Some other stuff happens, but it’s not really that interesting, until we find out that Dracula was defeated (apparently for good… or not!!?) back in 1999 by one Julius Belmont (who happens to be wandering about the castle in an amnesiac stupor) and because of said defeat, no one can figure out why the hell the castle has reappeared inside the eclipse.

Konami really pulled out all the stops with Aria of Sorrow and created a game that, I believe, is quite comparable to the oft pined for Symphony of the Night.
