http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.dsfanboy.com/media/2008/05/castle051908.jpgCastlevania: Order of Ecclesia (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/05/17/order-of-ecclesia-site-reveals-artwork-nintendo-powers-secret/) was (for real) revealed this week, as was its heroine, a member of the Dracula-hunting (in the absence of a Belmont) sect from which the game gets its title. She seems like a pretty good protagonist, with her imposing boots and ability to equip three attacks at a time, but she is no Belmont. She may kill vampires, but she doesn't have Vampire Killer.
Are you at all disappointed when a Castlevania game features a non-Belmont? Or did Symphony of the Night convince you that switching up the formula is worth the lack of familiarity? Does it still feel like Castlevania if you're not some musclebound dude with a whip?
