I can't wait for Bayonetta 4 when people will pretend that they always liked Viola like it since the game she appeared first like it has happened to Nero in DMC5

[@arran4285]

At least in DMC4 they didn't off the MC many times over and throw in the multiverse

[@skytiger215]

The Nero hate was unjustified. The Viola hate, however, is to an extent. It's less about her character and more about her gameplay style. It was a frustrating mess. Even the devs acknowledged it through patches. I'm sure if she was as fun and interesting to play as Bayonetta, she would've been favorably received. If there is a Bayonetta 4, Hopefully she'll be more polished and have more weapon options. In that case, the turnaround would feel less like the 180 Nero got.

[@Toffeehammer]

I think one of the things I like the most about Viola is the game's willingness to engage in slapstick style humour with her. Stuff like her falling on her face or getting her butt lit on fire so she has to run to water to put it out. The kind of Looney Tunes comedy you see with male characters all the time but not so much with female ones. Kind of refreshing and it's a nice contrast to Bayo's constant invincible swagger.

[@_marukunn]

Lyrics: Warning signs are written on the wall, yet In my head I can't wrap around it all And the red that's been dripping down on the edge for far too long, is what we're bleeding for. I don't wanna be a ghost and don't wanna be a little secret. My heart is sinking on the other side, trapped between the walls that you'll never find! You'll never, you'll never find. That you'll never, you'll never find. You'll never find! My heart is buried in sinking sand My fate, my time slips right through my hands From the top of my lungs i'm screaming Speaking in tongues, why can't you hear me? Why can't you hear me!? I don't wanna be a ghost and don't wanna be a little secret. All the hate grows inside of me. These memories that i can't speak of I'm the ghost within you, you're my history. Begging to break free, but you don't hear me. I can't repeat this nightmare, this misery In a loop, it's tearing apart at the seams In a loop, let's rewrite our history. And i wont stop, but now the fate's gotten me I don't wanna be a ghost and can't have any unfinished business The world's weight is on my shoulders Set free the fire in me that's trapped inside! The fire that's trapped inside The fire that's trapped inside That's trapped inside My eyes are blinded, a clouded mind and the storm inside me is raging wild from the top of my tower i'm waiting Still is the air, why can't i save me? Why can't i save me? I don't wanna be a ghost and don't wanna be a little secret. All the hate grows inside of me. These memories that i can't speak of I'm the ghost within you, you're my history. Begging to break free, but you don't hear me.

[@dljb7463]

I just got to play as her for the first time and I think I kinda like her combat a more than bayos, mostly because I'm more prone to being defensive and slower. With bayo I feel like I have to be moving every millisecond where as with viola I feel like I can take my time and strike when the opportunity arises

[@azazeltheundyingdamienkali5700]

​@@dljb7463 That's valid. For me, though, it's the opposite. I do really well with Bayo because I much prefer dodging than blocking-I love the feeling of constant motion, being completely untouchable while raining destruction on the enemies. Meanwhile, with Viola, I can never really seem to get the timing right with the block, causing me to get hit because I apparently should've done it a millisecond or so sooner, or I could be in the middle of a combo when an enemy decides to fuck me up and I can't block in time, and some of these enemies attack really goddamn fast, too. So, overall, Viola's parrying method for Witch Time isn't for me. But, I'm glad you enjoy it.

people were way too hard on her before the game came out, the amount of "dyed hair millenial" shit I saw that claimed she was somehow gonna be a bad character irked me. glad she's getting some love.

[@FEKana]

Personally,while she isn't awful, she does nothing for me to really like her like I did with Bayonetta,Jeanne, Balder or even Luka. I feel like not enough of her character was really explored in the story. Hopefully if they make a next game they dive deeper into her personality because she could work as the opposite of Bayonetta.

Alot of people dislike Viola, but I like her. I mean im not going to deny that Bayonetta is number 1 and I don't think Viola can carry the series without her, but she has her own charm that separates her from the likes of Bayo, Jeanne and even Rodin. While they are the epitome of powerful with swagger and elegance, Viola is unique in that sense, she's alot more humourus which I suppose is due to the fact that Luka is her father, but she's also equal parts powerful and badass.

[@jacobleyh993]

Aside from the fact you don’t think she can carry the torch, I agree with you on everything. But Viola doesn’t just have the power as badassery from her mother. She also has the one of the three core things that make every Cereza in the multiverse Bayonetta: Conviction.

In my opinion, the series NEEDED to have this reset if it were to survive. Where do you go from bayonetta 3 power wise? We controll three demons, two weapon sets at a time, witch time, the counter, myriad of weapon choices and demom choices, multiple forms and costumes... we have killed God, destroyed the angels and devils, defeated the concept of chaos itself... I felt like they literally went all out with this game. I want viola to be the next protagonist. Decreases power level. Changes character from a nearly invincible bad ass to a clutz, but strong willed individual that has a high potential for growth. I wanna see her impro e as a character. Watch her go on lower tiered adventures. I wanna see her make her parents proud. I've been playing these games since the pre-patch ps3 (the one where the pause screen load time was like a minute long). I bought a wii u just to play bayo 2 (yeah, a wii u just to play bayo 3). Pre-ordered bayo 3 on Amazon back when they still had $50 pre orders on December 2 2018... I'm not top tier at playing them, but I love the genre and the series.

[@pokefanover900000000]

She's so endearing.....

[@qwmx]

I feel they did Viola dirty. She's meant to be the new bayonetta, but all we saw in the entire game was someone in the "baby" stages of character development where we have just met her and are beginning to get to know her as Viola, and then she receives that title, which feels very undeserved from my point of view. Yes, it's sweet that Viola got the rights to be called "Bayonetta", after passing the test, but that's all there is, it just feels empty from my perspective as an audience. She helps save the world with her mum and she passes her mum's test, but she herself as a character feels like she's still undefined. If they have given Viola more time to develop, maybe through spin-off games featuring her and then have the title handed off to her, I think the name pass off will feel much more emotionally impacting as we as the audience haven't just seen Viola grow as a person, but we, through Cereza, are handing over that special title, which we associate with our favourite amnesiac heroine and the perseverance and strength she possesses, to Viola. This title might be a simple family memento from mother to daughter in the game lore, but for the audience (at least to me) it is a passing of a torch and we are expected to see Viola be a new "Bayonetta" in future games. Titles in this case meant to represent spiritual successors and the next carrier of the spirit (of feat, strength, memories etc.) of which the name holds.

[@qwmx]

Even if the Bayonetta was Viola's mum from her world, the title hand off still feels empty and undeserved.

Unless I missed something, I was really looking forward to understanding how Viola even trained to become a witch in the first place since she seems to be missing quite a few qualities even standard witches we've seen have. (doesn't summon demons with hair, doesn't even have a pact with a demon - rather Chesire is helping her willingly for some reason; if I missed something still, let me know!) She's a fun character to watch while also breaking the idea of what makes a witch a witch. There's so many interesting lore aspects in her character they really didn't explore in Bayonetta 3 I'd like to see.

[@saramations]

I don't think you missed anything. The game doesn't explain much, but the way I saw it was Viola was just raised differently than her mother. Several centuries between them and Viola wasn't raised within a coven. I think it's a good and interesting contrast between them. ☺️ Just under explored...

[@theotherohlourdespadua1131]

I lean with the reply's argument: Bayo is a 400+ year old Umbran Witch that is considered by her own clan as a heretical abomination which she was discriminated against and grew up with her mother physically separated from her all her life. That is not a healthy environment to grow up in. The way I see it is that she either has no idea how to teach Viola how to be an Umbran Witch (Jeanne is canonically the more skilled of the two, Bayo just have that Shounen MC plot armor) or - treading into YMMV territory - she saw her own training as a problem and wanted to "save" her from a brutal afterlife. Being an Umbran Witch after all is a predestined fate: they will go to Inferno...

[@roxlyde8163]

Umbra culture ended with Jeanne and Cereza, probably. with the new bayonetta spin-off it seems pretty clear Cheshire was one of Cereza's first demons and its protecting her kin in more of a personal relationship than a contract, that's why he's bound to her sword instead of her.

[@imtrash2812]

what great about Viola that she make half of fanbase really like her and other half hate to the bone

[@astraldog3359]

She was always going to be divisive(heck Cereza is very divisive/hated among gamers, but that's their problem) but Viola is much easier to sell as a main character, eventually people will warm up to her. I hope to play as Bayonetta again, but Viola is a fun punk, i like that she keeps her daddy's dorky side

[@LostChildOfTime]

I’m still warming up to Viola, but I LOVE this song. Definitely my favorite Bayonetta 3 song and probably my second or third favorite song in the series.

[@hartantoanggoro]

Nero got Devil Trigger, Viola got Ghost. Fitting indeed.

[@sen8368]

Viola and nero would totally be bros capcom and Nintendo/ sega PLEASE give us that dmc x bayonetta crossover game

[@rodrigocampos1820]

My biggest disappointment is that they didn't create a hub were you can control bayonetta and move her freely around, let's say, the gates of hell. You could have access to a jukebox and gallery there, as well as the shop, training room connected to the jukebox, access to chapters, changing room... Idk it would just feel right at this point getting rid of the chapter selection map or it could even be implemented within the hub I'm talking about. Training room should definitely and easily be improved: just add more variety for enemies, jukebox within the training room, or infinite health options. Just more options in general would be a nice touch and not too difficult task to accomplish. Let us be loud everybody. Platinum Games are listening and I believe we're not done yet with Bayonetta3 patches and dlcs

[@owodeluxe_channel]

I think they originally did have plans to make the game completely open world with that portal island connecting the universes and such and potentially that gates of hell idea you have, but they most likely had to cut it down since it's the switch we're talking about

[@Kimarnic]

Nintendo is ruining every franchise they end up owning Bayo 3 could be so good and beautiful, like Bayo 1, but it looks like shit and 30 fps

[@jasondillon2462]

This rocks! Can't wait to play as her once i get the game in the mail! I think I've got a new favorite character!

Playing as Viola was something of a pain in the ass for most of her time in the game. But when you consider how inexperienced she is. It kind of makes sense.

[@saeko1488]

I love that she have the same Japanese V.A. than Jolyne Cujoh in the games, I'm sure they would br best friends if they met

[@SailorMars768]

Viola is such an obvious nod to Nero and her theme just further cements it, huge Devil Trigger vibes.

[@RicardoCon94]

This song and Viola sent me back to the 2000s. I love it. Felt like I was looking through the CD section of a music store around that time.

[@arcane_blade3170]

What a fucking banger, seriously

[@StylishCreature]

It's definitely best track in game

[@abowlofsangria3412]

Viola is so adorable. I love her

[@blue__zack]

I know a lot of people don’t like her but you have to remember the first Bayonetta game is about Cereza finding out who she is- give Viola a game to figure out who she is as a protagonist and she’ll be a smash hit

[@RayzeCruxis]

The issue was the game gave her chances but made her clumsy for whatever reason other than being Luka's kid. And even then, I couldn't help but make comparisons to DMC5 with the approach. If they were gonna do that, they should've gotten Bingo to fix the story and character approach.

[@blue__zack]

@@RayzeCruxis ya see I haven’t played any of the dmc games so it didn’t really bug me, however I do understand why people have been making the comparison- also I don’t see why Viola being clumsy is a bad thing, shes still a kid I thought it was charming. And once again maybe She’ll grow out of it by Bayo 4, we haven’t met protagonist Viola yet

[@friendlyanomaly6109]

@@blue__zack Luka never grew out of it. Lol. She's no replacement for Cereza lol.

[@blue__zack]

@@friendlyanomaly6109 who ever said she had to replace Cereza? No one is going to be as iconic as Cereza- Viola should get to be her own character not a diet version of her parents

[@GloriousFate]

When I saw her first i thought she would be so fkin annoying. She's now in my top 5 characters in Bayo.

[@plushkun5965]

listening to this hype myself up for the release tomorrow. Can't wait

[@HatsunPidgeon]

Im actually looking forward to the 4th game and seeing what they do with Viola as the next Bayonetta

[@NukeA6]

That's if Platinum is going that route. Keep in mind that each game so far is its universe (which is why the final fight was the way it was). Cereza may still be the lead.

[@saeko1488]

I would prefeer to keep with a Bayonetta, but Viola deserves her own Spin-Off

[@benjiammin]

If we only ever get a Nero/Viola teamup instead of Dante/Bayonetta, the music will be worth it.

[@cobaltordinaire5219]

Broke: Nero/Viola teamup Woke: Cheshire/Nico/Van teamup

[@shazamam]

This sounds like one of those old school 90’s Themes from those morning cartoons before school like pepper Ann and loved the song everytime it came on.

[@SuperGodKingKRool]

I welcome her with open arms to the bayo series.

[@ghostkirby1255]

My favorite theme and song in the game it’s too catchy man

[@imarock.7662]

Omg, she literally is this games Nero. This theme is sick af.

[@flare1547]

I thought it was going to be like Nero from DMC4. But they are very different, because Nero is very powerful... and in every fight he is always superior to his rivals, although obviously he is not stronger than Dante. Viola on the other hand doesn't come close to Bayonetta's heels, every fight she has costs her a lot and that is reflected in the gameplay since playing with Viola is more difficult than with Bayonetta. Other than that Viola doesn't have those "cool" moments as she is very clumsy and even cartoonish.

[@grizzlybear6377]

[@nanrandomungjavel9738]

I love how this contrasts the music we associate with Bayonetta. Bayonetta is more upbeat jazz while this is just punk rock.

[@Abbendys]

I just hope bayonetta/jeanne don't disappear because of Viola 😢

[@dhampir_days]

if anything this game has taught us, we can have multiple universes lol, especially with the B3 universe/Egyptian princess and companion dynamic. imagine a BayoJeanne kid showing up and meeting Viola, would be kinda awkward.

[@zephyrerazortail5478]

Spoilers Well, Rodin mentioned her "pops" at the end, so either they're talking to him from Hell, or it's another version of Luka. Meaning another version of Bayo too.

[@EnkiDootDoot]

People were hard on Viola, but I think she’s just going through her DMC4 Nero phase. Let her hit her DMC5 phase, then I’ll pass judgment
