thread_title:  The Kalina-Ann... 

message: I've moved the subsection about them to the anime article, but I'd still like to make my point clear: these two are different from any other episodic character in the anime, e.g. the King and the demon motorcycle Boradis mentioned, because they are directly related to Sparda and contribute significantly to his back-story, since no other source apparently provides any details about his life before his defection. --Koveras ☭ 19:15, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't mean to be insulting, but I don't know how this got GA. Anyway, what's stopping this from being a list? It has no content besides the list; how is it an article? Thanks. Ashnard Talk Contribs 18:24, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Characters of Final Fantasy VIII has Cast creation and influences, Cultural impact, Merchandise, and Reception and criticism. There is nothing here besides the list—it's just a list. Ashnard Talk Contribs 15:34, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Part of the article has been blanked, to be honest I don't care if this is a Featured List or a Good Article there is no difference as long as it helps the Featured Topic. - Caribbean~H.Q. 07:32, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

text: I recommend a move to "List of", but that will inevitably result in loss of GA status (GA doesn't cover lists). I suggest removing some images too; having that many images in one "article" must violate fair-use. Thanks. Ashnard Talk Contribs 15:05, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that you've restored the section. I doubt that this itself is sufficient, but there's probably more to add. Thanks. Ashnard Talk Contribs 15:08, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  List? 

message: because it's recently been confirmed that both Lady and Trish will be returning in DMC4, it's logical to add them to the list of other recurring characters.WickedKnightAlbel 18:41, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was thinking that too. And in the mean time, I believe Mundus should be moved to the DMC1 section. His appearence in DMC3 is only a cameo, so while it should be mentioned, I don't think it counts enough to be recurrent as the rest of the characters. Maybe Eva should be moved too, since DMC1 is the only game in which she is really relevant.--Alexlayer 20:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Recurring characters addition

message: Should we keep it? His character is not that much important, and we don't know if his appearence in the novels is really the same of the manga. Besides, it takes a lot of unnecesary space. --Alexlayer 13:40, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No one replies? Well, if there's no complaining, I'll remove it eventually. --Alexlayer 03:13, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry. Yeah, I agree. Yank it, unless he shows up in something canonical soon, I think he's no more than a footnote --Boradis 09:19, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Enzo's image 

message: I've noticed that it isn't mentioned anymore. IMDb says it's Kari Wahlgren but I'm not sure. - The 4th Snake 20:24, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The game itself credits Stephanie Cheeva, however at a convention Reuben Langdon (Dante) said that Cheeva did the mocapping, while another woman did the voice acting. Given that the game also credits Adam Clark (Arkham/Jester) as "Adam D Clerk", I think it's possible that the game credits aren't accurate. However, the voice of Lady in the most current DMC4 trailer sounds like the DMC3 Lady, so perhaps we'll get this settled when more info on that game is available. --Boradis 09:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:Hmm. Problem is, I don't have a mediafire.com account so I didn't see the video, and I'm sure plenty of the readership doesn't either. Do you have a reference that's in a text form? -- Boradis (talk) 01:36, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A reference that requires membership to read isn't considered "reliable" but if a official announcement was made then finding a report of this on Gamespot of IGN must be easier, otherwise chances are it may be gossip. - Caribbean~H.Q. 05:08, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Rickengothic was kind enough to get us a YouTube link to the video (http://youtube.com/watch?v=nrXKoQu_Anc), which I just watched. It does indeed contain some spoilers (and is TOTALLY AWESOME! Ok, geek mode off), however I think it's far from certain that anything in these trailers is what it appears to be. Trailers are produced to excite and mislead, so unless we have something in writing from Capcom saying that Agnus is the main villain, or that the katana is Vergil's Yamato, we can't draw any conclusions. It's against the point of Wikipedia after all. --Boradis (talk) 10:01, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Images 

message: Is there any point in keeping Gloria’s section under DMC4? If Arkham and Jester can't have separate sections (for being technically the same person), then there isn't much reason for her to have one. WickedKnightAlbel (talk) 08:56, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gloria section 

message: I don't know what anyone elses opinions are but the current layout doesn't seem to work right.  There is a separate section for anime characters and yet the character who has only appeared in novels and a game manual is classed in the same league as a recurring character.  Vergil shouldn't really be classed as such either.  He's always been an antagonist and wasn't really Vergil except for 1.1 games.
Having sections for one character such as Arkham and Mundus also seems kinda pointless while having a leading character like Nero down near the bottom of the page also doesn't seem to work.  Also, if Vergil is classed as recurring then it would be fair to class Mundus' cameo in DMC3 as recurring too.
Therefore I recommend two options.  There is alphabetical organisation, but I'm not sure that having Dante in particular as not at the top of the list would work.  So instead of hte current sectioning I'd consider maybe a recurring/leading characters which Trish and Lady could also be classed as and which would allow Nero to also take position.  Supporting characters such as Kyrie, minor characters and antagonists/villains or something similar.  If Vergil appears in a 3rd game it might be fair to class him as a leading character but as it is he has always been a bad/morally grey guy and I definetly wouldn't put him up there with the rest of the recurring characters and...Enzo.
EDIT: And I think Eva has only appeared in one game.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 19:56, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The former format was messed when DMC 4 was released and somebody moved several characters to the "recurring characters" section, I am now trying a new format. - Caribbean~H.Q. 00:52, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks better but I still think Vergil should be classed as an antagonist.  He's been a bad guy in 2 games.  Might be more fitting to call it primary characters.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 01:53, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Was just reading and wasn't Sparda's power locked away when he sealed the gate and not when he died?

Still demonic but sacrificed that stuff and sealed it away to lock the portal.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 02:04, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Both formats can be used and are considered encyclopedic (see List of characters in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow and Characters of Kingdom Hearts) but at this moment I prefer the current one due to the problems that DMC 4's release brought, particulary the fact that we were left with two one-character sections. - Caribbean~H.Q. 19:40, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Is there a second page to the 1Up articles, or did they trim it for some unknown reason? How do you access this second page, if it exists?Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 08:40, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: 1 up is currently reformating several pages, (including this) it appears the interview was temporally relocated (note that its listed under DMC instead of DMC 4) and its only displaying 1 of 4 pages, they certainly won't claim that they have a " Massive interview with key dev. team members!" with only the game's producer, in any case if they aren't yet fixed by the moment the changes on the website conclude a e-mail can be sent to inform them of the situation. - Caribbean~H.Q. 02:39, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Is it ever explicitly stated that Sparda is dead? I don't remember anything which points directly to it, apart from his absence and the fact that he wasn't there to save Eva, though that doesn't automatically mean he's dead.

thread_title: Anime

message: Why is Vergil among the "Primary characters" section instead of the "Main antagonists" one? So far, regardless of whatever the fans might speculate about his intentions, he has always appeared as an antagonist, with the only expection of DMC3's Mission 19. But just that, or the fact that he was a playable chararter in the Special Edition, doesn't really make him a Primary Character, now does it?
I suggest moving him, unless there's any objection. --Alexlayer (talk) 22:37, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Anime characters 

message: The sentence regarding Mundus brainwashing him strikes me as a fan theory and not official information. Plot wise, Vergil's presence in the first game was completely glossed over, with no explanation as to how or why he was working for Mundus. Further complicating things are retcons in the third game. The first game seems to indicate that Vergil was killed along with Dante's mother, which is not the case in DMC3. For another thing, Vergil runs away from Dante when he sees his amulet, but we see in DMC3 that he has no love lost for his brother, so it doesn't really make sense. I know the details are unclear, but I think his profile should be modified to remove speculation.--24.255.171.220 (talk) 16:07, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Vergil

message: Currently, the first paragraph of Dante's conception and creation section is just a general description of the series, and the majority of his reception information is also about the series. Much of the reception in this article is about the character, and the merchandise information is also already covered here. Unless some more actual information specifically about the character is available, the article really should just be merged into this one to avoid redundancy. TTN (talk) 18:54, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm fine with it if it's expanded, but this has nothing to do with "doing anything." Dante's article is very subpar in the area of real world information, and half of the information it does have is already in this article, so if the information cannot be expanded upon, it doesn't deserve an article.

thread_title: Merging Dante

message: "It was recently confirmed that Nero is in fact Vergils son."?  Why is there no source cited for this?  I'd think it would be a pretty big deal, considdering the importance of bloodlines in the DMC plot.  Last I heard, all we had was an in-game quote possibly connecting Nero to Sparda, not Virgil.  So could we get a citation?  Yeah i dont know about this one. i have heard at least three solid citations that nero is related to sparda, butnot ecxactly to vergil. but how else would all this piece together.--AkuTenshiiZero (talk) 02:47, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Nero/Virgil relation source?

message: Can we add Kat and Phineas as characters? Also can we add other Devil May Cry antagonists like Phantom, Griffon, and Nightmare I mean they do appear in two games,also the bosses in the dmc series?--Spidervenom123 (talk) 21:56, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  DmC Characters 

message: Hi. This article is confusing because of its speaks a language that only makes sense to one who has played the video games. For example, "Griifon appears alongside phantom being used as parts of Argosax's shell" makes no sense at all. What Argosax? What is shell? How can a giant bird appear as shell?
There are other instances. What is a demonic hand? In other words, how can I recognize one when I see one? What is dreamrunner? What is Limbo? Is it a city, a state of mind or character of the video game? Why it is sometimes in lowercase?
"Vergil's sword responds to Nero's call and grants him his Devil Trigger form in the same fashion that Dante's sword, Rebellion, does for Dante." I neither know how does Vergil's sword responds nor know how does Rebellion respond. Do they respond the same way a dog respond to his master's call? Do they come barking?

message: The game begins with setting off to stop Vergil's plans and ends on thwarting Vergil's plans. Vergil is the main opposition to Dante's goal. How is he a secondary antagonist? That would be, Arkham. Arkham manipulated everyone, sure, but it still ends with Vergil being the ultimate antagonist and him being the root cause for Devil May Cry 3's events. Basically all Arkham did was manipulate the situation that Vergil willingly caused anyway. Roxas255 11:43, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
