History Heartwarming / BloodstainedRitualOfTheNight

** Compare her to [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia Shanoa]], the only other heroine for the ''Castlevania'' series. While both have suffered a lot, Shanoa remains almost brooding and empty due to the seal on her emotions, yet Miriam has [[DeadpanSnarker snarker tendencies]], moments of playfulness, and, if her poses after holding Up for a moment or two are any indication, a slightly flirtatious nature. Miriam in general comes off as significantly more lighthearted of a character during these situations for these types of games than any we've seen thus far.

* The fact that this game was met with warm reception is immensely relieving, considering all the drama surrounding other Kickstarter games, and this games own long development.

* In the prologue cutscene, Miriam and Johannes are talking about Gebel and how he was a good person. Johannes laments that the torment he went through "would break even the best of souls". Then we have this which crosses over with Tearjerker.
-->Johannes: "Miriam, I want you to know that I'm sorry. What my brothers subjected you to... There's no forgiving it."\\
Miriam: "It was their transgression, not yours. You...you always took care of us."\\
Johannes: "[[ItsAllMyFault Obviously not enough.]]"

* The staying power of Creator/DavidHayter's fanbase proved great enough that the stretch goal to have him voice BigBad Gebel was reached within the first day of the crowdfunding campaign going live. This goes double after Konami infamously cut him as the voice of the iconic Snake of ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidV''.

* One fan, Xombie Mike, came up with the idea of sending donuts to IGA and other members of the company. This was met with approval by employee, Mana and became a funding drive to buy Krispy Kreme donuts for the team. The fandom enthusiastically pitched in and so IGA is now a few donuts heavier. The story can be found in the Bloodstained official forum, under the thread "DONUTS! (Funded)".

The story can be found in the Bloodstained official forum, under the thread "DONUTS! (Funded)".

* The record-setting success of the project. IGA made it clear he was very worried that the game wouldn't succeed, and he was putting a lot on the line purely on the belief that the [[Metroidvania style of the games]] he liked to make still had an audience with fans, something publishers had told him when they rejected doing business. Then the Kickstarter was launched, and hit double its target in one day. The sheer scope of the success shocked and amazed IGA, and told him that there was not only still a market for his work, but old and new fans alike wanted him to keep making his peojects.

* The success of the project itself is one really. IGA made it clear he was very worried that the game wouldn't succeed, and he was putting a lot on the line purely on the belief that the games he loved making were still desired by the fans. The fact that he was right to such an astounding degree both shocked him and left him overjoyed that the fans had so much faith in his ability and so much desire to see him return to form.

* [[http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/963/530/eaf.jpg This image.]] Seeing a Castlevania-sprite-style Miriam being seen off by four of the greatest heroes of Castlevania as they [[PassingTheTorch pass the torch to her]] is both [[TearJerker tragic for fans of the series]] but also incredibly sweet.
