Bloodstained Plot Predictions

It was mentioned before that Gebel and Johannes looked at Miriam as a younger sister. Still doesn't eliminate the possibility of a romance plot with any of the other characters though. If it does show up at all, I hope it's mostly for comedic effect and doesn't stand out too much. I'd also prefer if there wasn't any of that at all though since it doesn't feel right with the setting. I trust whatever Igarashi and the team has in mind though.

Albus loved Shanoa.  It might've been brotherly love at first (even though they aren't related), but it grew.  Had he lived, something probably would've come from that love.

Maria fell for Alucard in SotN.  There weren't any hints of romantic attraction to anyone in Rondo of Blood (that I remember), but she was 12 then.

Charlotte and Johnathan's relationship doesn't seem to be romantic in nature, though, so I agree with you there.

It would fit in just fine with Castlevania's style, given how love has been a big part of the plot of several of the games, but I agree that having a female (or male) character and another character doesn't mean there needs to be romantic interest involved.

Again, I dont' care if it has one or not, and frankly, I expect there to be no romantic subplot. But who the heck said there should be one 'just because the main character is female'? It's not like every game with romantic subplots have a female MC...In fact I think it's MORE common for a male MC to have a romantic subplot than a female MC.  I don't disagree with your opinion, I just disagree with your reasoning behind it. Simply having a romantic subplot doesn't weaken a character, regardless of them being male or female, so why make it sound like it would?

I think it would be nice if there were more games with female MCs that DID have a romantic subplot without politically correct police shaming people for somehow affiliating that with some kind of accusation of somehow treating female MC as less heroic or whatever. I'm NOT saying you are such a person mind you, just that the way you brought up miriam's gender to begin with has nothing to do with it, and if someone DOES want a romantic subplot, I don't think it would be fair to assume they wanted it just cuz they think women need romance or some silly notion like that.

I'm scared someone will take offense to this post, please read it the most amicable way you can, I'm merely trying to encourage acceptance, nothing more.

But... but...   wine glass....

Ya I know. . . they were awesome, I had to redo the Eyeball familiar one in one of my previous posts.

I didn't even have a conclusion other than I agreed with your opinion, just not the logic behind it, and nothing I said had even a hint of being upset,  clearly you are afraid of an argument, even a constructive one, so I will drop it. But please don't try and make me look like I'm at fault here somehow for trying to respectfully trying to debate...There is no debate rule on the forums, and you have not expressed any sensitivity on the subject until now. I also am unaware of any wrongdoing on my part in the offtopics section, should you wish to point it out in private or public feel free to do so. But I cannot promise to avoid repeating something when I don't even know what it is that apparently upset you.

edit: You made a new post, I don't disagree with any of your reasons there, I agree, romance seems out of place for those reasons. I just disagreed about Miriam's gender having anything to do with anything =P, and I don't mean that in a 'but what about male/male' way. But yeah, just wanted to mention I'm not even disagreeing with those either.

You seemed to attack me regarding my choice of words about Miriam being a female, which means there should be romance, when that was just the impression I had reading the last few posts, which is why I responded how I did. I apologize if I misunderstood your intentions, but I really hate when someone tries to force an argument/debate about a subject no one wants to talk about.  The topic I was refering in the off-topics section was a topic started by JeffCross which had a questionable title similar to what you mentioned, and that one ended up getting locked. I don't want that to happen to this one just because someone happened to start a debate regarding something no one wants to talk about. Keep a cool atmosphere, please.

Are you accusing gentle Johannes of a misdeed? Shaaaaaaaame. . .

*Walks away* 

*Quiet voice* Shaaaaaaaaame. . .

But they are suspicious, don't you think? Look that blond man over there with glasses and Indiana Jones's outfit, how could a person be more suspicious than that?
