I know. In the classic series Vergil did not conduct ambushes. Every time he fought Dante he announced his presence and made him fully aware of his intention to start a fight. Even Arkahm, Vergil had the decency to kill him face to face rather than backstab him. Hell, even when corrupted by Mundus Vergil led Dante out into the courtyard rather than fighting in that cramped room. The writers at Ninja Theory really had no idea what kind of person Vergil was, otherwise they wouldn't have written this scene the way it is.

[@garrettcarter2959]

Mundas' monologuing really undercuts the emotional impact the game is trying to sell. Instead of "You don't fuck with a god," he should've been "MY BOY!" And from that point on, he should go into an unstoppable rage whenever he sees Dante, who basically acquired Litlith for her execution. How much better would it have been if my his boss fight, he was all, "My son's blood is on your hands." Instead, it's back to the god stuff and how so much better he is than Dante. I know they wanted to remind you that he was the bad guy, but by this point, the stakes should've been more personal. These two have been a thorn in his side, sure, but now they hit him where it hurts and he hates himself for allowing them to make it this far. He should no longer care about the titles, the history, the bloodlines, the only thing that matters is what they did to him here and now. The way he is now, it doesn't feel like he cared about his son that much at all. The monologuing devolves Mundas back to any other villain, no more important than Bob Barbus even. There is practically no difference between them other than aesthetics and the artificial importance the plot insists upon. Mundas had every opportunity to be written as a better character by this point in the story, but the game chose not to. Even without the controversy, this game would've been torn apart for it's legitimate story problems.

[@jman2856]

If that’s the case, why does Muundus ask Dante why did he kill his child in a saddened tone of voice? If his child is just a tool, why does he suddenly need to understand why Dante killed his child? Also, he gets furious when Dante makes fun of his child’s death. Obviously, Muundus cares.

"is sanity the price to pay for POWER?" Virgil would say "Yes....scum"

[@VergilHiltsLT]

@@junior1388666 He always had a code of honor. He was proud because of who his father was, and he would never ambush an opponent, let alone shoot him/it in the back with a GUN, something Vergil was always strictly against. Because he sees guns as a dishonorable way to fight, utilizing a simple to use mechanism someone built to "cheat" rather than using pure skill and the power within yourself, the way of a true warrior. Therefore, this is a direct opposite of Vergil from the original games. He only tries Dante's way with guns once at the end of DMC3, to finish off Arkham with a single shot, and only because Arkham knocked one of the guns out of Dante's hand, which Vergil happened to catch. It's not about the baby, it's about the way Vergin dealt with it.

If you look at the notes for when they released the Definitive Edition, they actually refer to this scene as a way to explain why Kat knew about the layout of Mundus' fortress. That's what they thought the problem that needed fixing was. Not Vergil assassinating a pregnant woman and killing her child before putting her out of her misery, but "How did Kat know how to navigate the tower."

For real can we take a moment to really look at how this game completely neutered two of the coolest characters in the franchise just to push Donte? Sparda was this legendary badass that you only really ever heard about in the original series but even then you could feel how powerful and demanding of respect he was even if he wasn’t around. Here? He’s practically nothing but a guy who ran off cause he banged a chick his bro didn’t like. Vergil was this tragic figure obsessed with power who held himself as a cool collected and powerful swordsman while having an honorable and prideful standard. Here? He’s a wimp who needs his brother to fight most of his battles for him and shoots babies.

[@ligtningdog6399]

I wouldn't even say it was to push Donte. Remove their names and all you have are generic "dead" parent, and morality grey/corrupted "ally". They're only called Sparda and Vergil, for the same reasons that Donte's DT gives him red jacket. Because "we wanted this to be more like original series"

Speaking of Japanese weapon, I have wondered for a long time what Yamato's design means lore wise. The sword is presumably two thousand years old (or roughly so), and yet I'm pretty sure katanas didn't exist back then. Is that meant to imply that Japan got the idea for the katana from Sparda's yamato? Or was it something Sparda picked up from ancient Japan, and was presumably lost to time until they rediscovered it centuries later? Just curious what any of you think on the subject.

[@darrianweathington1923]

[@PolarPhantom]

@@rustledentity5511 In terms of lore? Dunno. But in terms of symbolism, the name "Yamato" and its design is meant to convey the idea of order and tradition. This is in contrast to Dante's sword, Rebellion.

[@illburnmydread]

@@rustledentity5511 Maybe the name of the sword refers to the old Japanese tale of the eight headed serpent Orochi. There is a blade that coming forth of one of its tail, which at some point wielded by a man named Yamato Takeru to control wind. But the blade was not even thousand years old, it was just about 15 years old. And the idea of creating it was not coming from Sparda's time, it was from Hideki Kamiya's time in Capcom.

Foolishness, fetus, foolishness

[@DenimGiant]

So I had an idea on how to fix this game's story and make it interesting. When Sparda (a demon knight who turned against his own kind and married an angel, living with her on earth and fighting for humanity) and his wife Eva (Angel who similarly abandoned heaven to live on Earth) are found by the demon assassins, Eva grabs the boys and runs while Sparda stays to fight the demons, Dante gets separated and somehow escapes but is lost. Eva and Vergil are cornered by an assassin demon and Eva is slain but as she dies, Vergil absorbs her power, which causes his previously black hair to become white with power, but makes him easier to track because his power is detectable while Dante is below the radar but still strong. This explains why Vergil is in hiding. Sparda is captured and chained, and is kept in Mundus' personal chambers a trophy of his triumph and superiority. He's also possibly being used as a battery of power? (Depends on whether you want to paint Mundus as a leech of power, the cause for his world dominating power?). Then the game proceeds as normal. Dante is who he is and at the end when he kills Mundus, he frees his father who is emaciated but proud of his son, he dies in his son's arms, Dante absorbs his pwoer and his hair becomes white, and he absorbs his father as a Devil Arm, the sword Sparda. Instead we got this.

[@MARPOLO13]

If Dante slashed and hacked at the demon baby and it didn't die, but Vergil just shot it and killed it along with it's mother, does that mean Vergil has demon bullet powers to go along with his Vergil DMR?

The biggest thing that makes the original Mundus and breaks this Mundus is their portrayal. In DMC1 Mundus was just a generic demon king sure, but the way he was framed gave you the sense that he was a huge threat. All the demons talk about how despite how powerful Dante is he’s nothing compared to Mundus, to give a specific example just look at anytime Dante and Griffon interact. On top of that the first room of the castle shows a giant statue of Mundus that disappeared when you returned and certain camera angels almost felt like you were seeing Dante from the emperor of darkness’ perspective. Finally there’s the matter of what Mundus himself does in the game. He orders his demons who follow him to a T and even kills Griffon himself for being too weak and unworthy to serve him. When you finally got to Mundus he was this massive angelic statue in a holy cathedral, and he than summons himself and Dante to a realm where they would fight, and he was a very challenging boss. Basically Mundus in DMC1 was portrayed as being a powerful threat that you need to be at your best to even hope to take on. In DmC Mundus is portrayed as being the big bad of the game but we have too many scenes of him losing his cool when his minions fail. He’s set up as a major threat but every scene shows him as being nothing more than an edgy businessman with the temperament of the original Cobra Commander. His forms in the game are essentially businessman and blob, none of which present him as being anything that would be even remotely powerful as the final boss, and his actual boss fight is so easy you’d be forgiven for thinking he was about to reveal that there’s still a few more hours of game time to deal with the real threat. He’s the villain of a children’s cartoon but played straight and it only serves to make him seem like one of the least threatening villains ever.

You know, I think I've finally figured out what pisses me off the most about this game. The fact that its themes and purpose are so antithetical to one another. The game has an obvious anti-capitalist bent to its story (what with the demon king controlling the world through debt) but the whole reason this game exists is because Devil May Cry 4 (in spite of being the best selling entry in the series) didn't pull CoD numbers. This game rails against corporate greed while owing its entire existence to a corporation's greed not being satisfied!

[@ultraspinalki11]

2:44 *"There's something about being a parent that it doesn't matter which side you're on."* But see the problem here is that Lilith made it VERY CLEAR earlier that she doesn't care about the baby she's carrying, stating "I'm nothing to Mundus without this BRAT", therefore there is no reason for me to feel bad for her despite Lilith being a parent.

About the time slow being localized to Dante. In limbo pretty much every character has shown the ability to "influence" the world around them. Dante's DT is pretty much a repackaged quicksilver so his domain of influence may more closely related to time. Thats my best guess.

[@CRAZEH247]

6:40 At this point, Vergil doesn't WANT to show himself. Vergil in the whole car chase sequence is in the real world. Dante keeps getting pulled into Limbo every time demons show up nearby. That's what happens to him all the time. The game literally started with this explanation. Everytime he kills the petty demons he gets back out of limbo, which is when everything is at normal speed. It's happened quite a lot in limbo where shit is floating around and not moving or moving (or even simply EXISTING) unnaturally. The time stop thing is the least confusing of them. They need to lure Mundus away from his office... because there's a giant portal right next to him to Hell which he gets his power from. Vergil is using Dante's presence as a SOS to piss off Mundus. It's also why he shot the babby because he's willing to sacrifice as many people as needed to defeat Mundus. The logic is sound, but nobody wants to look at it or even remember it. Why am I the one trying to defend the story of this game which I don't really like either... wtf.

[@hibarikyoya854]

Except by this point in the game Vergil's face was on the news and Mundus wiped both his and Dante's memories so how does Mundus not know about Vergil's existence?

@@hibarikyoya854 Mundus didn't wipe their memories. Their memories were wiped before that so they wouldn't accidentally reveal themselves as children. They need time to grow into full nepheline so they were hidden away.

@@CRAZEH247 oh shit you're right I totally forgot that my bad. But the problem of Mundus having Vergil's picture and somehow not seeing he is identical to Dante still remains. Him sneaking around so he doesn't get dragged into limbo makes sense cause he won't have access to the computers the problem is the whole game they show him incapable of combat even in scenarios were it would have been safe to use his powers but in the end he is on par with Dante.

[@CRAZEH247]

@@hibarikyoya854 oh don't get me wrong there's plenty of issues with the story. The only way I can defend not seeing the pictures is that he only went after Eva himself. The rest was his demon army to destroy their home. Dante found the family picture by chance if I recall and he kinda stumbles upon it. I imagine if Mundus lost his shit when he found out that Sparda being a demon brother went and married an angel then just went on a rampage of destruction of whoever his army could find in the mansion. We already saw him lose his shit and destroy the whole city without thinking twice. So it could be plausible. I think I remember reading somewhere about how Dante was thrown into a shithole to help him grow stronger, because he was the softer of the brothers. Whilst Vergil showed he was already good with using his Nephilim powers so he went to a human family to grow a heart. I can't remember where I read about this though.

[@YourFavoriteDakimakura]

Because Dante isn't in Limbo for that mission I guess? Like Mundus probably lost control of his powers, namely the one that allows him to drag Dante into Limbo, and the line between it and the real world got a bit blurred so the two could interact with each other, which is why the city gets destroyed for real. Kinda like how killing Mundus at the end of the game kind of just gets rid of Limbo altogether and demons can just waltz into the real world.

Stupid thing 12: the absurdity of the hostage trade/getaway segment. Forgetting for a moment the sheer stupidity of Vergil's abortinator rifle and custom Vergil mobile car, it is ridiculous that the SWAT team didn't manage to kill Kat in that crossfire. Limbo breaking its established rules of only warping its own space and slowing time in potions of it because -the plot demands tension- Mundus got angry enough to take things seriously is even more insulting, as it's a contrived action-setpiece that's only there to forcefully ramp up tension.
