I liked to think of him as twenty-one. It just seems a little likely.

Lol, because 23 is apparently the new 40. XD
I kind of figured 21 or 22, myself. They're getting as bad as Capcom for evading questions.

Yeah, because 23 is just so oooold. :laugh: That whole age 30 thing is bad enough where society thinks you are over the hill, too old and life is over, especially if you have children. :facepalm:
I thought he could've been anywhere from 21 to maybe an immature 25 at the oldest. It's still in that age range where people are still a little rebellious, a bit immature, maybe confused and still finding out who they are.I kind of figured 21 or 22, myself.

Lol, that seems to be the general consensus; I'm only turning 27 in May, but I've pretty much sworn to myself I won't freak out when I hit thirty; I'll be damned if I give them the satisfaction.
Whoever they happen to be...
True, I hadn't really thought about it, but there are some 25-year-olds that make me think of 16-year-olds.
(Hell, there are 40-somethings that remind me of 16-year-olds; age doesn't mean squat, in a lot of cases, lol).

Exactly. Just take going 30 like any birthday. It's no big deal because it's just a number and doesn't dictate how a person should be in any way.
I felt a bit weird turning 20, so my friends decided I was twenteen instead, just to make me feel better. :laugh: For me, I don't think I'll care much when the inevitable 30 happens. Besides, maybe by 30, I won't be being mistaken for a 16 year old. :facepalm:
Not only people with immature minds, but there are also people who look older/ younger than their age, so it is hard to tell how old some people are. There can be young looking people who act immature but they're old, and old looking people who are actually younger, so it's hard to estimate true age sometimes.True, I hadn't really thought about it, but there are some 25-year-olds that make me think of 16-year-olds.

So a being that is immortal and doesn't really show any sign of aging....age is interesting to people? What for? To justify or target his maturity?
Are we seeking some type of player connection with the characters?
Find out next time on Dante's Gotta Be!

I don't remember Dante being immortal in any dmc games, he could definitely age as human does since he's only halfdevil and the fact sparda (may have, depending on personal interpretation of events) lived 2000 years or more in the original doesn't mean he has that trait.

Going with 21. He is chilling out at nightclubs and drinking in public after all. The bodyguard he decked told him he wasn't on the list, not to see his ID.

Dante must have aged considering we see images of him as a child. I don't think he'll get to his 20's and just stop growing. :tongue:
I also didn't see any signs that he was immortal. That wasn't covered in the game. If immortality was one of the traits of Nephilim, I would've thought it would have been explained in the game or hinted at. As it is, the only immortal being in the game was Mundus....that didn't do him any favours in the end. :tongue:
As for why people want to know his exact age, it's interesting to some people. No more and no less than that.
As for using his age to justify his maturity or lack of, no way. His actions during the events in the game speak more about his maturity than some numbers ever would.
And if people want to connect to him as a character, again, players usually do that through relating to character actions, beliefs, decisions made in the game and emotions shown during the course of the game.
That wold be a good indicator of his age.
Going to throw a spanner in the works though. It was Lilith's club, so maybe she was letting rich kid 18,19 or 20 year olds in too so that she could get them hooked on demonic substances. Human legal age for alcohol drinking wouldn't mean a thing to a demon who had an agenda to brainwash and manipulate rich kids using demon spiked alcohol and drugs.

I mean, we're all aware that demons in the Devil May Cry series have been constantly on display as immortal. All of these ageless demons like the Succubus, Agni and Rudra, Beowulf, Sparda, Mundus, Phantom, etc; can outlast Dante's lifespan by hiding for ages?
I do think Dante has taken on the immortal trait of his father Sparda in DMC. I think his aging is exactly like Wolverine's; It seems to stop at a certain age range and remain there for a vast amount of time. He can look the part of an old man but, that doesn't mean that he'd die of old age.
I really believe that in order for DMC Dante to die of old age, he'd have to desert his powers and embrace his human trait. I think this is what Sparda had done and with that, it allowed him to die of old age.
The Dante in DmC is another story, he could just be immortal.....maybe easier to kill in order to balance him out.
Nephilim are capable of surviving after death, in the case of Assiel, her spirit was locked within a statue of herself and had awoken when Dante made contact.
Immortality confirm? I'd like to think it is.

Why would I do that? Getting older is part of life, and certainly not something worth killing one's self over.

I was referring to the overblown drama people seem to have with age. Yahtzee once said at the end of one of his vids that "I don't want to live to see 40".Why would I do that? Getting older is part of life, and certainly not something worth killing one's self over.
This coincides with this one thing someone said to me once: "I don't wanna be 20".
Exercise. Get sleep. Avoid the sun. Drink milk. Take Tai Chi. There's your damn fountain of youth. Now stop whining.

She's not alive in the same way Dante is though; she was killed by demons, and presumably her soul is in that statue as some kind of punishment as the location of the statue is in the demon prison run by Barbas.
So if she can be killed, she is not immortal in the same way Mundus was said to be immortal. Immortality is something that is incapable of, or unable, to die. Mundus was incapable of being killed, immortal until the hellgate was shut down.
Assiel on the other hand was killed, she died and now her soul is trapped. She didn't have any hellgate keeping her immortal like Mundus did.
At the most, Assiel's spirit was able to exist on another plane of being, most likely because the demons wanted her soul to suffer by being locked away. Otherwise, I guess her soul would go where the other human souls are and be fuel for the hellgate.
She's not alive in the same sense that Dante is, and by the looks of it, she's only able to manifest in the spirit world of Limbo as a spirit.

I hear you but, the fact still remains, she could still communicate and influence without a physical body. Therefore, she's immortal.

Aren't we ALL immortal souls in the eyes of the Lord?
