Man, little Dante is so cute lol
I hope the torture part is not underdeveloped in the final game, the first trailer (the announcement one, that got the huge hate) did a great job at showing someone who suffered by the hands of demon his entire life, but after the second redesign, not only he's a lot healthier, but the overall tone of the game seems very irreverent, but that may be just irreverent moments because they want to sell that "It's still DMC" image and the story will still be very serious, because scenes like that with Dante and Eva already makes you feel sorry for him even though we didn't see what he went through. When you combine that with the "I don't know my mother but if you're calling me a son of a bitch you wouldn't be the first", you notice how Dante is fragile on the inside and tormented by the past he does not know (and seeks for answers in the Home Truth video) while keeping that irreverent and strong image on the outside, he doesn't let anyone else know of his troubles and keep them to himself because he needs to be strong to fight what he's fighting. I love me some NT storytelling.
