Just to start things:
1 - If you dislike Nero strongly, try to hold youserlf a little to not turn the discussion into some pointless child fight club. You're not here to say how much you hate Nero or how he's a walking plothole (we all know that, no need for repetition), and i would ask you to create another thread if you just wanna to spite all your hate for him or the old series here.
2 - As "1" makes kinda clear: if you think that old series plot, story, characters and the game as a whole is just anime-ish, weaboo bullshit, just avoid posting here and ruining all the topic. Go discuss the outstanding story of DmC in that specific area of the forum reserved for this game, this topic was made with the purpose to talk only about the old series, although it's not specific for DMC4 as we going to talk and speculate about things of the past and future (if it comes to be).
3 - I know that already had other threads like that, but all i see in these threads were people discussing canon or talking how much they dislike Nero and how he's a giant plothole to the series. This thread has a different take on that as i will explain following the text.
I and Lionheart was discussing on his page about how could Nero be developed (gameplay and story-wise), and come up with some little ideas, i will summarize some of mine and his ideas to give you all some notion, my purposes were as follows:
- If he's really Vergil's son, his personality could be developed acquiring some Vergil's traits to give us this "father-son" feeling and do some fanservice to see Vergil "living" in another character. One example cold be that cold look of Vergil while he engages demons in battle, but at the same time showing that he has a kind and passionate heart for those he loves (different from Vergil in that way).
- Give him a more important role, and develop him in a way that if needed he could take Dante's place somewhere in time if they feel the series will need some fresh air and new characters in the future.
- Keep devil bringer and exceed mechanics and develop them more, while trying to give him a more extended arsenal, to keep the exceed mechanic coherent with plot/canon, he could dual-handle most of his weapons (like Vergil do with Yamato + Force Edge), Red Queen would ever be in his hand while he attain the power of other devil arms or weapons. The button mapping could be an issue, but he still has the D-PAD buttons to work with.
Basically, i and Lionheart said very similar things, he throwed out some ideas about weapons for Nero and a DT for him. Something about he acquiring some lust for power just like his father for a little time but realizing that is not the way to protect those he loves. I'll ask him to come "personaly" here and talk to us in detail about his ideas too.
I'm kinda lazy to make a wall of text right now talking about how they can fit him in the story, considering that he's really Vergil's son (i'm assuming this is true, feel free to come up with your own theories, it's good to hear some other ideas on the character and it's the whole purpose of the topic). But i have some ideas on how to make this true and will go in detail with that later.
Important advice:
*The purpose of this topic is just to speculate and throw some ideas about how you would like to see Nero's development if the old series continues. Obviously, it would be good for you to do your best to stay coherent with the presented canon until now, but feel free to speculate and theorize. It will work more as an exercise to your creativity than to linking A to B in the canon.
Tells us what's your take on the boy's future as a playable character and about his story
