I'd be lying if I said I didn't see this coming after CV Pachinko was announced. Oh well.

If we'll be getting a female 'Death' then we might as well start at the top or something similar. Neil Gaiman's Death.

I completely forgot about the secret in the forum thing. Oh well. Cool episode though. Hey Mike. Do you have any plans for a special episode where we recap all the stuff that happened since the start or end of the Kickstarter campaign?

You know what. I actually welcome a musou Fate game. I have nothing against mindless entertainment games every once in a while.

To be honest, there is no perfect storage method and even physical copies have their risks
You're certainly right about whole games being unavailable if you rely solely on digital distribution. I agree with you 100% on the risks you mentioned Jango but we also have to consider the flip side.
CDs can be broken, scratched, stolen, put away and so on and then rendered unusable. What then?
As far as not being able to download updates in the future to coincide with the base copy of the game. I have a work around that. One thing I like to do is create a copy or backup of updates/dlc and put them in a flash drive (USB memory/SD cards/whatever) and stash it in one of my hidden compartments I have in the room along with a sheet of paper telling what files is in what card. I've been doing this with my Xbox 360, PS4 and PC. It's not perfect if the data becomes corrupted but it's better than nothing and that brings back to my original phrase.
Nothing is risk free.

How about a shovel weapon that drops from a certain enemy type. The shovel will do crap damage and is more of a joke weapon but even joke weapons can have their impact in-game. So you shovel a suspicious wall of dirt that leads to a hidden room. In that room lies a message. "Congratulations. You read this message for no apparent reason." <insert troll face here>.

Picture that you're in a underground room and in there lies the root of a tree . Say that you hit that root with a fire attack or weapon and lit it up. Back on the surface, the tree is burnt, leaving a passage/item that wasn't there before.
Or how about a body of water that you can freeze and walk on it to the other side.

Castlevania X Shin Megami Tensei: Both SMT and 'vania are cult classic series with dark themes and environments, RPG mechanics and tons of mythological monsters, so I think it'd make a whole lot of sense for the two series to crossover in some way. Dracula could even be a Chaos representative due to his willful defiance of God via becoming a vampire. However, I'm not sure how the gameplay differences between the two series could be reconciled, and with Konami having gone off the deep end, I doubt any future Castlevania games will be more than cheapo mobile cash-grabs made by people focused solely on profit. You know. Atlus isn't a stranger when it comes to the usage of Goetia Demons in SMT games. You can find a list of them here. That being said. Maybe Bloodstained and SMT could have some nods to the other if not cameos. It has a better chance of happening instead of wait for Konami to give the ok.

This is one of the rare few times where we are expecting the Spanish Inquisition and it will still happen.

There is Rabi-Ribi. If you can look past the anime/fanservice image of the game, it's actually a pretty solid game.

How about each of us choose if we want a Day 1 Edition of a Full edition. That way, we ALL get what we want.

Wait. Wasn't Iga... or was it Ben Judd... who said during the twitch stream for the launch that said that the physical copies are for backers only and that it's digital only beyond that?

thats pretty interesting, so in your scenario everybody has to wait maybe an extra year simply for some data on a disc, wouldnt that be screwing the digital people over the physical people when the main story is done and all everybodys waiting on is the final touches to be put on a mode you likely wont be able to access until you beat the game anyway? this really is a catch 22 where you cant make everyone happy no matter what you do, and since im getting a digital so i can beta it and help out alongside my physical copies it wont bother me (too much, id prefer the data be on the disc for reasons stated before) how this plays out, but hopefully we can find a way thatll make most everybody happy It really is a catch 22 situation. Good call on that Astaroth. Before we proceed any further, it would probably be wise to wait and see what Iga and Fangamers will do. They are the ones who did put in hundreds if not thousands of hours and will continue to put in just as much if not more so. TL;DR : Iga. Do as you see fit. We all trust you to give everyone, including yourself, that slice of Iga-heaven and it will be worth it when all is said and done.

well, thats why i put forth the idea of physical backers getting a download code so they are able to preload/play the game at the same time digital backers get theirs so the whims of global shipping dont affect the people who ordered physical copies, and those who want all the extra modes on the disc itself could get that. i know it sounds complicated but its not really fangamer begins getting everybodys physical orders ready to ship, waits for finalized disc game releases, everybody gets their code to dl game, much fun is had the staggered content releases, such wow complete discs are burned, packaged with fangamer bundles, sent out to all the backers granted this would mean fangamer would have a bunch of bundles waiting longer to be shipped, but it also gives them more time to have said bundles made, and iga wont wear out his signing hand and can have a little rest before we start calling for bloodstained 2: the quest for more awesome ^_^ and disclaimer again, we still dont know what exactly is part of the staggered content, above is pure speculation -_- If that's how it will turn out then what's the point of having the option of selecting physical or digital if, at the end of the day, we'll be getting digital anyway. There is also a questionable issue with the 'digital to tie people over' idea. I would essentially be saying "Okay. Your order has been received. BTW, you won't be getting your shipment for months. Here is a little consolation price while you wait." As a professional bookkeeper, i know that telling those who were kind/generous to give us their money to wait for their product/service is THE biggest No-No. Sorry but that's how it is behind closed doors, even if we wish it so otherwise.

To be perfect honest. I am dreading a delay of the release of the physical copies for a reason. You see... I'm one of the thousands of backers that pledged for a physical ONLY copy of the game. If we would have to wait months for the 'Full' version of the game, we would getting the Might No.9 treatment... AGAIN!
Get digital? If we really wanted to, we would've pick that option over physical.
Get digital and physical? Why pay for the same game twice? Not everyone has the $ to do that.
Risk of not available for download? The same risk also applies to pretty much every indie game and smartphone app.
GOTY/complete edition? How about we wait and see IF a GOTY/complete edition will even happen.
