The community has spoken at several threads, about something that most of us really dislike at Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, regarding the second Demo. The blueish color of Dullahammer Familiar and of Summon Shards. This thread is to voice out our opinion to the DEV team and also to give suggestions on how to improve that.
At Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night E3 2017 Demo, and at various showcase videos, we were presented to new enemies, scenarios and shards. One thing that stick out for most of the community, was a weird pattern regarding two specific kinds of Shards. Familiar Shards and Summon Shards, that are a sub-type of Trigger Shards.
Even so, Dullahammer Head could even look like it looks now, if weren't for a pattern that some people noticed, explained below.
At some other videos, we can see some new Shards, that are specific to a kind of sub-type of Trigger Shards, the Summon Shards. We were presented to Gieremund's Shard and Ape's Shard and both of them are Summon Shards. Shards where you summon demons to attack enemies. And they are both at the exact same color of Dullahammer head. Crystalized Blue.
That made some of the community conclude that this will really be a pattern. All Familiars and Summon Shards would be represented as crystalized blue demons.
Amy, from 2016 Demo, was different:
Amy shard (Cast Amy) from 2016 Demo was different. Amy was just a pallete swap version of itself. Although the name is different (Cast, instead of Summon, like Summon Ape) and we don't know if that has any meaning, since we also don't know how Gieremund's Shard is really called. (Summon, Cast, or something else).
This thread was made to voice out to the dev team the concerns regarding this matter, offer suggestions if time is still due to that and voice out the community's opinion on that matter. Some people were tagged below, in order to grab some of the most active members to voice out their concerns (if they have one) regarding that matter. I'm sorry if i forgot anyone. Too many members to remember.

THE PROBLEM
At Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night E3 2017 Demo, and at various showcase videos, we were presented to new enemies, scenarios and shards. One thing that stick out for most of the community, was a weird pattern regarding two specific kinds of Shards. Familiar Shards and Summon Shards, that are a sub-type of Trigger Shards.
DULLAHAMMER HEAD
The Familiar Dullahammer Head
Dullahammer Head is the first Familiar that was presented at Bloodstained. It seems to emulate Medusa Heads as a enemy and when Miriam obtains it as a Familiar Shard, it looks like a crystalized blue version of itself. That, in particular, wouldn't be so bad, although most community agree that it would look much better if it was the actual graphics of Dullhammaer Head, with a pallete swap or something of the sort. Even so, Dullahammer Head could even look like it looks now, if weren't for a pattern that some people noticed, explained below.
SUMMON SHARDS
The Trigger Shard (Summon Shard) Ape
The Trigger Shard (Summon Shard) Gieremund
The Trigger Shard (Summon Shard) Gieremund
At some other videos, we can see some new Shards, that are specific to a kind of sub-type of Trigger Shards, the Summon Shards. We were presented to Gieremund's Shard and Ape's Shard and both of them are Summon Shards. Shards where you summon demons to attack enemies. And they are both at the exact same color of Dullahammer head. Crystalized Blue.

Amy, from 2016 Demo, was different:
Cast Amy Shard.
Amy shard (Cast Amy) from 2016 Demo was different. Amy was just a pallete swap version of itself.
