DMC 4 - anyone think Capcom borrowed from Full Metal Alchemist?

Seems as though it could be perceived as a little obvious.

Discuss.

but Fullmetal Alchemist has a better plot;)

No, not at all.

Assume you're referring to them both having non human arms.

Nero, is part demon, Ed uses prosthetics because he's missing an arm and a leg. Other than that, they have nothing in common. Wait.... They have nothing in common at all.

Because FMA was the first series to feature a protagonist with a non-human arm right?

Good thing you came along to finally shine light on something thats been on people's minds for years.

They're both products of rote anime aesthetics. It's not like DMC 4 necessarily borrowed a look specifically from FMA in the same way Gears of War's dudes didn't borrow from, like, Cable (of the X-Men). They're just stylistically indebted to a certain cultural look.

Not sure I never saw the series, but Nero was a pretty cool character. I wouldn't mind another game staring him instead of the awful NT DMC.

No. But Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code borrowed a lot from Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars.

Never heard of full metal whatever so no.

No, right arms are just more dominant.
