The only way you survive is Dante deciding you're worth keeping alive. These people put respect on Dante.

[@yazmenakamura6750]

Maybe in his Character and Move Set, but not his Fight/Chase Theme. It's just some Generic Boss Music. I get that Atlus couldn't get Dante's Theme because of Copyright reasons (yes, I acknowledge that the Music was originally Raidou Kuzunoha's, but still), but they could've given him something better.

Seeing DMC2 Dante with his regular personality in this makes me wonder on what if Capcom made a reboot of DMC2 thus fixing the issue and giving Dante's regular personality in that game.

[@LocalAnonOnTheInternet]

Personally prefer that Capcom makes DMC2 actually playable. The game is so freakin' boring since nothing really tries to fight back or actually challenges you.

[@godofsin4604]

Dante had personality in dmc2, but....what killed it, was the gameplay and how overpowered his guns were that using rebellion was a waste of time and the description of ebony and Ivory literally made me angry, I mean come on..... "Handguns that shoot magic bullets"????!!

[@fenrir3164]

My whole problem with DMC2 besides Dante’s personality and whatever story, is the lack of weapons. 3 swords that function the same, why the hell would I switch rebellion out, the other two sucked and I didn’t even know there was a third sword till literally a few days ago. No gauntlets too. Guns were op and melee was boring, weak, and uninspired because of the lack of variety of devil arms.

[@WAyuso34]

[@sulthanarya3281]

This is how demons feel when they get chased by Dante in regular basis. But serious talk, what happen if we choose 'I guest so' option? To be honest I never try that.

[@arlynanderson4801]

It's the "yes" option. You listen to him and get lost. Well, you can just go through the door again after you said the "yes" option to him and he basically said you didn't listen and proceed like usual

[@KazShiro]

(im not sure if its changed in the remaster) Basically says he didn't expect you to agree and then tells you to lay low and never look back. If you go back the game asks "Will you break your promise with Dante and step through?" and if you pick yes he says that he thought that you had gone home and that you're asking for it. Thats when it proceeds like usual.

[@jaketheberge1970]

@@KazShiro Does either choice affect whether he joins your team later? My one playthrough I entered the endgame dungeon early and couldn't get to the last Kalpa or whichever one were he joins you team. And I think I went with the promise not to go further into Hell option and did anyways.

It’s so weird seeing DMC2 Dante not acting like a tryhard edgelord.

[@SyperDT]

There needs to be a DMC6 or a spinoff that fully explains why DMC2 Dante is so drastically different.

[@Comkill117]

He didn’t really act like an edge lord in 2, he just kinda sleepwalked his way through that game. Like he has 2-3 line right at the end and that’s pretty much it.

[@__Xeese]

@@SyperDT I always assumed it was because he's way more mellowed out when doing actual work for his business. He acted this way in the anime too.

[@arzfan29]

He doesn't do anything edgy in dmc 2, he just does coin flips with his coin that's only heads, unless you're trying to argue that him pretending whether he does stuff is up to a coinflip is edgy

[@echoshinola]

He wasn't a edgelord in DMC2 per se, Dante was more depressed and stoic about his line of work and it's seen in the DMC anime that happens between DMC1 and 2 where he often drinks his depression away And I can't blame him, dude basically had little to no family left, had his revenge but at the cost of mourning his brother again. Trish and Lady were there, but Dante was still sad where he didn't hold back until DMC4 where he met Nero

[@steamedrice97]

"So anyway, I started blasting."

[@lowhp_comic]

Dante sounds a little pissed before he battles him, like he wasn't expecting him to win their little game lol

[@jaketheberge1970]

He's may have underestimated the Demi Fiend a bit. By the endgame Demi Fiend may have given Dante a run for his money.

I do find this to be more terrifying due to how lax Dante is compared to Raidou, and he's one of my favorite gaming protagonists!
