Dante or Raidou?

[Zeikar]

Which do you choose?
From what I've read once you start a new game with either option, there is no switching. Unless some kind of hack/mod/cheat engine type of thing can be used.

Raidou naturally belongs to the SMT Metaverse. Dante is cool but in the end he's just a marketing stunt.

So Raidou it is.

Is Raidou the main char? I followed this for a while trying to decite if I should buy this too or not. I played stuff like a 3DS part, Devil Suvivor 2 the extra edition and some Persona parts.

Other games for the 3DS I hope will get a remake too.

As far as I remember Dante was playable alongside Raidou if I'm not wrong and why is he sold extra? I'm going trough the dlc right now.

No the main character is known as the Demi-Fiend and not sure if he has a canon name or not. Dante or Raidou would be the character you recruit near the end of the game, depending which one you chose to meet upon starting a new game.

He got a name in the radio play of this game: Naoki Kashima so most people use this name as his canon name.

I really liked Dante in the PS2 version cuz of me being a DMC Babby, but him not having Pierce made him not as helpful as some of the endgame demons you can create. Now that they gave him Pierce, he will have a larger role to play for sure.

Raidou has the better attack animations though, imo.

he has pierce now since raidou mechanically is the same as dante but his version came after the maniax version and they gave him pierce but here its been updated to where he has pierce

You can switch on new game plus right? Do Raidou, beat them game, start over and choose Dante?

Even if you can't I'm going to go with Raidou since I've never experienced it before. Hopefully his story arc is as involved as Dante's.

dosin't work that way, the game is just a remastered JRPG from 2003.

-Maniax mode [DLC now]=2003 released game with dante from Devil May Cry 2 as a boss/ally/cameo.

-Chronicle mode [free]=2008 released game, Raidou, along with his black cat, replaces Dante as the Demi-fiend's potential ally.

you can only pick one mode/version, or make a seprate saves for each.

you can't port nor switch over your stuff/start a NG+ to the other version,
so chose wisely.

This is untrue. After finishing the game and loading NG+ you get the choice again.
