Regarding V(Open Devil May Cry V spoilers)
- Thread starter Gold Arsene
- Start date
Geryon on DMD took an absolute age too. I almost gave up. It wasn't even HARD, just BORING.
Kill the character for good and just let vergil do the vegetalo and be a "good guy", even after everything he did. Judgement cut is so much more lit than anything V can do.
The way the plot shakes out, they'd need to do a lot of work to explain why Vergil was using those three particular familiars after the end of the game. Other familiars, maybe (doppelganger?), but those three specifically...not so much.
Yup. I was going for the "beat that mission without any of your familiars being KO'd" trophy and I got so bored of the fight that I lost focus and Shadow got blown up.
Bring his fighting style back, but expand on it. I want to see counters and death-fake-outs like he did against Mirage Angelo. Really disappointed there was only a single upgrade to the cane.
V himself, I dunno. I liked him well enough in the story, but his story is... done. I'd rather have Vergil back than him, unfortunately.

I'm trying to think if we ever saw Vergil smile at any point before this game.
"I WANTED SOMETHING I DIDN'T GET!" the post.
On the topic of the post, no. I liked his gameplay and his character quite a bit, but he's in Vergil now (whose taking some of his traits) I want another summoner though (Patty?)
This,
however I would be open to a character somewhat similar to him in future titles
"I don't like it when people criticize the things I like" the response.
I honestly think he hasn't, plus, this is also the first time he's ever said "thank you" to... well, anyone. He says he cares nothing about Nero, but... nah, he flat out lets Nero tell him what to do after he loses and gives Nero the book. The last time someone tried to tell Vergil what to do after a loss, he threw himself off a cliff.
And above all, Vergil actually jokes a little with Dante now
DMC has too many characters that are similar to each other and V felt like a breath of fresh air, even though in any other game he'd feel super cliche and played out. DMC is an incredibly one note series so I'll take whatever variety I can get.
So what? We're not allowed to be disappointed over his treatment?
He did faintly from time to time I would say. But he didn't have much to smile about to begin with. His interactions in 3 were super limited, so it's not so much about not having it in him, but it wasn't just the time nor the place.
They did so before, too. The whole Arkham fight is like this.
I like V as a character. We do not need him back and I don't enjoy playing as him even if he is more interesting than it seems, just make the games about Nero/Dante/Vergil and Lady/Trish/*insert new female character*.
For me, I'd just keep DMC6 about Nero and Dante.

I can see them doing some convoluted spin with him somehow managing to be separate from Vergil (while vergil is still vergil). I still like Vergil more though if i had the choice.
Thought his moveset was ok, but i've always preferred him last.

Could be a satisfying story/gameplay moment too, when he finally gets his book back from Nero, he unlocks the ability to summon.
They could just say the book had its own powers, too, if they just want to give that ability to someone else and not bring Vergil back to the story this soon.
I like that. The auto-version that spends a DT bar could be the demons surrounded by lightning.
Though, storywise, it would probably be a more fitting power for Lady, since she's still human. They can find plenty of bullshit anime powerups for Trish, Lady needs a tool.
It is called Folklore and it is a criminally underrated PS3 game.
This actually fits perfectly. Trish is a Mundus creation along with the familiars so having her command them would make perfect sense.
Keats even has white hair devil trigger. :P
Good point! That would be amazing.
Someone call Itsuno about that Lady + Trish adventure tease!
I like the idea of a sorcerer type character in DMC but I don't really need more V as a character.
Honestly, it would be a smart way to make Trish more than just "nerfed Dante + lightning kicks". Give her a bunch of lightning projectiles and the like so she's not AS helpless as V is but then also give her the familiars to bolster her strength.
The revelation that V and Urizen were both actually Vergil was definitely the most disappointing moment of the story for me. I thought both of them were interesting enough to be their own characters. I liked that Vergil returned, but I would have liked him in more of a minor role while Urizen and V had bigger parts. With what transpired in the game, it would be difficult to find a way to bring V back in a way that makes sense. It didn't ruin the game by any means, but I would have liked that part of the story to go a different way.
It's funny how people barely scratch the surface of a character then writing him off completely
It's like picking dante and doing stingers and basic combos only. People saying they are spamming projectiles from far and "mashing" just dont get it.
Urizen is one of the worst villains ever with some of the worst dialogue imaginable. I cant believe anyone could find him interesting.
Yeah, I would like to see him, or at least his moveset, come back in some way. The idea behind his style of play is something that's begging to be refined and perfected in a sequel. Plus, how you gonna have all these DMC1 homages and not invite Phantom to the party?
And as far as his character arc goes, he's still enough of a decent "foil" to Nero and Vergil, himself, (especially his unabashed humanity), that I'd like to see him and his pals return in some way. This series, known for making shit up as it goes, can certainly find a way to do so.

I found him more "mysteriously interesting" than "fully developed interesting". I was curious to know more about him but the "oh, he's just Vergil" moment pretty much ruined that.
psh, Dragon's Dogma 2 wishes it could have a character as cool as V.
My thought process of having Trish be the summoner is giving her two styles. One is reminiscent of V's with maybe thunder familiars to keep her element in the mix. The other is something similar to Hector's playstyle in Castlevania Curse of Darkness in which she is more active in her damage dealing. In this mode she would have 1 familiar instead of two and whichever she absorbed she could use as a weapon.
Since I'm assuming he's supposed to be a young Vergil, I'm gonna say give me a prequel where we play as Vergil but it's V's character looks, and let us play a "combo" version of him. One where he befriends other demons and uses them to fight, while letting us use an inexperienced yamato wielding Vergil to finish off or assist our familiars.
I like that. You could have a tradeoff system based on the familiar you have out and the familiar you have absorbed, different strengths and weaknesses vs. trying to manage more than one familiar at a time.
This is the proposition i'll make. If Lucia is brought back, V can come back.
No Lucia, no one should come back.
