They only made Dante half angel

A lot of it is to create a seperation of this incarnation of Devil May Cry from the classic series where the twins are Cambions. I honestly don't like the whole "angel/demon" change because it gives little to nothing in dante's heratige to relate to for the player, but apparently NT for some reason thought it would make Dante "more awesome and coole as a character". I think it just makes him and Vergile more Suish to have them be Angel/Demon hybrids, but, meh, whatever.
 
They made him half angel to make Eva an angel. From all we have seen Eva seems to have a strong role in the game and it is mostly about how she betrayed her kind just like sparda, to be with each other. Angel weapons were just given to add to the gameplay. They are just fast weapons with a tint of white, if they wanted to incorporate this weapons into the game, they need not have said that these were angel weapons. they could easily have been normal weapons. So it's high unlikely that Dante is half angel just so we can use angel weapons.:/
 
I don't think it's looks "cool or awesome." To me it's makes Dante not belonging in either worlds sorta tragic and special. Angels and Demons have been in wars for thousands in years. Dante being a hybrid in both sides would have more consequences and destruction compared to Demon/Angel x human. Two special worlds fighting a war (maybe still), and both trying to hunt down Dante and the seeing humans place Dante as a terrorist. They don't care about him.
 
Being angle/demon gives me: "little to nothing to relate to his character"
You know, I can't relate with a dude that's demon/human, because he's part demon. /SARCASM

You can relate with monsters, vampires, zombies, gods. You can relate to them as long as they have human emotions, human interactions, human crutches, faults, virtues, dilemmas. Being something out of flesh and blood is only half of what he is.

Emotions is what makes him human. Being a hero is what makes him a great person. It's what makes us root for him and he is reluctant of this, just like in DMC3 but now his faults are deeply rooted in both his supernatural upbringing and finding out what actually makes him human.

"That's a human affliction. You are not human, Dante." - Vergil

Dante actually believes he is human in the beginning of this game. Different, but human. Now he is expected of something more and he has a chance to have something of a family again.

He grows to care. To finally belong somewhere.

If that's not a human need and crux, then I don't know what is. So don't give me that "he's not even human therefore not relatable card". It's all bull and you know it.

Funny you say that, because the only one we've seen freak out and butthurt about the inter-species "betrayal" has been Mundus...because only a hybrid can kill him. If anything, Heaven would see Eva and Sparda as having done them a favor. XD

Being angel/demon also removes so many vulnerabilities and any real danger of anything other than the over the top infernal threats really doing much storywise. He's practically totally invulnerable when you consider the idea that he has no mortal heratige or even mortal factors in him. THAT removes any real relatable concern for his character. At least as a cambion, he HAD a mortal factor to create some dramatic possibility something could hurt him.

Unless they say that Angels are in fact just unaging mortal life forms and not divine beings that never die

If nephilims can kill head demons they also kill prime angels.
 
Maybe the angel reference ( except from the angelic weapons ) could possibly take part in Vergil's Angelic powers or Angel Trigger and also in Dante's personality. Dante although having a demon inside him, he is good and kind...and in that part also helped Kat...Maybe Vergil is exactly the opposite... although there is an angel inside him, he is evil and selfish...!!! :) ...

the fact that he is not even a human but still has feelings for them adds to his character even more

DUDE. DEMONS AND ANGELS ACTUALLY DIE IN THIS GAME. WHY WOULD ANGEL/DEMON BE ANY DIFFERENT?
ALSO
UM. DMC Dante gets freaking IMPALED all the time and is never in real danger, he just shrugs it all off.
NAME ME ONE TIME HIS LIFE IS IN ACTUAL PERIL DUDE.

I dont think they are following the good vs bad when it comes to angels vs demons. Tameem said that the angels of DmC are not quite the ones we are used to. I think of them as two races just like humans who have both good and bad members

We'll have to wait and see if that is indeed the case. So far, we've only heard that "according to legend, only a nephilim can kill THE Devil King Mundus". It may be his unique vulnerability. We don't know yet. Interesting though how Only the demons seems to flip out over Sparda marrying an Angel, though it's possible we may find out the Angelic response soon enough once teh game hits.

How can you say that only demons are angry at sparda for betrayal, you havent seen a single angel yet.

Novel in the fight with Gilver, when he and Vergil beat the snot out of each other in the Chamber of Ascention in Temen-ni-gru and possibly could have killed each other if Lady and Arkham had not intervened...Oh, when Mundus was about to blast him near the end of DMC1 before TRISH took the fatal hit...I can think of a number of places in DMCs narrative.
 
There are times i believe that the old DMC had this kind of angel / demon reference in Vergil 's lineage.... If i remember correctly Dante always had this demonic aura inside him but Vergil when being corrupted by Mundus he transformed into Nelo Angelo....So why did Vergil transformed into a some kind of angel thing... ???? maybe in this dmc they will explain better by having Vergil have Angel Trigger...!!! :) .. Maybe thats the angel reference !!!
