Producer Koji Igarashi said that the reason for this was because they "received many requests from fans to have a female heroine" and jokingly that "our designer put a lot of effort in designing the skirt animation for Persephone in previous games and we wanted to raise his morale." Of course, a major change from past Castlevania's is that of a female protagonist, the first since 1998's Castlevania Legends. The artwork of the game has been changed dramatically from anime-style to more serious and somber illustrations. Throughout her adventure, Shanoa will meet villagers who will give her optional sidequests to go on (all of which are recorded within the menu options). Albus stole Dominus, the "supreme Glyph" that can help vanquish Dracula though the reason for why he stole it is unknown. She travels from one destination to the next in search for Albus, a former member of the Ecclesia. Shanoa won't just explore Dracula's castle but will also explore locations outside the castle, something many Castlevania protagonists have never done. There are many new features in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia not found in previous Castlevania games.
All Glyphs require magic points, except for Glyph Unions, which require hearts. One example in the article explains how Shanoa can slingshot herself to different places using magnetic fields while another example states that she could walk through walls. Glyphs can also be used in non-combative ways. Some Glyph's can be combined as dual weapons for a combo effect, and combining two of the same Glyphs can create devastating attacks called Glyph Unions. When Shanoa finds a Glyph she can absorb its power and then assign it to either the Y or X button like a weapon. The source of Shanoa's powers comes from objects called Glyph's.
The protagonist and the most powerful member of the Ecclesa is a girl named Shanoa. The name of the game refers to a group called the Ecclesia, an organization who are working to rid of Dracula in a time when the Belmonts have seemingly vanished. A preview of Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia gave a wide overview of what to expect in Konami's latest entry in the classic series.
