A question.....why does Dante look human in this?

[SryCauldon]

I mean, in prior iterations Dante was half Demon and half Human, with the human half being dominant, thus why he looks like he does......thing is, if he has no human in him, why does he look human?

Demons that look human are either intentionally created that way "Trish" or make themselves appear that way, it is not their natural form in most cases.

So since he is now half demon and half angel......why doesn't he have wings or other such characteristics? Why does he look human? And shouldn't his perspective on things be different considering as a being that is in entirety not human, his thought patters would naturally differ significantly from our own?

If they explain this in the context of the world I shall be happy, but if they never touch on the subject, it will seem like a plot hole.

You're looking way too deep into things that we don't know yet. Then again, who are you to say that his thought patterns would be different? Did you create DmC's world and its laws? A person's mentality is usually a product of their upbringing anyway. And Sparda and Eva had exceedingly human-looking forms, so...

Wait for the game to release before you just start trying to throw out claims of plot holes.

Just something that has been troubling me, as mentioned if they touch on the subject so it fits with the worlds internal logic I shall be happy.

Dude that question troubles me too.
I can only guess it's because Sparda and Eva chose human forms when Dante was concieved.

Or maybe in this universe, Humans are a very weak species of demon. Which would explain the "Nephilim" mishap (given that Nephilim in ancient Hebrew myths is just Angel+Human).

I have faith they'll explain it though.

Well, in DMC Sparda and Eva looked human when they conceived the children.

In this story both were very human looking so their children look human, I'm guessing that's only skin deep.

That in a way does not make sense, since they loved each other, wouldn't they have been in their true forms while they made love?

 

[DarkSlayer54]

Well, I'd imagine Eva's angel form would have been pretty much the same as her human form... if she even had one.

So, maybe dante and vergil got their looks from their mother and their powers from sparda.

It's a weak theory... but it's the best I can come up with.

EDIT:
Or, Eva gave birth to Vergil and Dante, and gave them human forms to live out their lives... simple as that?

Sparda abandoned his demonic self to become human in the original canon, but if angels look like humans with wings maybe Sparda was a human with horns.

 

[KIRA]

i guess maybe because they are nephillim...the can't be in heaven neither in hell....so the only place is the earth...the human race...or maybe because the angels and demons can disguise themselves as humans.... and Sparda and Eva were in human form when their childs were born !!!

 

[darkmanifest]

I've been wondering this ever since Eva was changed into an angel, too. If it isn't ignored, I hope the internal logic isn't something like "angels look just like humans and they take after their mom hurrdurr", but I don't think Ninja Theory would be that lame.

Theory A: Perhaps Eva and Sparda manually suppressed Dante and Vergil's natural forms so that they'd be able to blend in with humans. Looking just like normal kids is the only way they were able to avoid capture for so long, until Dante started coming into his powers and making his origins obvious.

Theory B (and my favorite): As far as we've seen, demons are never in their inhuman forms in the normal world, only in Limbo, implying they're incapable of defying natural laws while out here. So it's possible that Eva and Sparda were forced into human shape while living in the human world, and therefore had to produce children in human shape, as well. But when Dante and Vergil fully mature, they'll be able to take on their inhuman forms in Limbo like any other demon or angel. I really, really want this to happen by the end of the game.

As for the way the twins think, they grew up not understanding that they weren't human at all, so they had no reason not to behave like humans. Demons seem to have all the same emotions and ambitions we do, and I imagine angels are no different. Ostensibly, they came before humans did anyway, so we might have gotten our sapience from them in the first place...depends on how the world of DmC was created.

 

[TyIquan_DmC]

IMO, this has always been a really weak nitpick.

Why did Sparda have a human form in the previous series? He wasn't human. None of the demons from the anime were human.

And we really just bought that that the human in Dante overpowered his demon genes?

They want him to look human. Simple as that. I mean, apparently the only thing demonic about Sparda here is that he has horns and a tail, and Eva has wings. Other than that, they look human. If you were so quick to believe that Eva being human overpowered Sparda being a demon before, what's so hard to believe that Dante and Vergil simply got their mother's hornless head and tail-less ass, and their father's wingless back?

In the debut trailer I think there was a that said something along the lines of there are two types of men which are good and evil and the greatest fall in between, or something like that. I think that since Eva is a good creature (angel) and Sparda is a evil creature (demon) humanity is supposed to represent the middle ground between good and evil. Because they take that middle ground, the offspring which are in between angel and demon are humans or are in human form. Those are my thoughts.

Well why does Sparda look human even though he's a full demon?

Did no one consider that maybe Sparda and Eva gave birth to the twins in human vessels and that they were born as such in human forms?

I thought about that. But even then, the game doesn't have any human or demonic forms for either Dante or Vergil. The white hair doesn't count. Does this mean that Vergil was always in permanent DT? Who knows?

And will either brother get a form that makes them faster and stronger like the old DT but without having to slow down time? I hope so. I never used the old DT, I never used Quicksilver, and chances are, I'll probably never use this DT outside of trying it out a few times either. That being said, old DT will be missed. It gave us a glimpse into Dante's other side.

 

[TWOxACROSS]

Maybe it's like this; maybe Sparda and Eva's true forms are a lot like the ones we seen in all that street art, and perhaps, just because of a funny thing called genetics, Dante and Vergil got shafted all human-looking traits.

Sparda has a tail, horns, claws and fangs, and Eva has wings. Dante and Vergil didn't get the dominant tail, horn, claw, fang, and wing genes. Triggering taps into as much of those genes as they still have, but if you weren't born with a body part, it ain't gonna just magically sprout, at least not in DmC's contemporary universe.

 

[ChaserTech]

Y'know, I was wondering if Dante would recieve and "Angel" form of some sorts. I'm sure you guys already talked about it though.

Also long time no see guys. I've been without internet for about 12 days since I don't have internet at home at all. I have to go to the library in order to get things done now. That is until I go back to college . . .

Who's to say there isn't demon or angel forms?

I usually think that new Dante's DT is his true form that he was suppose to be born into and the real demon form is his true self within that first form.

Sparda was obviousy in disguised as a human to protect his family. He knew the day would come when the Demons would hunt him down for his betrayal towards his own kind. Its not his natural form, but he wanted peace for Eva and his new born children. As for Dante and Vergil, they've taken on human looking forms due to Eva's Dominant genes. Most Religions and Mythologies depict Angels as humans with an illustrating aura, with wings. Eva must of just suppress her Angelic state in order to stay hidden. Its obvious Limbo is a Demonic Realm, where only mediums can see, thus Kat. Dante and Vergil nephillim blood is a reference to humans, both good and evil. They've both taken on their mother's physical appearance, while they've gained their fathers spiritual strength. because angels consist of composure and tranquility, it basically meditation and suppression, Dante and Vergil are naturally suppressing their forms with the amplified affects from Eva's necklaces. While Demons are aggressive and unstable.NT is trying to make this game Revolve around balance, and create a philosophical story.
