If you were to read the first post in this topic, your question would be answered.

[font=Tahoma] I\'m getting mine tomorrow, and hopefully the 18-page artbook as well. [/font]

I\'ll probably be getting mine tomorrow as well. I just got back from checking the two local stores most likely to have it. Nothin\'. I\'ll have to run to the game store in the closest mall, which is something I don\'t have time for today.

...................

Let me update that. Turns out I got out of work with enough time to run down to the mall before closing time. So I now have Castlevania Aria of Sorrow.

I think that I will get this game in a few days. I get my allowance in this time, so I think that I will spend it on this game. You all say that it is good, do it must be...

crazy...:miam:

Oh, and touching back on that little \"is Soma Alucard?\" thing... he\'s not Alucard. But there\'s more. Well, It\'s an extremely minor spoiler, but if you were to think about it long enough, it would give some stuff away so...

[font=Tahoma] KFC, now that\'s just too damn obvious. Any CV fan would have noticed that Arikado Genya is actually Alucard, unless he or she is insensible.
Oh yeah, and from what I\'ve played so far on ANM, or AoS, which I just got yesterday, it seems like another rehashed version of HoD. But that\'s just my impression up to that point, mind you. I\'ve have to play it thoroughly to see what the whole game will be like.
The only thing that interests me so far is just those \"soul\" features.

Oh, yeah, and that 18-page artbook is really something to have a gander at. [/font]

It does feel a lot like the previous one. But it seems like this one is different from HoD in all the ways HoD wasn\'t different from CotM. And certainly Harmony and Circle are some damn fine games, but Aria would probably feel cooler if they weren\'t there in between Symphony and this.

And Genya... yeah. I\'d seen pictures of him online, not knowing his name. Just from the looks I had a hunch but I hoped Konami wouldn\'t be dumb enough to do something so obvious. That hope went away once I saw his name in the instruction book.

But the art book is worth seeing, huh? I\'ll try to hunt down some scans if it\'s really worth it that much. Is it? I hate the fact that I get so ripped off when it comes to games simply because I live on this side of the pond.
