"...but just so you know, her name is Yoko Belnades."

I'm well aware of the Belnades/Fernandez thing. I choose Fernandez because I believe one is an early mistranslation of the other, only kept as such for nostalgic reasons.

I'm not a follower of what that IGA person says about the game series.

I have a timeline that includes all games (and some remakes) which I choose as my own canon. I'm free to go with what I like, rather than what some fool in a cowboy hat thinks is good.

I hope that clarifies things.

I actually prefer Mr. P's rendering of the storyline... he actually made every game ever made into a sensible history. I personally think Igarashi is an idiot for not realizing that the games he declared non-canon would actually work with the overall story of the series... >.>

Yeah, story-wise I think Legacy of Darkness and Castlevania 64 would work well, but I am not very sure about Circle of the Moon. And I agree that IGA is a jerk for messing with the timeline. This is my personal Castlevania timeline:

1094: Lament of Innocence
1476: Dracula's Curse
1479: Curse of Darkness
1576: Castlevania Adventure/The Adventure ReBirth
1591: Belmont's Revenge
1691: Castlevania/Castlevania Chronicles
1698: Simon's Quest
1748: Harmony of Dissonance
1792: Rondo of Blood/Castlevania: Dracula X/ Dracula X Chronicles
1797: Symphony of the Night
1800's: Order of Ecclesia (note: though I tend to overlook this game for contributing little to the general timeline, I see this game's importance due to being the game that showed firsthand what the learned groups tried to do in order to compensate for the Belmont Clan's absence in the 19th century)
1844: Legacy of Darkness
1852: Castlevania 64 (I don't see this game conflicting with IGA's timeline because there is no mention in the game that Reinhardt uses the Vampire Killer Whip, his whip being referred only as the "hunter's whip")
1897: Bram Stoker's Dracula
1917: Castlevania Bloodlines
1944: Portrait of Ruin
1999: Demon Castle War
2035: Aria of Sorrow
2036: Dawn of Sorrow
2037: Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku

As I said before, I don't have any problem in fitting LoD and C64 in the timeline. What I can't accept is that they ruined everything they've been building up since 1986 with Lords of Shadows. I mean, they first tied the CV series with the Dracula novel with Castlevania Bloodlines. Then, they expanded it with Portrait of Ruin, and linked it with Aria of Sorrow through the 1999 battle. What was the next logical step? To make a Castlevania game starring Julius and telling how he defeated Dracula in 1999. It was very simple, wasn't it? They could port it for PS3 as a stand-alone game like Bloodlines for Genesis. It would be awesome to see Julius and Alucard rendered in 3D. The time passed, they released Order of Ecclesia, Dracula X Chronicles, The Adventure ReBirth, Harmony of Despair... But when it was the right time to make the long awaited game, what do they do instead? LORDS OF SHADOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
