Summary: It may be appealing to those who are starters,but for those who already know the true Dante,it's really sad what they did.
Agree with this and everything else you wrote in that post. Pure poetry. :O
I really didn't expect such a large majority to prefer this design over the one we got in DMC4 proper... XD
I did. In fact, I knew they would ever since the initial reveal.
Off-topic: This reminds me of at story...
*audience groans*
Shut your faces.
Anyway, this topic reminds me of when I was talking to this DMC fan (won't say who, other than that they were kind of influential in the DMC community) and she said she preferred "alcoholic Dante" more than "badass Dante".
I had then asked her why.
And she said that because "badass Dante looks too much like DMC3 Dante."
DUH. :|
That's the whole point as to why they designed him like that. He's supposed to look similar but older.
But no. Capcom had to drop the ball
yet again. -_-
Now, in my opinion, he looks completely different from his DMC3 counterpart. He doesn't look anything like DMC1 Dante either. Just goes to show that other people have a point when they say that the four original Dantes don't have any consistencies other than the red jacket.
I won't mention the hair because... you know...
flame war...
