Nice speech Redgrave. As for my opinion on this, I believe Vergil is still alive. (Hopefully in his humanoid half-demon form) Why? Well, one for the same reason Redgrave believes, and also, I don't always go with what capcom has to say. Ok sure they made the original storyline, but are they even sure themselves? I honestly think they just tell the fans certain things to just get us out of their face.
What am I talking about? Well for example: Capcom saids that the twins are 18-19 in dmc3. Ok that makes sense, they sure do act like teens. And then they say that the events of dmc1 took place about...was it 10 years after dmc3? I know they said atleast 10 years. Now this is one of the things I have a hard time believing. So are they telling us that Vergil was currupted for 10 whole years??? What kind of sense does that make?
Not to mention the dmc novel that was supervised by capcom has Vergil and Dante fighting each other a little before the events of dmc1...How in the hell would Vergil be able to interact with the human world when 1. He was soppose to be living in hell, and 2. He was soppose to be currupted.
It's really hard to decide anything when Capcom has got the storyline all twisted up in tangles and contradictions. (Yes I said contradictions.) I mean, how hard is it really to keep the story in order and in line?
Anyways I think Vergil is still alive. I'll probably have more later. ^^ I don't wanna make the post too long or people won't read it.
