Prepare another fistbump(what ever that is) because I'm also one of those who prefer DMC2 outfit for Dante. All he needs is DMC1 personality with some quotes as cool asTotally agreed. *fistbump*.
and he would be perfect.King? Here's you're crown.
Since DMC1 intro stated that he quietly ruled the human world, I would guess he needed royal clothes for his human form to fit as a ruler. Also, it's still better than DMC3 Dante outfit with the strap on his chest or DMC4 Dante's cowboy pants.As for Sparda's outfit, I've never really liked it. The whole 17th century royal garments just doesn't fit him, considering Dante's and Vergil's styles. I had hoped for something cooler... And the monocle is just ridiculous.
But yeah, it's a matter of personal taste.
