Harmony of Dissonance – 2002 Developer Interview
Added 2021-04-19 11:33:56 +0000 UTChttp://shmuplations.com/harmony/
Often considered the “black sheep” of the Castlevania GBA series, this Harmony of Dissonance interview with director Takashi Takeda and producer Koji Igarashi was originally featured in the Japanese NTT-PUB strategy guide and covers the game’s design and conception.
Though much of the conversation is rather broad (surprisingly so for a strategy guide interview), readers may be surprised to hear how much Takeda loved the early Famicom Castlevania games and tried to incorporate elements of their design. I’ve also included the brief composer commentary from the HoD OST at the end.

Yeah, personally I feel the same way. I recently replayed all three on a new MiSTER setup. Harmony was way too easy but I just don't enjoy CotM as much.
