Would HAVE, not would of.


* So when the Order HQ gets invaded why doesn't the main server room have a human world escape but has one in limbo? Vergil said himself that he prefers not to be in limbo incase it Mundus finds out he is nephilim too, being the only race that can easily do the planewalker thing, it would of been more prudent for him to have some form of escape hatch as well in the human world rather than only limbo.

* More of a meta-question; is that the real Eva that Vergil encounters at the end of VD Level 4: Heartless, or is it just Hell's EmpathicEnvironment at work like it did with Kat and Dante? The internet as a whole, TV Tropes and Wiki/TheOtherWiki included, can't seem to decide which it is one way or the other.

*** They did, but once he'd escaped they lost track of him since he killed any demon that managed to find him.

** It's not sudden. Vergil isn't respectful of Kat as a ''person'' - he simply knows not to alienate someone with a useful gift, right up until it's not useful. He first found her in Limbo and helped her recover by getting her to research spells. had she been ordinary, would he have done anything to help her if he became aware of her? Her demeanour in his presence is submissive, quiet, and task-oriented, and she's bashful and a bit surprised when Dante tries to talk to her like, you know, a person. Vergil's known Kat for years, she's nothing but loyal, she adores him and trusts him completely, but once Dante's on the scene he doesn't need her any more and that's the end of whatever counted as camaraderie. Notice all the insults he takes from Dante and the lengths he'll go to in order to keep ''him'' safe, but how totally willing he is to leave Kat to die? He capitulates to keep Dante on his side, not to save Kat. Similarly, he doesn't lift a finger to help anyone in the Order while they're being massacred by enemy forces. He might view himself as benevolent, but that actually doesn't matter when he's going to appoint himself an eternal dictator. As for the end, it's Vergil who refuses to compromise, Vergil who says that if Dante won't rule with him he'll rule alone, and Dante who says "it's not too late" and that they don't need to fight. While humanity is probably in for some rough times, that the demons hid themselves in the first place indicates things are going to be ''much'' rougher for ''them'', especially considering they all just lost Bob, the Succubus and the power of the Hell Gate.

** For whatever reason one of the conditions for Ninja Theory working on the game was that they couldn't have Sparda as a prominent character or even show his face, so they decided to give Eva more weight instead. As for the hair, their main artist seems to like drawing women with long, wild, almost neon red hair. There probably isn't much more to it than that.



** If Vergil's ever in a position where he needs to escape the server room quickly, he has bigger problems than risking giving himself away. That's why it's an emergency exit rather than the one he typically uses.

** Pretty sure it's supposed to be ambiguous, but I'd lean on the side of them being aspects of Vergil's subconscious given the whole VisionQuest flavour of the DLC.

** Here's my take: it's not the a TakeThatAudience moment, it's a TakeThatUs moment. It's not the game making fun of old Dante, it's the game making fun of DmC!Dante as he starts the game by way of irony. He starts off as a selfish cynical hedonist that doesn't believe in anything and gradually improves until in the end he decides to become humanity's defender and champion with nothing to gain for himself, he finds a cause he believes in. And his hair color is meant to be a reflection of that.
