Here's something different from my usual uploads.
Back in June, I gathered some of my friends in Final Fantasy XIV (we play as Lalafells)
and I asked them do help me do a recreation of three scenes
from the classic video game from the 90s - Dracula X: Rondo of Blood for the TurboGrafx-16 / PC Engine,
which was later ported to PlayStation Portable as a part of Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles
(I had it and played the heck out of it back in the day, enjoying it a lot ^^)

There were couple of reasons I wanted to do this:

1. Because of the premiere of the new Netflix series - Castlevania: Nocturne (watched the first series and loved it, I'm excited for the second one!)
2. Because the game itself is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year
3. Because I wanted to experiment with Group Posing in the game

So here it is. This is my attempt to re-create the opening anime cutscene from the original game - the one with the German narrator. I always preferred that version to the Dracula X Chronicles version, even though they are both pretty good in setting the atmosphere. I used the fan translation rather than the official one and adjusted it a little.
Also, The Church of the First Light in Lakeland was a perfect location for the scene, I think.

For comparison, you can watch and listen to the original here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqgi2t…

And if you're wondering, yes - I myself am playing the role of Dark Lord, Dracula

Be sure to click on the picture twice to enlarge it!
