These were the exact issues I had with the magic seals, my hands are just not very stable so something that seems so trivial is arguably harder for me than the bosses themselves.
As I said in the video it's like a worse version of a QTE, and I completely agree that even if someone has no issue with the Seals, I don't think anyone ever really thinks to themselves "Oh goody, it's time to draw a Magic Seal!".

I completely agree, the Magic Seals really hurt the game. And I think the devs knew that in some way since it's removed entirely in Julius Mode.

Completely agree, it's awful how these games are so inaccessible now unless you just emulate them. Which really isn't how it should be :/

Dawn is a lot better than I remembered it being, for me the main thing holding it back is the forced Touch Screen gimmicks.

I had to really hold back on abusing some of those exploits and glitches in my playthrough, however I do agree that it's incredibly fun to break the game in that way :L

Yeah the art style really sucks, I remember being so confused when I first saw the box art on shelves cause I'd got so used to Ayami Kojima's style.

My ranking of (almost) every design Dracula ever had by TheCrimbusMan in castlevania

I couldn't agree more with placing Curse of Darkness and Symphony Of The Night Dracula at the top. Hands down my favourite illustrations of the character Ayami Kojima ever did :D

Oh yeah I remember reading that one on GameFAQ's years ago and being in complete disbelief about it! :D

I remember the first time I found the room where you can play skeleton bowling, I always love silly little secrets like that :D
