Wow... I've never seen Sparda like that before! I guess the Sparda skin in DMC1 is a younger him or something, because he looks extremely menacing and powerful (as Sparda should be) in those pictures, unlike the millionaire Sparda!
Thanks for sharing those, now I can actually imagine Sparda defeating Hell on his own @_@
Well, Capcom never really confirmed the identity of that guy in the purple suit. They only tell us that he's "the Legendary Dark Knight"... which means he could be either Sparda, or, as some poeple suggest, just a future version of Dante. There's still a debate going on on the subject, but most of the fans tend to believe that he IS Sparda.
Judging from the concept arts, my guess is that Capcom didn't intend for "the man in purple" to become Sparda in the first place, but they eventually went along with the public opinion and abandonded the old design, seeing that the image has already gone too deep into our heads...
So the conclusion is: Sparda is what the fans of the the game want him to be... XD
