DMC spoiler argument about relationships split from Chit Chat

[Ⓐaron]

DMC doesn't show anything, that's in regards to statements and intimacy man.

The comparisons don't work. In FF7 they show their feelings for each other, in DMC they don't. They don't talk about having feelings for each other, so the next step would be for them to show some kind of romantic affection through physical contact, which they don't.

So don't try and shift things on me jew.

There was no indication in your original post:

People always gotta shove some bullshit pairing into everything. If Dante was meant to be romantically involved with Trish they would have shown it outright, but there's never a kiss, or anything really.

No real sort of intimacy past looking at each other, feh.

that you were referring to anything other than physical intimacy, given that the only specifics you mentioned were "a kiss" and "looking at each other", making Omega's comparison, at the time, valid.

 

[Dante]

Yup, besides his reaction to Trish's "death" is key to how much he loves her (Danco, you can argue whether it is platonic or romantic, but it is definitely love).

so the next step would be for them to show some kind of romantic affection through physical contact, which they don't.

Amagad.

Spoiler

The hugging. The holding her in his arms. They're both crying over one another. There's sappy music when he says the cheesiest line in the whole kiradamn game, and the slow motion tear drop falls onto her face.

What more do you want?

I ain't talking about the compilation, with them living together.

And I don't care about "I joined SOLDIER to impress you", either.

One scene with an outright, blatant "Hey, we're together" pairing. It's not in the game. By the logic you've put forth, Cloud isn't meant to be with either of them romantically.

But since we know that's crap, your logic must be faulty. Ergo, just because there is no outright DanteTrish romance scene, does not mean they're not together.

Ed: Thanks, Aaron. stupid fingers retyping things were too slow.

You're bullshitting me.

THe entirety of FF7 has scenes where the characters divulge their feelings for each other through actions and words. And discounting the compilation is picking and choosing, just like you said. And no, my logic was that there's NO indication at all of romantic relationship between Dante and trish in the games, unlike in FF7 where characters tell each other how they feel through actions and words.

You're ignoring all of that to try and poke a whole in my logic. Dante and trish don't so much as say or do anything indicative of a relationship.

 

[Joker]

You do realize I'm not seriously stating that, right?

I'm arguing that Dacon's previous point is invalid.


Dacon: So Trish taking the lazor for Dante, Dante giving her Sparda and the Amulet, the tear, "should have been the one to fill your dark soul with light", etc, isn't indicative enough? C'mon.

 

[Max Payne]

Because friends don't hug? Don't cry when they see each other alive and well after a traumatic experience? Horsepies.

 

[A]

Okay, but seriously people, shouldn't this be in a DMC thread, because I've seen some spoilers here.

 

[Max Payne]

Dacon: So Trish taking the lazor for Dante, Dante giving her Sparda and the Amulet, the tear, "should have been the one to fill your dark soul with light", etc, isn't indicative enough? C'mon.

They were friends, she died saving him, or so he thought, and she was a prisoner of Mundus.

Of course he felt he should save her, HOW THE HELL DOES THAT EQUAL LOVE AND SEX? It doesn't.

 

[Dante]

The majority has spoken, Dacon. Dante/Trish are the canon pairing. Whether you think of them as platonic or romantic is up to you.

Yes, yes I am. I absolutely agree that Cloud and Tifa are all kittens and moonbeams. But you knew that

I don't care about the "entirety" of FFVII. I'm talking about the game - ONE game. Compilation of FFVII =/= FFVII. There's plenty of evidence in DMC to indicate a romantic relationship between Dante and Trish, whereas there is NONE to support a possible Dante x Lady pairing. See the difference?

And I'm trying to poke a *hole in your logic, sir

 

[A]

Let's not get all statement-y now.

DID NO ONE SEE MY POST?

 

[Max Payne]

The games and media have proven they have no relationship past working together. They don't even so much as flirt, Trish even stops working with Dante and leaves him for some time.

I am talking about the one game stoopid. And the compilation of FFVII includes FF7, you can't exclude it. You're picking and choosing again.

There's nothing in DMC to indicate a romantic relationship between Dante and anyone in DMC. Just a strong friendship.

 

[Dante]

Have you played DMC Dacon, cause it doesn't sound like it sorry.

 

[Joker]

BULLCRAP. She'd JUST finished betraying him during the Nightmare III fight, and was "chained" up there to fuck with Dante's head. She then jumped down and took the deathbeamz to save Dante, when, not too long before, she'd been trying to KILL him.

I'm not arguing that they're canonical. Rather that there's something there.

 

[Max Payne]

Have you played DMC Dacon, cause it doesn't sound like it sorry.

Ok you're just talking stupid now.

I've played all of the games, watched the anime, and read the manga.

Dante has no relationship with anyone in any of them.

 

[Celes Chere]

Because friends don't hug? Don't cry when they see each other alive and well after a traumatic experience?

Spoiler

Friends don't have cheesy romance music playing in the background. Friends don't say 'the light quote'. Friends don't say what Dante said about his parents resting beside Trish. Especially if she's a Mother figure to him. Friends don't flirt with one another. And so on.

Trish certainly does flirt with Dante, lol. You've played DMC4 I hope.

 

[A]

She died?

I'm fucking serious this time, can you guys just talk about this somewhere else? Or at least, please, put spoiler tags?

 

[Dashell]

Love Triangle the third thread.

 

[Max Payne]

Friends flirt all the time. That's bullshit.

And no one said anything about her being a mother figure. They're just good friends.

The light bit was clearly about Dante failing to save Trish from evil. That doesn't indicate romance at all.

 

[Dashell]

She died?

Soilent green is people.

 

[Joker]

Trish even stops working with Dante and leaves him for some time.

1. "For some time" implies she comes back.
2. Have you seen Chasing Amy?

Edit: YOU said something about her being a mother figure, dood.


Alise - I'm only playing ball until he sees the error of his choice of argumentative angle, rly

And so far, no Mako screaming at us, so smooth sailing

 

[A]

LOL that made me laugh so hard I almost spat out my water.

EDIT:

@ Omega: Well, I am. Seriously, you guys have to post somewhere else.

 

[Dante]

Let's move this thread.

 

[Vendel]

Wait....so what is this Dante and DMC?
