FYI, Dante wasn't even all that good

[curly_nuts]

I remember doing everything to get Dante and when I finally got him, I was so underwhelmed. He sucked compared to some of the other characters I had in my roster. I used him towards the end, but only because i felt obligated

[TSVStriFe]

Son of Oath (Dante's skill) Got a revamp and now has innate pierce, which makes Dante just as good as Raidou and useable in last few fights.

Dante had very decent stats and abilities. His only issue was lacking pierce.

[Sejman22]

in remaster he got Pierce

Agree with you OP. He was trash. Locking him behind a paywall however is my biggest issue. Cause on top of an already steep base price for such an old game, they're charging us $ for something that was free in the original game.

He was very much not trash. I don't know how much attention you have on him but he was a character that would consistently get crits andhe only go better as he leveled up. Like what someone above said, his only major problem was his lack of pierce which he is getting in this remaster which makes him a criting piercing machine.

Probably didn't even play the game previously but is just parroting what he heard on the internet. He has been spamming this same lie about Dante in multiple threads now.

I am willing to bet money that Dante was cut out because Capcom demanded money to include him. The agreement to add the character in the original ps2 version would have long since expired.

You get Raidou for free and he includes all the same content as Dante, just with slightly altered cutscenes and abilities, so I really don't see it as that big a problem.

dude, Dante was good agaisnt bosses has an attack that has a high chance of critic dmg, spaming that will boost your press turns like mad, i used him for the last fight against lucifer, even if he didn't had pierce you just need your other roster to have it and it's easy game.

And now that his skills are buffed is going to be super easy.

Dante isn't good once you get access to debilitate and the persona with highest tier of skills. I merely used him for the moment he joined, then decide to bench him. Instead of finding boss that is suitable for him to be used, just rely on debuff/buffs to increase damage output.

The Pixie friend you get early on will be more powerful. Unless you wanna get demon ending.

[Mauman]

He's fine.

He's not stupidly amazing, but he does the job. Only problem he really had was the lack of pierce for the true boss.

Now that he has pierce he's fine for even the true final boss.

I'll likely use him (and Raidou) just so I don't have to fuse another end game demon.

Would you rather have him behind the paywall or see integrated into SMT3 and see the game taken off shelves after their contract with Capcom expires?

Which is something that could have happened. For example Alan Wake got removed from Steam Store for a year because music licenses expired. For SMT3 the worst that can happen is that Dante becomes unavailable at a later Date rather than the entire game.
