I love me some Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.  The problem is that the game is rather easy though.  

I'd love to play a "Hard Mode" or even just something that balances things out.  Why hasn't it been made? :/

Some dude is hacking it, but he's keeping all to himself.  I looked into it about a year ago and the community is nothing like this.  It's just a bunch of people waiting around for one dude to get done.  It wouldn't be so bad if the guy wasn't being jerk and intentionally hoarding to himself.  He's got a terrible God complex.

I don't want to do anything too crazy.  Just make it a bit harder.  Remove or rebalance unbalanced items.  Increase some drop rates for some things.  Not anything crazy like a new scenario.

I wonder if I could do that myself.  I'll check some guides out.  Any help would be appreciated.  

The more complicated stuff would be adding in the new content from the Saturn version.  There's one new level, a new boss, a new song, and you can play as Maria when you're done.  That would be more complicated.

Heh, SotN was one of my first games. I loved it, and didn't even know about the... other thing... until like a year after I got it. XD

It's worth playing.  One of the better PS1 games.

It is the grandaddy of the current generation of 2D castlevanias and is far superior all them in every way.

I fapped to the succubus.

A ps1 game you say. I had not picked up on that. I might have to go search the bargain bin at gamestop.

She's wearing underwear.  And a top.

Thank you kind sir, but I'll take my mouthful of fur SOTN succubus any day of the week.

SOTN Succubus shows her tits.

I win.

Sadly, it's true. Well, not sad that she shows her, well, you know... but it's sad that you win.

Anyways, are you all referring to those videos with the hacked Creature, Akmodan II, and Slogra/Gaibon?

Wierd what this thread degraded to.  Not unexpected, but still, wierd.

Anyway, Havermayer's right.  It's one of the best PS1 games, and probably the best 2d platformer I've ever played.  Much like FFT though, when you know how to manipulate it, it's simple.
