I'm in. Although I love Dante (especially in DMC4), Vergil has always been more appealing to me. His movements and voice (props to Daniel Southworth), his fighting style, Yamato, his behaviorin general. And dat hair! XD
Who else liked Vergil better than Dante?
- Thread starter Vergil_Son_of_Sparda
- Start date
Who knows, maybe he is a cliché character - I heard he is just like Sesshomaru. I wouldn't know, but I doubt you can just say they're clones in terms of personality. I think that if they were, the writers would get in legal trouble.
I don't know, to me it might actually be a tie. I liked DMC3 Dante's taunting and one-liners, but Vergil is just badass. He exudes badassery through the way he pronounces things and how he builds his sentences, and the best thing is, he doesn't need to say much to get his intentions/feelings across.
And that's the thing: his personality works very well as a contrast to Dante's. That was the whole point in DMC3, and it makes for nice writing. I certainly prefer old Vergil over new Vergil, if only because new Vergil seems almost like a copy of new Dante, and his personality doesn't interest me at all. He comes across as a hipster pretty boy. I don't even know what to do with him mentally - I seriously have no idea how to describe him. He doesn't seem very consistent as a character. Besides that, he's not really cool, and doesn't seem to try to be. That's fine if you wanted to create a realistic game, but with Devil May Cry, I expect characters that do their best to be cool... whether that's by being very powerful or witty or more. Because its story is nothing special, the game pretty much depends on its characters (and its gameplay).

I wonder, without comparing Vergil to Dante, what was likeable about Vergil?
Without the comparisons.
Without the comparisons.
His moodiness and good looks. That's pretty much a catch-all to females.
... No offense.
There are many aspects that I like about him, but with me having a passion for martial arts, it's mainly his fighting style. The things he does with that sword, damn!
Oh, and his hair. Yeah actually, his hair is the first thing xD
I liked Vergil more still do actually,in a sense he reminded me of myself(not the power hungry part though),he's cool,calm and collected which are personality traits I have...well more or less
