Re: Why should Vergil NOT come back?

Alright, I can see you're a bit...TOUCHY, to say the least. All I pointed out was that the first post of the thread was a rhetorical question. I didn't flame anybody, or bash it, just pointed out the truth. There's no answer to the question "prove that Vergil shouldn't come back?" and you know it. That's like saying "prove god exists" to a Christian.
Also...I'm fully aware that's why Vergil thirsts for power, what I was saying is they could SHOW his fall from grace, something DMC hasn't ever done. And nice big words...never heard somebody use a tongue twister like "hyperbolic and tautological."
Apologies if I offended you, I guess
On the contrary, you are the one who seems touchy about having to answer within guidelines, like just about every person who has posted in this thread. I'm not offended, but I am exasperated with the same tired complaints to a valid question.
The premise of the thread is not rhetorical. It is a genuine question. If you believe there is no answer to it, then that is your answer. And no, it isn't like asking someone to prove god exists. It is like asking someone for a logical argument for the exclusion of a character from a fictional series, as opposed to their "feelings" about why he should not come back.
Yes, I realize that even this logical argument would be "subjective" (although the distinction is superfluous since by one estimation all things are subjective). I also realize that I use words that people don't use in everyday speech, but thanks for pointing out that irrelevant fact for the 100th time.
In any case, your response is noted. There is no reason within the guidelines that Vergil should not come back.

I'm on both sides with this. But Vergil shouldn't come back because this is about Dante, not Vergil. Sure Vergil is a big part of Dante's life and that would be the only logical explanation to put him in the game. But I still think the game should focus 100% (give or take a few) about Dante.
I don't believe that is within the guidelines. The only reason people think DMC is about Dante is that, until now, DMC has been about Dante. It is circular reasoning and invalid. If Vergil had been the main character of DMC1, then DMC would be Vergil. Really, the only plot element that is necessary for DMC is Sparda, although the twins are both an integral part of the existing story.
