I guess it depends on your definition of 'ordinary'. Those character pictures you added aren't really ordinary to me, as they're in anime style, they don't wear too cliché clothes and they've got pretty original energy weapons. The fact that Ninja Theory created a Dante who is not only unremarkable and realistic, but also wears clothing that could use a better color scheme, is baffling to me. To make him realistic is fine, but at least make his outfit nicer to look at.
To DragonMaster2010, I agree, I like Dante's DMC1 and 2 costumes too. However, I kind of like the DMC4 costume too, besides, it suits Dante. DMC3... yeah, meh is the word.
Actually though No More Heroes seem a bit animeish they are very realitsic outfits that I can pick up someone.
The first guy in red (Travis) wears a simple army flak (it even has so on the sides), an union basket cuff, torn jeans (pretty ordinary clothes), basic sneakers, and his white shirt (you gotta see it ) has anime characters on it represent his otaku side.
The other guy, Travis's twin brother Henry, wears a basic vest.....screw it....I have a church outfit that looks almost like his. NMH is a bit anime based but its more western based with western type aesthetics.
Plus NMH is futuristic to an sense, so it makes sense, no its expected to have beam katana like weapons.
Plus if you played the games, you can clearly see that Travis is 100x more of a douche-bag that this Dante can ever be....and I still love him more than new and old Dante.
To add on, this new Dante is a street rat, in a sense, he grew up on the streets alone since he was a kid while new Vergil grew up in royalty and lavish luxuries so his sense of fashion is more well its even more high class than old Vergil & old Dante. You can't expect him to be homeless on the streets and be able to have clothes like the old Dante who must've had his clothes personally tailored and designed.
Besides his sense of fashion is punk by British standards. Who knows perhaps at the end of DmC, Dante starts up his devil hunting business and buy new clothes.
Like I said before, its just you, and others, who feels like this....its whether you like it or not.
