Re: Should other former characters return... (Discussion about Vergil, Trish, Nero et
If they keep the fact that Dante and Vergil are twin brothers, then Vergil would look much like Dante in main appearance - however, where Dante looks like this roughed up street kid, Vergil should look like a classy guy with stylish clothing that befits this world. I could totally see him having a dress-shirt on with a tie and a vest, and then have a long-coat with some stylish design on, a bit like his DMC3 one.
As for a weapon, it is totally plausible for Vergil to keep his Yamato as a katana. Though they are "westernizing" the reboot doesn't mean that there won't be some eastern key elements. People in Europe and America knows what a katana is and what it looks like, even if they know it as a samurai-sword rather than katana. However, should he have a change of weapon, a thin-bladed saber or a rapier could definately work as well. I would prefer if he kept the katana though, if he will even appear in the game, that is.
As for Lady, I could totally see her as some military-mercenary type of girl who is an expert in guns and explosives. She could either be hired to hunt down Dante or maybe even be someone who is on his side.
As for Trish - I have always liked the blond-haired assassin type of character in tight leather (think Nina Williams from Tekken), and I could easily see Trish as such a character as well. We have seen her shapeshift in DMC4, infiltrating the enemy's headquarters as a spy and I would like to see more of that.
Trish could also go the other way, taking her demonic heritage and let that become a big part of her character. She could be some kind of succubus, a seductress who tries to lead young, teenage-horny Dante on the path of evil. Again her shapeshift ability could be of use here, having her look like a normal but very hot and beautiful woman like the Trish we know, but her true form being that of a demon - and should she be a playable character, we as players would be able to change in between those two shapes, like Dante's Devil Trigger.
I've always thought that Trish's DT was a bit boring as it was just some golden aura and not a demonic form.
And then Lucia... In DMC2 she was a ninja-assassin inspired character with her throwing knives and dual-wielding blades, and her Devil Trigger form looked like an angel-bird-harpy thing. It would be cool if they picked up more from the Divine Comedy and made Lucia this angelic person who acted like Dante's protector, maybe as a good friend of his who aids him - also an opportunity to make her a playable character as well.
... Nero... I am a bit lost on Nero. He could be Dante's and Vergil's younger brother, he could be a clone-experiment from Dante's and Vergil's DNA, he could be... well, he could be alot of things, but in all honesty, I'm not sure I even want him to appear in the reboot. Not unless they have some fantastic role for him in the game that is something else than being a Dante-clone with no past like he was in DMC4.
But yeah, that's some of my ideas.
