It's not so much
how it ended, but WHERE it ended. I understand it's probably the biggest nit-pick I can find with the plot, but I really didn't think ending the story with Dante and Kat perched over a burning city overrun with demons was the best place to put it. Personally, I would've liked an after-credits scene in the same vein as the one from
Berserk Golden Age Arc III: Descent, where you see Dante suit up and head off to fight off the new demonic threat that's been unleashed.
But that's just me, though. If Ninja Theory decides to put something else entirely, that actually aids the story in a different way, I'm all up for it. That's probably more than Capcom is going to do with
Devil May Cry 4's Special Edition.
Yea, it was a little anti-climatic with how abruptly the credits just started showing.
For fun, I imagine this. After Kat comforts Dante, you see them walking away from the battle ground where Dante notices his new look in the mirror. His white hair and red demonic eyes slowly fading back to normal. Brushing his hand through his hair, "You know, I think I could get use to this."
Suddenly, we find ourselves seeing a small time skip and the demons still causing problems for a city that's trying to rebuild. On a city street with a liquor shop named "Redgrave's Wholesale Liquor",(yes, it looks virtually identical to Devil May Cry) a For Sale sign is visible in the window and the camera slowly zooms in.
You hear some kind of ruckus going on in the building. A demon just quickly crashed through the window out in to the street. Its pinned to the ground by Rebellion sticking out of its chest. From the demon's point of view, there's Dante standing in the window with a demon under his arm and a bottle of liquor in the other. He's wearing a red coat and his hair is a tad longer.
He takes a sip from the bottle of booze in his hand, "Look, you're not in Limbo anymore, and if you're gonna go around thinking you can throw your crazy parties wherever you want in my town," he smashes the bottle in to the demon's eye socket and throws it to the ground with the object popping out the back of its skull, "You best make sure I get the invite!"
He slowly walks over to the demon as it's frantically trying to lift Dante's sword from its chest. It makes a loud screeching sound which signals an alert to other demons. They start popping out from behind street corners and rooftops all around them. Dante rips Rebellion upwards through the demon's chest splitting its face in half silencing the creature for good.
As the demons start to gather around, Dante throws Rebellion over his shoulder analyzing the pack. They suddenly go on the attack where Dante just softly speaks, "Let's rock".
