Macabre
Your Friend and Mine
No more smoke and mirrors, Mac. You need to stop reaching for low-hanging fruit.
I don't need a translation for an english-spoken slide show when I was on a forum discussing the shots as the story broke during GDC.
The purpose of the slide show was to show their "evolution" of the character, showing what Dante IS NOT and what he IS, in their estimation. It was a wonderful demonstration of how NT misunderstands the whole IP.

That's where the disingenuousness comes from; at the beginning of the slide show they demonstrated images of the Dante they initially posited to Capcom before 2010, but then made a song and dance about how "normal" and "not audaciously anime" the Dante they settled on was, and then decided to change their Dante into the old version by the end of the game, caving in to fan pressure and invalidating their every claim up to that point.
The fruit isn't low hanging. They lie on the ground all around us, because the tree is dead.
