Will we have the option to play as Dante ONLY???

[*•°*”˜˜”*°•.Ƹ Ӝ]

Dante has always been the main focus of the Devil May Cry series.

I don't want to play as Nero and all those other side characters. I hated the part where you had to play as Nero in DMC4. If Dante wasn't in DMC, I wouldn't play the game.

Is DMC5 going to force us to play secondary characters or can we choose to be Dante throughout the whole game?

And thank ♥♥♥♥ they brought his original hair back. Short black-haired Dante in the DMC reboot totally ruined the game for me because he felt like a completely different character. Change for the sake of change isn't always good thing.

The game will have 30 missions, 10 per character, but in many missions you will have the option to select between multiple characters. We don't know any more than that.

That sucks. I wish we were given the option to choose our character for all missions.
Devil May Cry = Dante

Do you also start to hate your friends when they get a new haircut that doesn't fit your preference?

Yeah, there is about 10 missions per character and in some of them you will be able to chose.
But if you watched a little bit of what was showed you would've notice that only Nero appears in the demo's cutscenes (aside from Nico), so it 's pretty clear it's a Nero-only level, and for the same reason, the Dante mission 11 shown at TGS, it's a Dante-only mission.
I think the only levels where you can choose between characters is where there is another character in the level alongside you.

Actually, it might be possible. If you've watched the latest Capcom stream, there's an option called "player select". But I'm assuming that you have to play as all 3 characters for the first time before playing as Dante all the way.

Are you serious? You hated him only because of the hair?

He didn't FEEL like a different character. He WAS a different character. And while I myself dislike DmC characters, hair was least of their problems.

I'm pretty sure that that´s actually "The Void", DMC5's training room, not an actual level. So I wouldn't judge based on that.

Still, it would be nice if we could select any character after beating the game or level on that difficulty.

Don't take my word for it, but I've also heard that you can change them in divinity statues.

If that's true, I wonder how it would work out for Nero, because those are replaced with telephone booths.

Well the Dinity Statues sell a near infinite supply of holy water and healing juices.

Maybe they also also offer phone services.

Nico's Van was shown to have a tiny divinity statue sitting on a workbench.

Dante
Nero
Lady
All I need. Probably end playing Dante more as usual.

That isn’t even Dante though, his facial structure doesn’t even resemble the real deal, even accounting for aging there’s no way he would have mutated in such a way…

Probably same as DMC4 players are gonna be forced to waste their time with Nero and now this V character (that imo actually looks even worse than Nero), basically last worthy game was DMC3, after that it’s probably not worth wasting your time with the franchise.

How does it make DMC5 a not worthy DMC game?
Because aside from the facial changes (which isn't an argument), the rest is just your feelings without a single argument.

Could you point out which Dante is the "real deal"? His face looks different in every game he is in.

Is the looks of the characters the only reason that you want to ditch the franchise? Or you mean their gameplay?

He has looked slightly different, mostly different hairstyles and differences in poly count depending on how old the game is, but his facial structure remained pretty consistent, even on higher poly pre-rendered promotional material, throughout the 1st 4 games, this Dante being shown here though, for DMC5, that is not Dante… and yes looks are as important to me as the gameplay, I am ditching the franchise because of it, although in earnest I ditched the franchise since back with DMC4 since Dante wasn’t playable for half the game.

For me DMC is Dante, this game even goes as far as placing Nero at the center of all covers I’ve seen, for old fans like me that’s downright insulting.

I’m not saying that having additional characters to rerun stages wouldn’t be fun, that is a good idea, but imo all the campaign should be doable with Dante, and even if they are investing time on adding more characters to play with, the franchise already had Lady, Trish, Vergil, etc there was no need to bring Nero into the equation imo.

Just did a quick face comparison of every Dante and I couldn't disagree more. I think the only reason that people claim DMC5 Dante "looks so different" is because of the hyper realistic RE engine and the use of real people for the models. Since we are working with opinions here we just have to agree do disagree.

Someone can even argue that this is the best time for those who are unhappy with how DMC4 turned out to return to the franchise since this time Dante and Vergil have major part in the story and it's direct continuation.

I don't really get people who don't want to play as anyone but Dante. I was initially put off by Nero stealing the spotlight in 4 too, but his gameplay is solid. I actually prefer playing him to Dante in 4 now. More characters is just more moves and options, and Dante is still there if you want him.
