For discussion: Dante sacrificed weaponry and move diversity from DMC3 for overall style and weapon versatility in DMC4. What could he bring to the table in DMC5 that keeps him fresh? Are there techniques that may return (like Crazy Combos)?

[@bakedcrystal915]

I’m hoping they use his move set from this game with a few tweaks, maybe adding his dmc3 combos as well, what I’m really hoping for is virgel, people are saying he’s the one who ripped off Nero’s arm in the trailer so maybe he’s back¿

[@thelivingglitch307]

If you play on PC and use mods, DMC3 crushes 4 entirely because of style switcher. One should not rate licensed games on unofficial content though. I hope they add a whole new mechanic in 5, but I hope Pandora stays.

[@MrStrangerthenever]

An awesome but probably impossible and unlikely option; give Dante all the weapons. From DMC1 to whatever 5 gives him. ALL OF IT. We get to choose how Dante fights. You want classic Dante? Go ahead. DMC2 Dante for whatever reason? Sure, why not? DMC3 Dante which everyone loves? Would be dumb not to include that. DMC4? Come on... Still, I don't think it's wise to switch between all 5 styles via going to the pause menu and switch them. It's gonna be like God Hand; set up your chosen style before continuing to the next chapter.

[@KaiKrimson56]

[@gameboy788]

In the cutscenes, Dante always has ebony and ivory no matter what weapons you have currently equipped. Since Vergil has a sheathe on his arm when in dt, would Dante have an appendage to holster ebony and ivory?

[@dmchunter7772]

To be honest the most mysterious weapon in the franchise is probably rebellion since Dante just imbued his demonic powers in it rather than having its own powers which is odd why would Sparda give Dante that sword what secrets does it hold

[@supaboy339]

Damn bud you predicted the dmc5 moment where dante gets his sin devil trigger The rebellion seems to activate his demonic power even further combining him with his demon side with the sparda blade

[@vincentwilliams3741]

AWESOME

[@atlasultima4200]

I really like how they expanded his moveset that was made in DMC3, really shows the level of growth in his power and skills. I like all of his moves, but there are one or two things that kinda bug me. First, Lucifer is an awesome concept for a weapon in Dante's arsenal, his own version of Vergil's Summoned Swords. That said, I feel like it's more long range than melee, which in my opinion, feels weird when I use it. I don't hate it, but it's not my style. Second, Pandora is a weapon that has "over 666 forms of destruction" as it says in the description, yet there are only 6 forms used in the game. If these people had more time to expand on that, what kind of weapons can it form into? And would it make other weapons feel redundant if that were the case? Third, and probably my biggest one, is that Yamato is stuck as a style exclusive weapon. I know that if it was counted as a official devil arm, it would make the amount total uneven, but they could have fitted one more long range weapon in somewhere, making it four to four. I think it's just because we only seen Dante wield Yamato once in the series before this, making me want to see how he would wield it. Also, I know that in the Deadly Fortune, it said that Dante is mimicking Vergil's moves, but I wanna see how Dante would use it, or even use it alongside Rebellion while in Darkslayer, giving him more moves to work with. These are just nitpicks of mine, nothing wrong with the moveset they gave him, just was expecting more when I first played it.

[@Draethiox]

7 forms, actually. PF013: Epidemic, PF124: Hatred, PF398: Revenge, PF262: Jealousy, PF594: Argument, PF422: Grief, and PF666: Omen. As for what else it could transform into, probably ANYTHING. It would just have a mechanized look to it. A helicopter, a sword, a literal bomb, a satellite, Godzilla, or whatever crosses your imagination. Maybe even a Doppelganger of the user.

[@atlasultima4200]

That would be some shit if a Godzilla beast was one of the transformations, Dante just casually summons it and the demons know they're fucked.

[@nitaigauradasadasanudas]

Some moves in dmc 4 feel more satisfying than some moves in dmc 5 IMO (like million stab)

[@smgyro1476]

Very few, I would say. In matter fact I would only say million stab is more satisfying. Everything in Dante's moveset is nerfed, less versatile, and frankly inadequate compared to his DMC 5 counterpart. Even in DMC 3 his moves were stronger and more appropriately calibrated to handle the game's enemies. They improved his moveset from DMC 4 to DMC 5 massively imo
