Time and again, female characters in the series have only existed as motivation for Dante, or as someone for him to save.Įven looking back at the very first Devil May Cry, Trish is literally a plot device tied to Dante’s memories of his mother. It’s sad to say that Devil May Cry has never had the best female representation, despite having great female characters. With strong writing to back it up, this dynamic could be fleshed out even more, and it’d be interesting to see them develop a relationship separate from the fact that they simply know Dante. Long story short, Morrison tells the two he has a job for them, and boom, there’s the setup for your next Devil May Cry game: a “buddy” game starring Trish and Lady.īy buddy game I mean something along the lines of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, one that has the two traveling together kicking demon ass, and letting you play as both characters.ĭevil May Cry 5 showed that the two have a fun dynamic, constantly harassing each other, even while they fight and cooperate. This is something that the next Devil May Cry can fix, and there’s already the perfect setup.Īfter the events and credit roll of Devil May Cry 5, we’re treated to a scene of Trish and Lady returning to the Devil May Cry agency, where they’re paid a visit by Morrison. It’s a wasted opportunity because they are formidable characters in their own right and it’s a huge letdown to not see them in action. To make matters even worse, a large percentage of their screen time is spent without clothes on, something that feels completely pointless, and exists just for fanservice. That’s exactly what makes their role so disappointing in Devil May Cry 5, as they’re treated as nothing more than plot devices who simply sit on the sidelines after being saved by Dante and Nero.

Dante’s always been the star, but the two leading ladies have always been forces to be reckoned with on their own. Trish and Lady have been in the Devil May Cry series for years, with Trish being introduced in the very first game while Lady made her debut in Devil May Cry 3. Yet for everything Devil May Cry 5 does right, there are a few areas it still manages to fall short, namely, in how it uses its female characters. The action is slick and intuitive, the aesthetic and graphical style are amazing, and the characters are just as fun as ever. *Spoiler Warning* We’ll be spoiling a minor scene after the credits of Devil May Cry 5 for this topic, although we won’t actually be discussing the story of DMC 5.ĭevil May Cry 5 is a grand return to form for the action franchise, I gave it Twinfinite’s highest score possible, and it’s just about everything fans could have wanted.
