I dunno, this is a new company he's working with. An American company that might not be willing to overlook anything too problematic. They aren't Wayforward :D.
Also, when did "fan service" start to mean "creepy"?
Also, I checked the timeline and Castlevania 64 (aka the second half of Legacy of Darkness) takes place in 1864.
Anyway, my biggest problem with a lot of kickstarter projects these days is the notion of "backer exclusive in-game content". It's basically pre-order exclusive DLC, and way too many of these projects are doing it. Mighty No. 9 has the backer exclusive transformation, and this game will have a backer exclusive hidden boss. It's annoying, really, that they went that route.
For my part, backer exclusive content should be limited to physical rewards that don't affect the game, or in-game recognition of that backer that everyone gets to see (such as your name in the credits, or at higher tiers, a boss you get to design). Why would you ALREADY sully the name of what could have been a perfect vision by, out of the gate, excluding future customers from even the possibility of certain content?
InXile got it right. Neither of their games have exclusive content. At best, Wasteland 2 had an exclusive CODE, but that code's been leaked at this point and anyone can input it at the right part to get access to that content.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
