How do you think Devil May Cry exists in this version?

[s8ntmark]

At first i was thinking Dante could run it out of his trailer, but then it occurred to me, Devil May Cry should be a completely online business. With the more modern approach that these games take, a whole office seems a little unlikely. It makes more sense that people in need, who know a friend of a friend who knows about Dante, can hire him. (or maybe there's a business card with the site address on it taped to a newspaper dispenser or something....Just the name and the site address, nothing else). Dante would come to them (Like in DMC2) Basically, you would find Dante the way people find out about Raves....they aren't advertised they are very underground, and you have to know someone to know about it.

But that's just my opinion, how do You think Devil May Cry should be handled in the new Series?

EDIT: Nevermind my nonsense! I didn't understand at first, pardon me. Good idea though <3

I think it could be somewhat like in the first novel (that's how I did it in my concept project). He'd be like a mercenary that gets jobs in a bar through informants.

No.
No
nononononono. No online. Please for the love of god, no..

So what then?

I LIKE that

I doubt it could function like a paranormal investigation and resolution agency as it was implied to in the previous games, seeing as killing Mundas has merged Reality and Limbo causing demons to simply exist tangibly in the real world rather than manifesting in specific locations.

Besides, owning your own business and having your own income isn't cool enough for DmC's exciting vision.

DEDUCTION TIME!

I kinda do wonder, there was practically no reason to name this one Devil May Cry, other than the fact that it was riding off an already existing series.

In every last DMC game, a devil or half devil had the ability to shed tears for a loved one and in the first three, the line
"Devil's Never Cry"
would be present, coming from Dante's mouth.

Here Dante does cry, but he has an angel side to balance out the devil within him, nor does he say, "Devil's never cry". It makes you wonder, were they even trying to stay true to what balanced out Dante's power to make him relatable?

But the thing is that he believes himself to be human even after Vergil tells him he isn't. Vergil explicitly tells him that he's not human in the ending and he just shrugs it off. So I think they were trying to make him relatable by making it so that he doesn't care WHAT he is, he's a human in his own eyes.

As for the question posited by the title: It might exist in the next game as the name of some kind of demon resistance. Other for that, nothin'.

Yet at the end of the game, he's in the midst of an identity crisis where he doesn't know what he is. Remember, that's why Kat tells him "You're Dante!", which is pretty much the foulest insult imaginable. Christ Kat, what did he ever do to you? Apart from getting millions of people killed by proxy and failing to show any guilt of course.

I believe we're asking if the Devil May Cry company, which is to say Dante's office and the legitimate face of his adventures, can exist within the DmC setting. Still, you've hit upon something that bothers me too.

Even Lillith starts crying immediately before Vergil heroically dispatches her, so it's not like demons are incapable of weeping in this setting as far as we can infer. We've had this conversation before, but the reason the original series had that name is because:

1. It's a play on the term "Devil May Care", which alludes to Dante's aloof attitude.
2. Devils can't cry, and the fact that humans can signifies why we are inherently better creatures.

The fact that demons/devils can cry in DmC detracts from the latter factor. You could guiltlessly kill demons in DMC because they are literally emotionless monsters, in DmC they're just as emotionally diverse as us.

What do you guys think, is this for better or worse?

You make some valid points, but in the original series, Dante believed that anything with a heart was a human.
But I have to admit, that Lillith death scene did send chills down my spine as well.

The idea was, Vergil seemed more of a demon than her. I mean, giving someone a second to notice you KILLED THEIR UNBORN CHILD BEFORE KILLING THEM is just downright cruel. I mean really, Ninja Theory did an absolute terrible job at making Vergil a "misunderstood villain"

To me, it seemed like Vergil immediately regretted the decision. Like the second he shot her in the womb, Dante looks back at Vergil and the look he had on his face was "Oh god what have I done."
Either that or for the fun of it "Sorry...trigger happy."
