation 1 rom was added to openemu so now you can play the game directly, or the sega saten version which has lower graphics but more replay value with added unlockable characters
@Filipino Klasiko i dont get to help my fellow gamers much so im very happy when i get the chance. am stuck with mac so i dont have many options for online gaming with peeps
Srsly, I looked up how to unlock so I could save myself the trouble of dying so many times... Now I see the game is in its original 4:3 aspect. Um...maybe as well buy it? Although... the translation is different this time. Would be cool to compare.
What’s funny is that people don’t like it cause they think it’s the controls fault. They just say it’s crappy because they keep dying and it has limited controls. I frickin love this game, both rondo of blood and symphony of the night. Rondo of blood has so much replay ability like figuring out what alternate routes to take and what endings you can take. Unlike Symphony of the night which is just grind grind grind until you can get passed a certain area.
+JAZZ HANDS You are welcome. SOTN is one of my favorite games. I was using an emulator, as I have neither a PSP, any games to play on one, or a way of recording footage from it.
I guess Konami wanted to have 2-3 games in one, but decided to make the original Rondo of Blood (but with english voice acting as opposed to the japanese voices) and SotN unlockable (albeit with Maria being playable in New Game Plus as well as being a mandatory boss when playing as Alucard.)
I see that they changed the voices and dialogue on this version. I have the original SOFN on PS1, and it is different with those things. I think I still like the original better. I mainly got a PSP and Dracula X Chronicles to unlock the original Rondo Of Blood.
Blame the US native english talkers people who were weak and whiny, and somehow found the OG voices cringy - eventhought they were objectivelly just Alright... but oh well -
@@xm_heecka.laddder.job_mx5962 the original voice acting wasn't really good, do you expect me to take the game seriously when the succubus moans when alucard traps her in his nightmare? The remake did a very good job with the voice acting.
I made it one day because I was bored and felt like making a video to help people unlock Symphony of the Night in Castlevania The Dracula X Chronicles. I intend to record a full playthrough of SOTN (as in the PlayStation 1 port, which I am in the middle of, as well as the Sega Saturn port and the PSP port.) Content-wise, I like the Saturn version the most, though I really enjoy the PSP voice acting the most.
SoTN is not bad on this actually. Reworked script with narration and voice acting. It plays better than the Sega Saturn version but still suffers slow downs at certain points. Like the Saturn version tho the slowdowns make no sense. It won't slow down with numerous enemies fighting but do it spontaneously.
Wow so there are diffent ways Togo im on level four and I went a completely different way and fought different bosses the game is hard but it's beautiful love the game so far
I honestly like the PSP dialog a little more. At least in the PSP and Saturn versions you have the option of playing as Maria. She is ridiculous in the Saturn version, which I just recorded and uploaded a couple days ago if you want to see it. That particular video of the game is my fastest time ever beating the game.
I don't know the psx version has that old English accent thing while on psp sounded like a dub anime thing, anyways does the saturn version has english?
the Saturn version is Japan only, but you can play it on any region using an Action Replay 4M Plus. I use one with a U.S. region Sega Saturn to play the Saturn port of SotN. My main reason for liking the PSP dialog more is because I tend to be rather serious (or more specifically, direct and to the point), and the PSP dialog sound rather more serious to me than the PS1 version. I memorized the PS1 version well enough to play the Saturn version just going off of the menu icons for the weapons (specifically, the Crissaegrim, though it shares the same menu icon as the heaven sword, which I almost never bother getting anyway).
@@LightMindedJedi yea, I just don't get why they make you jump through all the hoops just to play the game you want to, especially in the case of sotn where it was marketed as being included, yet I'm sure there's many people who couldn't figure out how to get to it, hence the usefulness of a video like this.
Nicely durn. How is the original Rondo of Blood unlocked exactly? All the other video walkthroughs are kinda low quality. Also, is the unlocked Rondo of Blood the TG16 version?
I don't know where the item that unlocks Rondo of blood is located due to insufficient skill at Dracula X Chronicles to progress that far, but basically, it is the TG16 version that is unlockable, albeit with remapped controls to accommodate the PSP buttons.
getting into Stage 3' is only part of unlocking SotN. The other part is collecting the item above the moving tombstones after the skeleton dragon thing.
bruh. this is literally not misleading. the deaths were not part of the plan. if things had gone to plan, there would have been no deaths on the way to unlocking SotN
you would have to go to settings and select controls. you have to custom map the controls to you preference. I mapped the savestate functions to the R3 and L3 on my XBox 360 controller (it is wired).
@ kids today. Can't finish a game if it's not holding your hand. No wonder modern games have tutorials that treat you like a baby when people like you exist.
IMO SotN is by far the best Castlevania game ever made. Make sure you go to the upside-down Castle. There is a lot of little Easter eggs, like equipping two heaven swords, which let's you do a special attack, or throwing a shield from Galaga with the shield rod (not to mention all the other things you can do with it pressing square circle simultaneously).

lots of people only like the game SOTN， but to me the game Dracula X is a good game to me as well
Rondo of Blood is literlly the BEST Traditional Castlevania... it deserves recongnition and respect though
Good for you

Thank you so much bro. This video showed me the path I needed to find SotN.
Konami ought to consider remastering this with better controls on current platforms.
Agreed! The closest that us Switch owners can get is Dracula X for the SNES.
It's on PS4 and playable on PS5. It's called Castlevania Requiem. I'm sure it's the original version of Rondo, though.
@@BobBobOnRUclips I am aware of that. I’m hoping for something that includes Dracula X Chronicles specifically.

I tried to play Symphony of the night but it lags and it's really slow.
@@billiedecker7388 Which PSP model do you have ? SOTN lags on the fat model but it runs flawlessly on the slim.
I don't understand why they didn't just remake sotn instead...

It's because rondo was never released in the west, like the X68000 game
They would have ruined a masterpiece.

So it doesn’t matter which hole you fall down in stage 2?
no but the third hole is best due to fewer pits and one or two less enemies to deal with.
Dracula X is great... it's weird that so many people whine about it

this is for those who either can't find it or can't download a game save due to poor computer specs
@@LightMindedJedi I'm playing on an emulator, and when I click start playing in the symphony of the night, it just throws me back to the main menu(

Ewww that Rondo remale looks worse then the original
......... yeah, i can't defend that XD
What about the Dracula X from SNES?
👍😀👍
1. Cut the times you fail out of the video
2. You are a weakling for using state saves.
edit: 3. You're alright
this was over two years ago, I made a new video on how to do it, but using Maria. The save states were only for when things started going sour.
