Kat from St. Catherine?

Don't Let the Fall of America be Your Fall
This is what I recently read from the DMC wiki. Not good info but it caught my attention.

Kat is short for Catherine and is also the name of St. Catherine of Alexandria, a Christian martyr who converted thousands to Christianity. Her final attempt was during a visit to the Roman emperor Maxentius when she attempted to convert him to Christianity, even converting several pagan debators in the process. A furious Maxentius then ordered Catherine to be executed on a spiked breaking wheel. However, the wheel was miracously destroyed and Maxentius beheaded her. After death, her remains were carried by angels to Mt. Sinai.

What if that's ho Kat dies? If she does die. Her head get's cut off an an Angel (Dante) takes her to heaven, but he can't come with her, cause he's a demon and is sent back to Earth.
 
Nice try but i think her name is Kat as in Cat. I remember watching a movie called "Cat's eyes".
A movie that showed what a Cat had seen throughout the movie.

Kat can see limbo.

I think my theory why Kat is called Kat is because of a cat seems more likely.
I look at Kat and her eyes seems so "animal" like to be honest :P
 
Well, I certainly hope so because if they chose a name out of a hat and it hold no deeper meaning then they aren't really tring that hard with the story.
 
Not in DMC. Every name is in some way shape or form chosen because of relevance. They are ether literary names or religious refrences.
 
This isn't the first similarity to Christianity in DmC. We all know that it has a major influence from The Divine Comedy, so it wouldn't surprise me if Kat is derived from Saint Catherine.

I honestly don't believe Kat is based off a cat.

Devil May Cry has always been based off of religion, not animals.

It's DmC not DMC.

And DmC is infact based off on things other than religion. Inception, They live movie, etc. And the jacket Dante is wearing with british flag is based off the country not a religion.

But let's look at it with a sharp mind ok?
Kat guides Dante and is his "path whisperer" correct?
There is a movie called "Cat's eyes" in which the movie emphazies what a Cat sees. (just putting that out there)
Kat's eyes look animal like (a big large and hypnotising).
And NT is a UK studio.

And In UK there is something called "Cat's eyes" which is in context of a road.
Road = a path.

Kat = Shows path for Dante

Hint hint? No?

1. Don't be a smart ass. I was referring to the Devil May Cry series as a whole.
2. The British flag is a reference to Ninja Theory being a British studio.
3. How do Kat's eyes look like a animals? I don't see it.
4. I've said this before, DMC has always been a religious based game series. Almost everyone is based off some one else.

Dante is of course named after the Italian poet Dante Alighieri, who wrote the Divine Comedy. Vergil is based off the Roman poet, Publius Vergilius Maro. He was a character of The Divine Comedy.

Sorry but you may look at DmC as part of DMC (with capital M) series, but i see it as a new serie of it's own called DmC serie the Devil may Cry not Devil May Cry.

Kat's eyes gave me a assosciation to a wolfs eye.

Also on religion based game, your talking as if DMC or DmC is just based ONLY on religion stuff? DMC Dante was based off manga character plus Blade the vampire plus the name from D.C.

And just to correct you, i am not being a smart ass, i am just telling it as the way it is.

(facepalm) DmC is part of the series. Saying otherwise makes no sense. That's like saying Casino Royale isn't part of the James Bond series just because it's a reboot.

I don't see your "assosciation" to a wolf's eye.

Your next statement is so convoluted and illegible that I can hardly reply to it.

And yes, you were being a smart ass. I didn't even refer to it as DMC. I said Devil May Cry.

James Bond or 007 is a agent alias. Anyone can become 007. What doesn't make sense is how you can tie a new game to a already estalbished one just because they have similarities. Similarities that are there for sales only because of fanbase's like of Dante and Vergil etc.
Let me illustrate that ok? Let's say after DmC (1) comes DmC 2-3, then after this they reboot again and make dMC (with lowercase d) and same scenario of sequals. Then after dMC comes DMc (lowercase c) and DMc will also have 3 sequals like DmC and dMC.
Will you then say "Ehrm well dMC, DMc and DmC are all part of DMC serie"? If there is anything that doesn't make sense it's that way of thinking.

Fair enough on eye part.

And no i wasn't being a smart ass.

What? If you had any grasp of the James Bond series, you would know it was a reboot. Its an adaption of the first novel, Casino Royale. Also, his name is James Bond, he didn't just acquire the code name.

Yes, it does make sense to group them together. They all use the same gameplay mechanics and all have recurring traits (stylish combat, swordplay, gun play, demons, etc)
Not only that, they share the same name! And don't tell me they don't, just because DmC has a lower case 'm' in it.

Well if you define a term called "Devil May Cry group" that would fill in all games related to DMC in that group because they have similarities, then i will still say DmC is not DMC.

Again you look at reboot with your own perspective, and i look at it with mine.
Though my perspective is better because reality is reboots are done because it's easier to reboot a already established game because it has a fanbase than making a new game with new character and story.

Example if Capcom wanted they could make a new game with new title, new characters, story and new but VERY similar gameplay like DMC.
But they didn't. Because if DmC and it's character was named something other than DmC and Dante, Capcom would risk bad sales.
 
There is a possibility that you could both be right. There is also the possibility that you could both be wrong! Fact is, neither of you know, so arguing over whose theory is the correct one is pointless.

I am right. Whether DmC is part of a group called "Devil May Cry" ALONG with DMC, DmC will never be DMC and vice versa.

DMC was heavily influenced by religion but that doesn't mean DmC will be the same because they aren't the same games. Though it's a fact already that DmC and DMC has been influenced by other things than religion. So i am again right there.

I will give two examples.
DmC the order: punk influenced group
DMC Dante: Cobra manga character, Blade the vampire, D.C Dante and Japanese folklore shaped him.

I meant your theories about Kat's name, not all that other jibberjabber you two are argueing about.

Pretty confident my theory about Kat being named Kat is because of Cat's eyes road thing.
It has more thing backing it up than St. Catherine theory.

DmC Dante's look and story is influenced by UK culture, and Cat's eyes road is a invention from UK.

It enlightens people. Just like how Kat enlightens Dante on his path.
And Kat can SEE Limbo (Cat's EYES).

I would rate St.Catherine theory like 3/10
and mine 6/10.

Your theory is still just a theory. It doesn't matter how "good" it is.
