speculation on vergil in DMC4 SE?
- Thread starter absolitude
- Start date
So if DMC4 SE has a new story mode for Vergil it isn't going to be in Fortuna, at least not after DMC1, it would be when he was younger (before DMC3) because if it's going to be after DMC 1 Yamato would be broken and he would go to Fortuna to retrieve Yamato and that didn't happen (because his story would be between dmc1 and dmc4 events and Nero ends with yamato at the end of DMC4)
What i'm trying to say is, that this Vergil is not in his 30s like some people say, this is Vergil PRE-dmc 3 era (18 or 19 years old) because Vergil in the pic has yamato.
This pic shows an apparently older Vergil that wields Yamato. This can mean two things, imo:
1. Vergil's just a playable character, with no story whatsoever, so it's justified that they make him older and wield Yamato, cause he's just a gameplay element, and a means for fanservice
2. Vergil's actually got a campaign, and it's set after DMC4, with him having regained control of his mind and back on his way of pursuit of power. He goes after Nero to retrieve Yamato, so that's why he's shown wielding it in the pic
A third option is that Vergil is not older how it looks like in the pic (in fact, we can't see his full face, so it's perfectly possible that he's not older) and if he has a campaign, it's set between DMC3 and 1, showing his journey in the Netherworld to fight Mundus, or it's set even before DMC4, like in the novel.
These are my hypothesis.

1- That's why I write "if DMC4 SE has a new story mode for Vergil" XD
2- I dont think Capcom will use that in a Special Edition, Capcom would keep that for DMC5 (at least for me, but it would be great if they do that in the Special Edition, and if the Special Edition ends exactly when Vergil finds Nero and will start to fight :nailbiting::nailbiting: )
3- "showing his journey in the Netherworld to fight Mundus" it would be great too
for #3 I rather have it set before DMC3 with Vergil visiting Fortuna as it is more relevant to the events of DMC4 and it could potentially addresses Nero's origins.
I just think showing his journey to fight mundus isnt something that needs to be explored in depth and rather have vergil recount those events.
I think Vergil loafing around Fortuna sounds a lot less exciting than a journey through Hell to fight Mundus. Also, it lends itself to some gameplay (although I wouldn't bet on it, since Fortuna has existing assets for DMC 4 and Hell doesn't). I'd say that the events in Fortuna before DMC 3, if confirmed as canon, would be something to recount in passing more than a trip through the underworld. I dunno', that's just me.
Good point, plus Capcom with money issues= Vergil in Fortuna XD
Umm..We already know how fight with Mundus ended, I think establishing his connection to Nero is tad more important
Things need to be explained . Just hope its not with another prequel
What about Vergil's DT? You ever thought how it would look like in DMC4? Do you think it will be different from his DMC3 form? I think yes, after all Dante's DT form changes throughout the series.
I found this on Google, fan made:
Very similar to Dante's, obviously, but with different face (similar to the phantom Nero's DT has) and head. And there's the sheath for Yamato. How do you like it?

And what about his human form? Found this, pretty nicely drawn:
Some time ago I saved an image from tumblr where a person did an art experiment on how Vergil would look in DMC4 (alas, I no longer know the source).

D:
Well the idea was that the guy went through Hell - literally, so he wouldn't really look like fresh from the beauty salon. XD
Huh? Well, I guess one can get that impression. In reality it's DMC4 Dante's face, only thinner in cheeks, and with messy hair. Oh, and a ****ed expression, cause it's Vergil, he only smiles when he just killed someone big.
Ha! Or when there's an opportunity to mock his brother...
"- And now... my soul is saying it wants to stop you!
- Hahahahahaha! Unfortunately our souls are at odds, brother."
